South Korea's rise to the ranks of industrialized nations, symbolized by next week's opening of a science and technology exposition in Taejon, has been meteoric. But the road ahead is fraught with difficult choices. Many policy makers want the country to continue to focus on short-term development of technology to sell on the world market, but there is also a clear need to build a broader base for more basic long-term research.
