Seoul on the brink as war tears at its heart
HAL BOYLE writes from New York on May 5 that Seoul, battered and besieged, has become a civic graveyard. Repeated offensives drive residents away while soldiers fight a war of maneuver to stall a Chinese advance. The Han River fortress risks isolation, leaving UN forces exposed and civilians starving among rubble and rats as four battles change hands. Seoul’s modern glow fades into ruin, a casualty of global democracy fighting to remember it.

Dorothy Dix on unhappy marriages and remedies
Dorothy Dix argues unhappy marriages stem from lack of effort to fix issues not divorce. She says most couples ignore problems, why they stay, and offers simple remedies: give the partner what they want, avoid forcing unwanted changes, and invest in affection, attention, and shared joys.
