...still hours away. Kim (a pseudonym she used to protect her family in North Korea) is about to meet, for the first time, the men responsible for saving her life. One is Kim Sang Hun, a lay Christian from Seoul. The other is the Rev. Tim Peters, a soft-spoken evangelical Christian pastor from Benton Harbor, Mich., who runs the Seoul-based charity Helping Hands Korea.

Other coaches ignore verbal commitments altogether...
...extent that everybody says you fight one war with the tactics of the previous war, it's very possible. Clearly MacArthur's having spoken out in disagreement with the policy of the president and then being fired for insubordination would have been very much on the minds of the generals in Vietnam. And in MacArthur's case, it was - according to Truman - a clear violation of civilian control of the military. At a time when Truman was drafting the possibility of a settlement in the Korean conflict, MacArthur comes out saying that this war must essentially be won by arms...
