SEOUL, South Korea She isfacing impeachment and prosecu-tion over allegations of corruptionand influence-peddling. One ofher advisers is being likened toRasputin by a shrill South Koreannews media. Increasingly largecrowds of protesters have taken tothe streets, demanding her resig-nation.

President Park Geun-hye hasbeen paralyzed by a bizarre scan-dal and an escalating public back-lash that could make her the firstSouth Korean leader to be re-moved from office since her fa-

ther, the military dictator ParkChung-hee, was assassinated in1979.

But even as her approval ratingslips into the low single digits, Ms.Park has been defiant, meaningthat South Koreas worst politicalcrisis in decades is likely to dragon for months, leaving her conser-vative government distracted andin disarray while it grapples witha slowing economy and risinghousehold debt.

HAVANA When Fidel Castrorode victoriously into Havana onJan. 8, 1959, Juan Montes Torrerushed into the streets to cheer. Apoor, uneducated laborer from theeastern countryside of Cuba, hehad arrived in the capital a fewyears earlier and, like most of hisneighbors, could hardly believewhat was happening.

It was an emotional shock, Mr.Montes said. These beardedmen, poorly dressed they won!And on behalf of the lowerclasses!

Mr. Montes, who was 25 at the

time, stayed loyal to Mr. Castro,who died on Friday, from that mo-ment. The Castro revolution gavehim an education, a home, and ajob as a police officer who some-times guarded the comandantehimself.

But that allegiance slipped fromgeneration to generation in Mr.Montess family, and in Cuba as awhole. His sons views darkeneddecades ago, during tussles withthe Castro governments restric-tions. His teenage granddaughter,Rocio, has spent most of her youth

WASHINGTON President-elect Donald J. Trump said on Sun-day that he had fallen short in thepopular vote in the general elec-tion only because millions of peo-ple had voted illegally, leveling thebaseless claim as part of a daylongstorm of Twitter posts voicing an-ger about a three-state recountpush.

In addition to winning theElectoral College in a landslide, Iwon the popular vote if you deductthe millions of people who voted il-legally, Mr. Trump wrote Sundayafternoon.

The series of posts came oneday after Hillary Clintons cam-paign said it would participate in arecount effort being undertakenin Wisconsin, and potentially insimilar pushes in Michigan andPennsylvania, by Jill Stein, whowas the Green Party candidate.Mr. Trumps statements revivedclaims he made during the cam-paign, as polls suggested he waslosing to Mrs. Clinton, about arigged and corrupt system.

The Twitter outburst also cameas Mr. Trump is laboring to fill cru-cial positions in his cabinet, withhis advisers enmeshed in a riftover whom he should select assecretary of state. On Sundaymorning, Kellyanne Conway, a topadviser, extended a public cam-paign to undermine one contend-er, Mitt Romney a remarkabledisplay by a member of a presi-dent-elects team. In television ap-pearances, she accused Mr. Rom-ney of having gone out of his wayto hurt Mr. Trump during the Re-publican primary contests.

Claims of wide-scale voterfraud have been advanced foryears by Republicans, though vir-tually no evidence of such impro-prieties has been discovered es-pecially on the scale of millionsthat Mr. Trump claimed.

Late on Sunday, again withoutproviding evidence, he referred ina Twitter post to serious voterfraud in Virginia, New Hampshireand California.

A day earlier, Mr. Trumps tran-sition team ridiculed the idea thatrecounts were needed. This is ascam by the Green Party for anelection that has already beenconceded, it said in a statement,and the results of this election

U.S. Expands War

When Julia Jones arrived at her office inSanta Monica at 8 a.m. by Hollywoodscreenwriter standards, the crack of dawn she found Stephen K. Bannon already at hisdesk, which was cluttered with takeout cof-fees. They were co-writers on a Ronald Rea-gan documentary, but Mr. Bannon had prettymuch taken it over. He had been at work forhours, he told her, writing feverishly about hispolitical hero.

Today, with Donald J. Trump, whose elec-tion Mr. Bannon helped engineer, on thethreshold of power, the 2004 film In the Faceof Evil has a prophetic ring. Its trailer has anover-the-top, apocalyptic feel: lurid footage ofbombs dropping on cities alternating withgrainy clips of Reagan speeches, as a choirprovides a soaring soundtrack. The message:Only one man was up to the challenge posedby looming domestic and global threats.

A man with a vision, the trailer says. Anoutsider, a radical with extreme views.

The Reagan presidency has been a recur-ring touchstone for Mr. Bannon since 1980,when as a 26-year-old Navy officer he talked

his way into Mr. Reagans election night cele-bration. It was at an early screening of In theFace of Evil that he met fellow Reagan admir-er Andrew Breitbart, the budding conserva-tive media provocateur.

Breitbart.coms scorn for Muslims, immi-grants and black activists drew a fervent fol-lowing on the alt-right, an extremist fringe ofmessage boards and online magazines popu-lar with white supremacists, and after Mr.Bannon took control of the website in 2012, hebuilt a raucous coalition of the discontented.

More quietly, Mr. Bannon systematicallycourted a series of politicians, especially thosewho share his dark, populist worldview: athome, a corrupt ruling class preying on work-ing Americans; globally, the Judeo-ChristianWest in a war against Islamic fascism.They were views that placed him closer to t
