...commandos who operate in small teams, slipping across the border for hit-and-run sabotage and terrorism. Watching for them on the southern side are 12,000 U.S. troops of the 2nd Division, who guard the 18.5-mi. American sector, and 250,000 South Korean troops, who patrol the rest of the 151-mi. DMZ. To help slow down the Communists, an 11-ft.-high chain-link and wire fence runs the length of the zone; it remains under constant surveillance by U.S. and South Korean troops, who hole up in sandbagged guardposts with grenade launchers and submachine guns. Originally...
...Envoy Cyrus Vance visited Seoul last February and promised to give Park $100 million in additional U.S. military aid this year on top of the normal $160 million. Drawing on this new account, Park is organizing a 2,500,000-man reserve that, on call, will help to patrol the coast, operate ground-surveillance radar stations and perform other such duties. He is also trying to modernize the country's 600,000-man armed forces, replacing World War II rifles with the new M16, buying U.S. helicopters for better troop mobility and adding new tanks...
...destroyer this month, the second by the end of the year. At a special meeting in Washington next month between the U.S. and South Korean defense ministers. South Korea hopes to persuade the U.S. to provide two more destroyers, plus a fleet of speedy (30 to 40 knots) patrol boats that can keep up with the fast Soviet engines that power the North Korean spy boats along the coast. Park is also pressing the U.S. to provide faster planes. Right now, his air force has 300 fighters, mostly F-86 Sabre jets, compared with North Korea's 450 fighters...
...characters, with the exception of Gilbert's rather savage self-portrait, King Gama, are splendidly familiar. The marshal chorus, sometimes seen as a patrol of bobbies, sometimes as a well-buckled line of officers consists of the three sons of King Gama, Neil Fairbairn, William Baker and Ted Rau: wonderful as a trio of bass clarinets. The expected Friends of the Suitor are played with tolerable alacrity by John B. McKean and David Evitts. As for the suitor himself, Hilarion, his name is, nothing more need be said than that Danius Turek is filling an accustomed role with acustomed accomplishment...
...Panthers are undeterred. Cradling shotguns, they ride the streets behind patrol cars, stepping forward, law book in hand, to advise arrested Negroes of their rights. Hatred of law officers is an article of faith, and Oakland's 645 police, only 19 of them Negroes, reciprocate; in the lexicon of Panther "Black Papers," all Oakland cops are pigs...
