...Park joined the new South Korean army. His rapid rise was briefly interrupted in 1948 when he was arrested on charges of being a Communist agent. Park was acquitted-after turning state's evidence against several of his fellow officers. During the Korean War, his aloofness set him apart from other generals of his country's army, who were known familiarly to their American colleagues by anglicized nicknames. Park, a puritanical loner, was always ''General Park.'' In 1961, a year after the ouster of Strongman Syngman Rhee, Park and four other generals seized power...
Nevertheless, Harvard appeared much stricter than Radcliffe about keeping the sexes apart. Lamont Library did not open to women until 1968, much to the surprise of the first Radcliffe student to enter officially, who said she had often been there before. Harvard required its students to escort Radcliffe women home if they were out after 11 p.m. At the same time, the University decreed in 1966 that the latest women could stay at Harvard organizations was 12:30 a.m., and that extension applied only to The Crimson and WHRB...

I think that from now on the teams should be selected to play in the World Series on the basis of the distance between and the vitality of their cities and not by their abilities...
There they were, only a seat apart on the dais: the President and the Senator who would be President. Jimmy Carter rose to praise the Senator's late brother for having "summoned our nation out of complacency." Then he listened attentively as the Senator described his brother's Administration as "years of grace, trust and hope," and vowed: "The journey never ends, the dream shall never die." The scene at the dedication of the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston was symbolic of Jimmy Carter's week; nearly everywhere he went the shadow of the phantom...
