bond coincides corporate investors looking market realized rises seeing signs strength
We're looking for signs that it won't continue, but right now I'm not seeing signs of that. The rises in corporate issuance coincides with strength in the market as investors realized the corporate bond market wouldn't let them down.
reality people together
The reality is we all have to work together to make it work. We're going to be congenial with everyone. We're not telling people to park on the street.
korea support needs
If South Korea is going to survive, and keep the peace on the peninsula, its citizens need to start conveying support for their state.
mistake thinking years
That's a mistake I think that a lot of Western observers make is to assume that Korean nationalism is hundreds if not thousands of years old. When in fact nationalism is incompatible with Korean Confucian tradition.

korea people republic
People tend to overlook the fact that North Korea's economy collapsed at about the same time as South Koreans lost faith in their own state. The late 1980s and early 1990s were a time when South Koreans were questioning the very legitimacy of their republic.
