Cautiously, tentatively, Seoul came back to normal. The crowded tea shops buzzed with excited conversation among Koreans who still could hardly believe their power had toppled Syngman Rhee's twelve-year rule. When the curfew was moved up to midnight, jazz bands resumed their raucous ways and the noisy, bright-lit bars were awash with tipsy revelers and eager ladies of the evening. In fact, except for a few damaged buildings and the soldiers guarding the National Assembly, there were no outward signs at all of Korea's fortnight of revolt...
...setting that might have inspired Horace, the yellow-walled palazzo sits serenely atop the Janiculum hill, Rome's highest, where the eye is on a level with St. Peter's dome, and a languid fountain dripping in the courtyard is louder than the city's raucous Vespas.

But as a thing of beauty, the Ohio ran downhill; the sprawling, river-fed cities fed back a byproduct of civilization-raw sewage and industrial wastes -until the great stream became an open sewer. Game fish bellied up and died; riverfront Manhattan Beach, near Bellevue, Ky., was covered with a foul slime; Louisville's water system doused...
