...from North Korea, Moon, 50, was a day laborer in Pusan before he founded the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity in 1950.

...implied threat of force, but more often by military aid, trade and diplomacy, the Soviets have planted their ensign in most of the world's oceans and are expanding diplomatic beachheads in Asia, Africa and even the Americas. During the past five years, Soviet economic aid to non-Communist countries has doubled to $485 million a year, while military aid has increased from $350 million to about $500 million a year-even excluding the vast infusion of men and missiles in Egypt. Aeroflot, which aims to become a global carrier, now touches down in 57 countries, compared...
