INTERNATIONAL

AN UNTOLD SIDE

Of an American Battle

When American troops stormed Wolmi Island, South Korea, more than half a century ago, it was a hive of Communist trenches and pillboxes. Now it is a park where children play. But inside a ragged tent at the entrance of the park a group of aging South Koreans gather daily to draw attention to their side of the conflict, a story of carnage not mentioned in South Korea's official histories or textbooks. PAGE 6

RADIATION LEAK SUSPECTED

An American nuclear-powered submarine may have leaked a small amount of radiation as it stopped by Japan in the spring, the Japanese government said. The chief government spokesman said that the amount of radioactivity was too insignificant to ''affect the human body or the environment.'' The Japanese government and American military have been trying to ease public resistance to the stationing of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the George Washington, southwest of Tokyo in September. PAGE 12

TROOPS BATTLE SEPARATISTS

Troops from the former Soviet republic of Georgia battled separatist fighters in a rebel republic, killing at least six people and wounding more than a dozen others, officials from both sides said. Each side accused the other of setting off the fighting. PAGE 12

NATIONAL

OBAMA RECONSIDERS

Opposition to Drilling

Senator Barack Obama, noting ''very constructive'' talks between Senate Republicans and Democrats on the issue in recent days, said that he would reluctantly consider accepting some new offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Senator John McCain, who favors an aggressive expansion of off-shore drilling on every coast, quickly put out releases accusing Mr. Obama of flip-flopping. PAGE 16

LIVING AND DYING BLUES

Dee Henderson's soft voice piloted ''Cap'n Pete's Blues Cruise'' on Memphis's volunteer radio station, WEVL, for 26 years. Friends said he explained the blues so well because he had lived its rural roots in the Mississippi Delta. And now, with his death, from shotgun blasts in his back yard and his grandson charged with first-degree murder, the blues connection is even more painful for his fans. PAGE 22

LOCAL HEROES

While the younger men still dream of the big time, the older hands recognize their dim prospects of making it in Vince McMahon's army of World Wrestling Entertainment beefcakes. But still they come to wrestle at the South Broadway Athletic Club, where for more than a century fans have watched an evolving crew of local heroes slug it out in the beery St. Louis night. PAGE 15

OBITUARIES

PIERRE BEReS, 95

The king of French booksellers, he was friend to Picasso and Eluard, publisher of Barthes and Aragon, a man renowned for his taste and connoisseurship, his vast financial resources and his ruthlessness in the pursuit of the rare and the beautiful. PAGE 29

METRO

STILL CHEWING THE FAT,

Along With the Food

They meet twice a week, up to 12 of them, if nobody is in the hospital or on vacation. The name of their informal group is Romeo, which stands for Retired Old Men Eating Out. The age range is in the upper regions, but the conversation is vigorous. ''Not all the guys have all their marbles, but what they have left of their marbles they bring to the table,'' said one of the founders. PAGE 26

DRILLING FOR WHALES

Is the oil business the new whaling business? The comparison is not as far-fetched as you might think. Eric Jay Dolin, who wrote some of the text for an exhibit at the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum, says the message for today is that one era's irreplaceable energy source can be the next one's relic. Our Towns, by Peter Applebome. PAGE 25

SPORTS

LOOKING OUT FOR HORSES

In Heat of Olympics

Hong Kong, site of the Olympic equestrian events, is slightly farther south than Havana and is nearly surrounded by the tropical waters of the South China Sea. Its summer afternoons are even stickier than those in Atlanta, the site of the 1996 Olympics and previously the toughest climate faced by Olympic equestrians, so the 42 national teams competing are taking a lot of precautions. PAGE 1

NO SLAM, BUT A CHALLENGE

Some people -- Tiger Woods perhaps among them -- thought that just maybe the Oakland Hills Country Club outside Detroit would be final leg for golf's first Grand Slam. Not so. But the course that awaits next week's contestants could prove to be this year's most challenging layout, exceeding even the difficulty of the U.S. Open setup at Torrey Pines Golf Course. PAGE 1

BOOK REVIEW

READING EVERY WORD.

All 59 Million.

Ammon Shea set a task for himself: to read the Oxford English Dictionary, all 59 million words, in a year -- the equivalent, Nicholson Baker notes, of one John Grisham novel a day. In the resulting book, ''Reading the O.E.D.,'' Shea ''has walked the wildwood of our gnarled, ancient speech,'' Baker says in his review. PAGE 10

PARENTS AS CAPTORS

Julia Blackburn, a writer of fiction and nonfiction, including biographies of Napoleon and Billie Holliday, turns her gaze to her own family in ''The Three of Us.'' Her father was a poet and an alcoholic; her mother a painter and a nymphomaniac. How can it be possible to put a positive spin on the childhood that resulted? PAGE 16

PLAY

SHRINKING THE GAMES

To the Top 10 Events

The Beijing Olympics approach, with 10,708 athletes scheduled to compete in 302 events. In other words, far too many of both to try to keep up with. So, don't. Here's a breakdown of 10 competitions (one of which is the decathlon, which of course is 10 of its own) to keep an eye on, starting with table tennis, which the hosts figure to do pretty well in. PAGE 23

SUNDAY STYLES

IN SILICON VALLEY,

Night Life Reprogrammed

Young Internet entrepreneurs and a few members of the city's creative class are engaged in a new type of party, one which mashes together Silicon Alley 1.0's camaraderie and optimism, meetup.com's spontaneity and informality, Burning Man's home-brewed creativity, and a technology conference's devotion to unveiling ideas: tech-themed social events focused on the business of Web video content.

