[KS] Conference on the Park Era

[Afostercarter at aol.com]

Best wishes for what sounds a fascinating conference.

By the same token: Were someone to organize a meeting
on the state of South Korean politics today, 25 years later
- with the kwago ch'ongsan which this List merrily debated
two years ago now in full flood, largely targeted at the Parks
pere et fille - its title could well be: No Parking!

peace and love,
Aidan FC
