...late President Park: He was a rare leader, a leader almost without parallel in our history. He opened up an era of unprecedented prosperity for us. He dedicated himself to Korea's survival and to the task of building a self-reliant nation. Where did he fail? Personally, I think there should have been an improvement in the process of electing a President. The 18-year period he spent governing the country was really long. Toward the end, I'm afraid it became somewhat difficult for the nation to grasp some of his ideas, basic aims...
...overuse it--in the Southern Renaissance, an intellectual outburst after World War I that includes William Faulkner, Allen Tate, Thomas Wolfe, Lillian Smith, W.J. Cash, C. Vann Woodward, and Robert Penn Warren. King observes that these three historical stages leading up to the Southern Renaissance--repitition, recollection, reassimilation--parallel exactly the process of psychoanalysis. The writer and historians of this era, climaxing in Woodward, struggled to reassess the Southern burden, the Gone With the Wind fantasy of hoopskirts and grace, the centerpiece of the Southern family romance. In a few cases--Woodward is one--King compliments these intellectuals for accomplishing...

He has enough ability to have garnered all-state honors on the parallel bars at a Darien, Conn., junior high and to have excelled in several sports through high school...
Arguing that "to understand today's colliding waves of change we must be able to identify clearly the parallel structures of all industrial nations," Toffler fills the first 140 pages of his book with an explanation of the Second Wave, born of the Industrial Revolution. The subtitles that break up the copy every page or so yield the basic scheme, not to mention mentality, of Toffler's discussion. "The Technicians of Power." "Mechano-Mania." "The Streamlined Family." "The Paper Blizzard." "The Progress Principle." Under industrialism, he argues, life is as nasty, brutish and short as it ever...
