...fought 200 battles and never lost one," brags South Korea's army chief of staff, 41-year-old Lieut. General "Tiger" Song Yo Chan, and with some reason. An incorruptible, tough-minded professional, Song fought throughout World War II with the Japanese army, during the Korean war commanded South Korea's crack Capitol Division, and won his nickname from admiring U.S. General James Van Fleet. But the offensive he launched last February has proved in many ways the most arduous of his career. His mission: to root out wholesale pilferage and embezzlement in the 650,000-man Korean...

The frequency showed a wide range, from four or five times a year to three times a week, with higher frequencies in the lower socio-economic classes.

If Christians practiced what they preached, there would be no frustration and no fear...

Result: pro goalies regularly contract what the trade calls "rubber shock" (defined by one player as "first cousin to shell shock"), have even skated off the ice bewildered during championship games. Over the years, Plante had faced up to the attack without flinching, and paid the price: broken nose, hairline fracture of the skull, cracks in both cheekbones...
