Dear Brother Anthony,<br><br>Hope you will enjoy this about Mr. John Rich;<br><br> (Re: 7.4.(1972) ³²ºÏ °øµ¿¼±¾ð) " Most of the world, however, greeted the surprising news of the conciliatory joint statement with soaring optimism about the chance for a rapprochement between the two bitter enemies. Among those most fascinated were the veteran correspondents who had covered <b>the Korean War </b>and still following events on <b>the divided peninsula. </b> <b>Keyes Beeech, </b>Tokyo correspondent of the <b>Chicago Daily News</b>, was among the most eminent of these. At the outset of in 1950, <b>Beech</b> had telephoned NBC correspondent <b>John Rich </b>in the Japanese capital to tell him that hostilities had broken out at <b>38th parallel</b>. ' We'd better get over to Korea, there's war on,' said <b>Beech</b>. Twenty-two years later, after hearing the dramatic news of the North-South joint statement, <b>Beech </b>again telephoned <b>Rich </b>and reminded him of their 1950 discussions, This time it had a different twist. 'We would better get over to Korea,' said <b>Beech, </b>there is a<b> peace </b>on.' Both men were in Seoul with in days."<br>
