...country, Park joined the new South Korean army. His rapid rise was briefly interrupted in 1948 when he was arrested on charges of being a Communist agent. Park was acquitted-after turning state's evidence against several of his fellow officers. During the Korean War, his aloofness set him apart from other generals of his country's army, who were known familiarly to their American colleagues by anglicized nicknames. Park, a puritanical loner, was always ''General Park.'' In 1961, a year after the ouster of Strongman Syngman Rhee, Park and four other generals seized...
...Complete Works of Anton Webern (Columbia, 4 LPs) lays before us a lifetime of composing in roughly three hours of listening time.

In record amounts, Americans are buying into the relatively new money market mutual funds. They offer minimum risk and yields of 10% to 13%, double or more the low rates set by the Government on passbook savings accounts...
...first election of a U.S. union chief to the board of such a large company may be a symbolic victory for labor, but it will not necessarily set a precedent. Chrysler's plight makes it unique, and this is not a deal that many other companies or other unions will want to accept in better times...
