...York Daily News. Instead, you might spy him in the back corridors of Capitol Hill, where he is respected as co-chair of the mighty Business Roundtable lobby. His 62-year-old countenance is also familiar in Greenwich, Ct., where his well-to-do neighbors doubtless regard him as an upstanding citizen, hard-working and proud of his son and daughter.

South Korea and Thailand both live with the clear and present danger of hostile, militarily formidable Communist neighbors. Paradoxically, the menace from North Korea and Viet Nam has galvanizing, stabilizing effects on the governments of South Korean President Park and Thai Prime Minister Kriangsak Chamanand.
