Risky Options. If Pyongyang decides not to cool it, however, the options open to the U.S. all involve serious risks. One is to storm Yonghung Bay and either retrieve Pueblo from Wonsan or destroy it-though a commando-style raid of the sort might involve heavy casualties. Seizing a North Korean ship or two would hardly be worth the effort inasmuch as the biggest, most attractive vessels Pyongyang has afloat are two 500-ton Russian-built mine sweepers. A blockade of Wonsan would mean cutting the Soviet submarine fleet off from one of its principal Far Eastern ports. Nabbing...
Dramatic and dangerous as it was, the seizure of the U.S.S. Pueblo was only the latest and loudest thunderbolt from a long-gathering storm of North Korean belligerence. Under Premier Kim II Sung, a tough, Soviet-trained soldier, the North has become increasingly frustrated by its place in the Communist world and its poor showing visa-vis South Korea.

The leaders of the Social Democrats are trying to turn the world's oldest Socialist party (104 years) into a more broadly based "people's party." The trouble with the effort is that it has raised a storm of protest from the trade unions, long the backbone of the party. The unions angrily charge that the party has sold out its Socialist principles in return for a role as junior partner to the conservative Christian Democrats in Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger's eleven-month-old Grand Coalition...
Pearl has help of a high order-an exuberant cast of dancers that prances up a tropical storm with Gower Champion's expert choreography. Cab Calloway is first-rate as the well-heeled hay and feed man for whom Dolly Levi sets her ostrich plumes; the only pity is that he has so little...
