Persuasive Phrase. To a great extent, Park has earned the support that he enjoys. Since 1961, the country has enjoyed an unprecedented economic boom, with per-capita income rising from $85.20 to $134 in 1968. In addition, Park's firm stance in the face of threats from the hard-line Communist regime north of the 38th parallel has won popularity for his regime in security-conscious South Korea. The opposition campaigned on a slogan of "Freedom v. Dictatorship." In the end, however, voters were moved by the government's catch phrase: "A vote against Park is a vote...

In 1965 alone, 26 of the Lockheed-designed interceptors, built under license by Messerschmitt, fell out of the sky.

In the long run more men may eventually be able to go to graduate school of arts and sciences but for the time being this area has been one of the most profoundly affected by the draft. I doubt, however, that graduate and professional schools, generally, are changing their admissions policy...
Long-range planning is also affected by the draft: 166 men or 15 per cent of the Class of 1968 indicated that they were not certain about their long-range career plans, as compared with 92 or 8 per cent of the Class of 1967. The data in this area are not yet available for the Class...
