...Enigma. At 44, tough, hawk-faced little General Pak is an enigma, little known either to South Koreans or to the U.S. officers who, through the U.N. Korea Command, train, equip and largely control the tough, 600,000-man ROK army. A career officer who was trained in Japanese military schools, Pak was court-martialed for Communist activities as a South Korean officer in 1948, escaped with his life to become an anti-Communist-and the ROK army's chief of operations. He speaks little English, never made the study tour of U.S. military camps that has been...
...Sixth Exiled. There is no doubt that Stroessner, 48, is still in command. Telephones are still tapped. Plainclothes cops still lounge near opposition homes. Cells are still packed with political prisoners. The army, so far, backs Stroessner resolutely. Some 300.000 Paraguayans-one-sixth of the population-live in exile; hundreds of others waste away in concentration camps that he maintains in the "Green Hell" of the Chaco jungle...

Critics of A.M.A., including many members, charge that this ponderous machinery keeps A.M.A. from reflecting the varied and open-minded attitudes of doctors themselves and gives rise to the common complaint that "we are respected as individuals but looked down on as a group."

...about not seeing combat), Manhattan's Lower East Side, marriage, and the sort of women who, 25 years ago, wore silver fox capes. He treats these subjects seriously and rarely comes close to humor. He is too meticulous to tolerate really gross cliches (although a hotel room can "command" a view), and he is too circumspect to attempt beauty. He is, as he explains in a soberly appreciative preface, a professional...
...feature such notables as Mohammed and Napoleon Bonaparte, the vast majority have been stigmatized by superstitions that attribute the disease to demons. The actual cause is unknown, but seems to be related to a disturbance in the cerebral cortex. A patch of the cerebral cortex-the brain's command post -gets irritated, and sends out waves of involuntary impulses. On the receiving end, the body muscles respond with spasmodic convulsions-the epileptic seizure. In the average victim, the seizure passes within five minutes. Drugs, among them Dilantin and phenobarbital, eliminate seizures in 50% of cases, reduce them in another...
