...target of their wrath was not so much Park himself as some candidates of Park's Democratic Republican Party (D.R.P.). In the Assembly elections two weeks ago, the D.R.P. won 130 of the Assembly's 175 seats; that was a gain of 20-far more than expected. The minority, more traditionalist New Democratic Party (N.D.P.) accused the winners of stuffing ballot boxes, doctoring tally sheets and bribing voters and vote counters alike in at least 20 of the country's 131 constituencies. Unless Park called new elections, the N.D.P. threatened, its 44 representatives would boycott the Assembly...

Indeed, the music itself was what mattered most to him. All of his talents-his firm beat, fantastic ear, uncanny sense of style and structure, and even his rages-were marshaled toward a faithful re-creation of the composer's intention. During a rehearsal of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique Symphony...
...copies that his first four books sold), but neither ballyhoo nor sales can refute the conclusion that Jones is a one-novel writer. His first book, From Here to Eternity (1951), at least projected a brutally candid image of the professional soldier between wars. Jones wrote it at white wrath out of his own experience in the peacetime army in Hawaii. The wrath is gone now; what remains is spillover Spillane combined with horrid Hemingway...
