Last week Tiger Song's nearly completed purge ran into unexpected opposition. Assemblyman Um Sang Sup, a member of the opposition Democratic Party, charged that Song's ruthless methods had prompted 153 officers to commit suicide rather than face courts-martial.

Without warning, the door of the book-glutted flat was suddenly flung open and in burst Joy's enraged father. "Aha, Wilson! The game is up!" roared Accountant John Stewart, 58, brandishing a horsewhip. Beside Father Stewart stood his wife, bearing a sturdy umbrella, plus Joy's younger sister and brother. Confronting the steamed...
