After 18 years as a virtual dictator, Park had left his country a legacy of political repression but also of extraordinary development (see box). After the ceremony, Park and his entourage-including his ever-present five-man plainclothes guard-returned to Seoul; he spent the rest of the afternoon in his office in the Blue House, South Korea's presidential mansion.

...star when he named him chairman of the National Commission on Neighborhoods. But Timilty failed miserably. The Commission made no concrete recommendations, and Timilty drove away half of the Commission's members in the process. He has spent most of the campaign accusing White of mismanagement, neglecting to present his own coherent vision. If Boston is going to have a less-than-perfect mayor for the next four years, it might as well be the one who's proven he can run the city...
