Another Cup tradition - engraving the names of players, coaches, and executives from each winning team on the trophy, which is now almost three feet tall, and weighs nearly 35 pounds - offers more opportunities for misadventure. With so many names, misspellings are inevitable. Still, it's pretty difficult to explain how the Toronto Maple Leaes, not Maple Leafs, won the 1963 championship, or how the New York Ilanders, not Islanders, took home the 1981 trophy.

She says he, on the other hand, “took a little bit more convincing.” “It’s not so much about the timing but about the person,” she said...
Little speaks more to what a freakishly closed society North Korea is than the scarcity of information about Jong Un, even among foreign intelligence agencies. Almost nothing was known about him until Fujimoto's book was published in 2003. Fujimoto is also the source for the only known photograph of Jong Un to circulate outside the North, a snapshot the chef took when the boy was about 11. He is the son of Kim Jong Il's third wife - reportedly his favorite - Ko Young Hee, a former dancer who died in 2004 from breast cancer. Ko was born in Japan...
