...actively urging that the South Korean military keep clear of politics, and that Choi's civilian post-Park regime try to broaden its popular base. Reason: a major fear in Washington that if internecine mistrust in South Korea's top military leadership gets much worse, it might render the country dangerously open to invasion by the Communist regime in North Korea...
...states in the novel, aware that "Forming an opinion--say on a person's conduct--was a good deal like fumbling in a lock with a key chosen at hazard." As analyzing human nature can be slightly slow, clumsy and difficult on paper, so much harder is it to render it on film ready made for passive viewing in a theater.

Paul ruled out any means-before, during or after the conjugal sex act-that would render procreation impossible.

...making it increasingly difficult for the U.S. to defend against Soviet missile systems, but also is cornering the U.S. into the "absurd" single nuclear option of destroying Soviet cities while U.S. population centers are wiped out in return. The lack of credible lower-level military options, he said, could render the U.S. helpless against Soviet pressure on threatened allies...
