Aspate of scare stories dominated the news on the weekend of November 5 to 7, coinciding with Defense Secretary Les Aspin's visit to Seoul, Korea. From National Public Radio to CBS Evening News, wild charges circulated about crazed North Koreans readying an atomic bomb, forbidding access to international inspectors and concentrating 70 percent of their army on the border with South Korea, the implication being that they might attack at any minute. On Sunday U.S. President Bill Clinton told that any attack on South Korea is an attack on the United States.
