...strength at the polls was drawn not from the ruling party but from another opposition group, the Democratic Korea Party, which gained 81 seats in the 1981 elections but only 35 this time. N.K.D.P. support was particularly strong in Seoul (pop. 9 million), the capital, and the southern port city of Pusan (pop. 2.5 million...

TIMOTHTY FARLEY(Jack Lemmon) is a man comfortable with his job: flexible hours, great fringe benefits, plenty of time to include a healthy appetite for golf, good port, and expensive cars. No midlife crisis here-lots of friends, hordes of admirers, all, an adequate hero for a mediocre movie. But Mass Appealgives to this good ol' boys a bizarre twist; rather than spending his morning writing letters to constituents, as we might expect, Farley instead stands at the front of a church and leads a congregation in the Profession of Faith. Timothy Farley is a priest, and a very contented...

...cooperation, including combined exercises, visits and logistical support arrangements, plays an essential part in promoting mutual security."

In late December, the U.S. sent a blanket request to New Zealand for port visits required by U.S. vessels in 1985. Lange replied that he preferred to deal with such matters on a case-by-case basis. To U.S. policymakers, that suggested that the Prime Minister had painted himself into a corner and did not know...

Finally, on Jan. 21, deliberately seeking a confrontation, the Reagan Administration sent a routine request to Wellington asking for permission for the U.S.S. Buchanan, a destroyer, to call at a New Zealand port during the ANZUS military exercise, named Sea Eagle, planned for March. The Buchanan is a conventionally powered vessel, but since the U.S. refuses, by long-standing policy, to state whether a particular ship is or is not carrying nuclear weapons, the New Zealand ban effectively applied...
