With the festive atmosphere of the Asian Games two weeks behind, South Korea's ruling party last week resumed its own game of hardball by ordering the arrest of Opposition Assemblyman Yoo Sung Hwan. The incident began when Yoo, 53, distributed advance copies of a speech he intended to make before the National Assembly. When the legislative session adjourned abruptly, Yoo was forced to wait until the next day to deliver his fiercely antigovernment remarks...

But at least one group of church officials has deemed these traditional words unfit for use in worship. Earlier this year a committee preparing a new hymnal for the United Methodist Church voted to delete the lines from the volume.
