In fact, his retirement had been hastened by a truckload of Pak's troops, who swooped onto General Chang's home in the predawn hours and hustled the startled victim off to Seoul's capitol building. Getting the point, General Chang called an emergency cabinet meeting and made his announcement.

Now broke, he is living off friends. He was forced reluctantly into his first pair of shoes. His family and neighbors were worried: "Will they let him come back to Pakistan?"

To shore up Northeast, which began as a regional carrier in New England, the board five years ago granted the line the right to fly the blue-ribbon New York-Miami route, which Eastern and National Airlines were already flying. Against such entrenched lines, Northeast could not attract enough passengers to make money for itself, and it cut so deeply into Eastern's and National...
