When the Red delegation, led by North Korea's dapper and durable Nam Il, and the U.N. delegation, led by Lieut. General William K. Harrison, sat down in the conference hut at Panmunjom, the atmosphere was cold, correct and businesslike. There were no smiles, no nods, no handshakes. There had been prior agreement that prisoners willing to go home should be repatriated after a ceasefire, that others should be placed in custody of a neutral nation pending final disposition. Beyond that, there was no progress...

Meanwhile, North Korea's Nam II, who had not been seen in the flesh since October, dispatched a letter to the U.N. calling for full-scale resumption of truce talks.

Marching north over the bleak, desolate, road to Munsan that night, in the true spirit of independence, but with no designs of conquest, was the widow Ahn Nam-chang and her little family. It was the first full moon of the lunar new year and, in accordance with age-old custom, peasant folk were cracking open the hard little Korean walnuts to foretell the future. No matter that Korea lay devastated by war, there was still a future. If the kernels came out whole, that was a good omen. On the other hand, if they came out broken, that...
