Excerpt: Inchon (also called Inchon! ) is a 1982 film directed by Terence Young about the Battle of Inchon during the Korean War. The protagonist of the film is General Douglas MacArthur (Laurence Olivier), who led the United States surprise amphibious landing at Incheon in 1950. Inchon begins with a depiction of North Korean soldiers moving past the 38th parallel north into South Korea in June 1950. Barbara Hallsworth (Jacqueline Bisset) heads for Seoul after hearing of the invasion. Her husband, U.S. Major Frank Hallsworth (Ben Gazzara), is involved in a love affair with a young Korean woman (Karen Kahn) in Seoul. Major Hallsworth learns of the North Korean invasion, and travels to locate his wife with the assistance of army sergeant August Henderson (Richard Roundtree). The U.S. succeeds in driving out the North Korean forces, and the last scene in the story shows MacArthur reciting the Lord's Prayer. The film was financed by Unification Church founder Sun Myung Moon, and its producer was church member Mitsu Haru Ishii. Moon initially did not want the public to know that he was involved in the film's production. Ishii told the film's writer, Robin Moore, that he wanted Inchon to depict the hardship inflicted on the Korean people from the Korean War. Laurence Olivier was paid $1 million to depict General Douglas MacArthur in the film. Olivier researched the role by meeting with Alexander Haig, and studying MacArthur's voice affect. Shooting took place in California, Italy, Ireland, Japan and Korea. Marine Corps Lieutenant General Samuel Jaskilka served as the film's technical advisor, and the United States Department of Defense allowed 1,500 soldiers to...http://booksllc.net/?id=1482557 ...

Chapters: Moonie, Indemnity, Love Bombing. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 31. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Moonie (plural Moonies) is a term which refers to members of the Unification Church; it is derived from the name of church founder Sun Myung Moon. Some dictionaries call it offensive or derogatory; others do not. It has been used by critics of the church since the 1970s. Church members have used the term, including Sun Myung Moon, President of the Unification Theological Seminary David Kim, and Moon's aide Bo Hi Pak. Members of the Unification Church have stated that they currently prefer the term "Unificationists". It has seen usage in languages including English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, and according to Religion and Politics In America Unification Church followers are "universally known, often derisively" by the term. The word Moonie was coined in 1974 by the American media, when the Unification Church held a campaign at Madison Square Garden in New York City. During the Sun Myung Moon tax fraud and conspiracy case in 1982, the prosecution argued that the term be banned during jury selection; the court denied the request and ruled that the term was appropriately "descriptive". In the 1980s the church hired civil rights activist Ralph Abernathy to equate the term with the word "Nigger". Members protested outside of the Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post after the newspapers ran articles using the term. In 2004, the UPI Stylebook and Guide To Newswriting (written by Unification Church-owned news agency United Press International) advised news outlets not to use the term to refer to members of the Unification Church. In 2005, the Unification Church lodged a formal complaint with Ofcom, a body that supervises communication industries in the United King...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=20660 ... Read more
