But the alliance received a shock with Greece's withdrawal last week of its military forces from NATO'S integrated command. Greece's departure left a hole in NATO's southeast defenses against the Soviet...
...Under Park's stern decrees, nine people have been tried and sentenced to death; 162 others have been given prison sentences ranging from three years to life. Last week alone, Park's military courts sentenced 62 opponents of the regime to stiff prison terms for plotting to overthrow the government.

All accepted the summary sentences with moving dignity. Said Yun: "I ask you one question...
