<div id="ygrps-yiv-300966745">Over strenuous objections from Japan, South Korea issued 2.25 million postage<br/>
stamps yesterday depicting some disputed rocks in the Sea of Japan that it calls<br/>
Tok Do.  The stamps sold out in a matter of hours.  Japan now threatens a stamp<br/>
of its own depicting the rocks, which it calls Takeshima.  The uninhabited<br/>
specks are also sometimes known as the Laincourt Rocks.<br/>
