...moodo did not please everyone. Students in Seoul denounced the treaty as "a sellout of the country." Opposition parties expressed fear that normal relations would "bring Korea again under Japan's economic and political domination."

...bearded, barefoot hermit-songwriter named Eden Ahbez, who smuggled one of his songs to Cole through his valet. It was called Nature Boy, and Cole's haunting version of it became a runaway bestseller. He soon broke up his trio to charges of "artistic sellout" by the jazz critics.

Not until he was 27 did he get his first show. It was a virtual sellout, and Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art bought three works. Three years later, in 1961, he won an award at the Carnegie International, has since shown around the world and now commands prices in five figures. This week 70 works of his will go on view in London's Whitechapel...
