Teddy, The Korea story was reported in the NY Times on Fri 1/2/98. <<.....In South Korea, the financial situation continues to look grim. The government broadcast a request on national television Thursday for the nation's citizens to donate any gold they owned, such as jewelry, to help alleviate the debt crisis. And in a New Year's address, President-elect Kim Dae-jung warned of "many unimaginable hardships" facing South Korea in 1998. Kim alluded to waves of bankruptcies and layoffs that will sweep the country this year.>> Dave
