Pyongyang is widely expected to achieve one important propaganda success next fall, a U.N. General Assembly resolution calling for an end to the U.N. mandate in Korea under which the American troops are stationed south of the DMZ. Washington will keep the American forces in place no matter what happens at the U.N., since only the Security Council, where the U.S. has a veto, can actually abolish the command. There is speculation that the U.S. will agree to discuss the removal of its troops from under the U.N. command structure before a vote is taken in the General Assembly...
...great extent, the Korean economic success is a personal monument to the country's flinty President Park. Rapid growth did not really begin until about 1962, when Park's government instituted the first of the country's five-year development plans and began to receive huge amounts of foreign investment capital, the majority from Japan. Until then, Korea had stagnated under the ineffectual, if autocratic rule of aging President Syngman Rhee. Overthrown in 1960 by spontaneous, nationwide student demonstrations, Rhee was replaced for a brief period by a truly democratic regime led by President...
...SOUTH KOREA'S SUCCESS: We have surpassed the North Korean Communists in economic competition, while keeping them from unleashing another war of aggression. We have coped with their persistent provocations ever since the signing of the armistice agreement in 1953.

Today we are capable of overwhelming North Korea in all fields except the military...
...Expenses. One important reason that relatively few stations have adopted the format, despite its impressive success, is its equally impressive cost. Instead of a skeleton crew of disc jockeys and rip-and-read announcers, an all-news station typically has platoons of street reporters, anchor persons, helicopter-borne traffic spotters, weather analysts, consumer reporters, writers, editors, directors and producers. New York's WCBS, for example, has 60 editorial employees, nearly three times its pre-all-news complement, and Chicago's WBBM went from 32 staffers to 64 when it made the switch in 1968. Says WBBM General Manager...
...hinge that not only supports the weight of the entire body but allows the foot to rotate and tilt through a range of angles. Doctors have learned to replace diseased or injured finger joints, hips, shoulders and knees with effective, man-made spares. But they have had only limited success with artificial ankles. In many cases the best they could do was to put in a hinge that allowed the foot to move only up or down. The accepted treatment for most patients with badly damaged ankles has been to fuse the bones, an operation that locks the ankle...