TRAVEL

A DISNEY VACATION

Without the Goofy-ness

First came Disneyland, then Walt Disney World, then the Disney Cruise Line. Now, after realizing there was still more money to be made off family vacations, Disney is branching out into the guided tour business, with itineraries far from the company theme parks. The 2009 schedule will be the biggest yet, including a tour to Africa. PAGE 3

TAMING THE CoTE SAUVAGE

The name is practically poetry in itself -- Cote Sauvage, or Wild Coast -- but maybe that's just because everything seems to sound better in French. And on the tiny peninsula off Brittany called Quiberon, the locals have turned savagery into an array of tourist attractions, including one that promises to ''get rid of daily tensions, fight tiredness and free minds and bodies.''

SUNDAY BUSINESS

SURVIVING WITH YAHOO,

But How Much Longer?

Jerry Yang, chief executive of Yahoo, says the company has a plan it is executing ''despite all the stuff that's happened to us.'' Stuff, in this case, being the turbulence that has engulfed Yahoo since Microsoft made an unsolicited takeover bid in January. But for many shareholders, the idea that Mr. Yang and his team are changing Yahoo for the better is little more than an illusion. PAGE 1

WHEN SMALLER IS BETTER

Companies that not so long ago could not wait to get -- or stay -- big are rediscovering the charms of thinking small. As Seth Godin, a prolific blogger and author, put it with the title of his 2006 book, ''Small Is the New Big.'' PAGE 4

THE MAGAZINE

THE LAST BATTLE

Shapes Up in Iraq

The fight between the Shiites and the Sunnis in Iraq seems to be quieting down. But the Shiites still have one fight left -- among themselves. PAGE 34

ARTS & LEISURE

THE POWER OF MAO

And the King of Pop Art

Andy Warhol loved China. He loved that everyone there dressed alike. He loved that the Great Wall -- the world's biggest Private Property: Do Not Enter sign -- was in a Communist country. He loved that Mao Zedong, whose face he had painted because Life magazine called Mao the most famous man in the world, was, in 1982, still a superstar. China was Pop. And it still is, Holland Cotter writes. PAGE 1

WHOA...SERIOUSLY?

If you were trying to select the appropriate personnel to refurbish that perpetually half-baked genre the Hollywood stoner comedy, you might ask Judd Apatow, the current king of schlubby humor, to serve as producer. But David Gordon Green, who for 10 years has been making the kind of small independent movies that play in art houses, in the director's chair? ''Pure amusement,'' Mr. Green said of his decision to direct ''Pineapple Express.'' PAGE 1

AUTOMOBILES

FILLING A BASEMENT

With Car Show Trophies

Steve Silverstein has owned a number of classic cars, including a 1966 Ford Thunderbird, a 1968 Dodge Charger and a 1977 Corvette. At car shows, somebody else always seemed to have a better one: his cars didn't win trophies. But that changed when he got his 1975 Sterling GT, part sports car and part circus act. PAGE 1 (Page 11 in Sunday Business in some copies)

WEEK IN REVIEW

MAKING THE ROUNDS,

Despite Being Snubbed

Bishop Gene Robinson may be the only Anglican bishop (except those disgraced for disputed legitimacy, malfeasance or criminality) ever to be told that there was no seat for him at the Lambeth Conference in Canterbury, the once-a-decade assembly that brings together the leaders of Anglicans worldwide. But that doesn't mean he hasn't been one of the busiest prelates in town. PAGE 3

Editorial

BANKS AND PRIVATE EQUITY

Some private equity firms say they are ready to invest huge sums of money in ailing banks, provided the Federal Reserve eases certain regulations. The Fed -- which must know that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is -- has yet to say no. It should. WEEK IN REVIEW, PAGE 9

Op-Ed

THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

In the Arctic Circle, at one of the world's most isolated research stations, scientists are drilling for clues about climate change in the ice of eras long past. WEEK IN REVIEW, PAGE 11

MAUREEN DOWD

How can Mr. Obama be having any problems with women when he's a dead ringer for the ultimate romantic hero, Mr. Darcy? WEEK IN REVIEW, PAGE 10

PUBLIC EDITOR

A recent Times article about a photographer in Iraq who was barred from covering the Marines after he posted graphic pictures of dead Americans and Iraqis on his Web site, highlights a longstanding tension between journalists who feel a duty to report war in all its aspects, including violent death, and a military determined to protect its own and their families at moments of extreme pain and crisis. WEEK IN REVIEW, PAGE 10

DEFEAT YOUR OPPONENTS. THEN HIRE THEM.

Barack Obama has applauded Abraham Lincoln's decision to bring his three main rivals for the Republican nomination into his cabinet. In an Op-Ed article, historian Doris Kearns Goodwin asks, ''Could a president really create a team of rivals today, and would that team actually be able to get anything done?''
