Before the week was out, the North Koreans had made two more attacks on allied forces at the DMZ, killing two more South Koreans...
...episode in the flower-filled coffin at the duke's chateau? Or the exquisitely painful encounter with a fat, sadistic Japanese who tries to pay for her services with a Geisha Club credit card? Does her uncommonly cuckolded husband really spend the rest of his life blind, mute and paralyzed after an attack by her gangster lover? Or is that merely another of Severine's interior arrangements...
