Rhee Dreams Gone Home as He Lays in Hawaii Hospital
In Honolulu Dr. Syngman Rhee, once the iron-willed leader of South Korea, sits aged and frail in a hospital, no longer seeking to return home or relive the past. He spends hours in a wheelchair, listens to hymns, and speaks of life rather than future plans, with his Austrian wife reading aloud. His military-ruled homeland has reportedly rejected any return, and Rhee shows few regrets, stating he would repeat his actions, perhaps even more, if given a chance.
