Deep Shock. The ferocity of the junta's reforming zeal may have toned down some of the country's bad habits-Seoul's normally dirty streets are now perceptibly cleaner, the once chaotic traffic is almost miraculously smooth-but there have been harmful side effects. In the first angry flush after the coup, the ill-paid officers of the junta slapped immense fines on prosperous businessmen and merchants for "illegal profiteering." Many of the fines were later reduced, but the business community remains in deep shock. In one district of Pusan alone, 400 shops have closed...
...several near-polar routes take its planes through fresh radioactive clouds from the Russian tests. According to the Public Health Service, which checks Pan Am's planes, they are already ten times as radioactive as before the Russian tests started.

To combat the inroads of electric shavers, Gillette's technicians went to work to perfect a sharper, smoother-cutting Super Blue Blade (by chemically treating the edges of the steel). Introduced last year, the Super Blue now accounts for 45% of Gillette's blade sales...
