...five-day schedule for a recent tour to the D.P.R.K. (my second, the first being in 2007) was packed tight with sightseeing. On arrival in Pyongyang, our coach whisked us from the airport to the Arch of Triumph, an imposing stone monument commemorating domestic resistance to Japanese colonial rule in the first half of the 20th century. At 200 ft. (60 m) high, it is willfully more immense than the Parisian Arc de Triomphe on which it has been modeled. Around its base, the scene was almost as it was two years ago. The 10-lane boulevard cutting through...

Her foot had an opposable big toe for grasping tree limbs but lacked the flexibility that apes use to grab and scale tree trunks and vines ("Gorilla and chimp feet are almost like hands," says Lovejoy), nor did it have the arch that allowed Australopithecus and Homo to walk without lurching side to side.

At their best, which was often - he had a great hit rate - Safire columns were just tremendously good fun, full of wordplay, some of it groan-inducing, much of it sheer enjoyment. That is depressingly rare. Not for Safire the cloddish metaphors, arch constructions, one-sentence paragraphs and dreary wonkery that are the stock in trade of too many modern American columnists. He was of that generation of inky-fingered wretches who remember that it isn't a sin for journalism to entertain - indeed, that one way you can get across a point about which...

...utilitarian electronic droplets cascading through the background, coupled with a lack of emotion, flattens the piece. And though the vocals rise high in tone at some points, the volume remains fairly equalized.

This cycle of promise and disappointment, however, is broken when the sugarcoated elements collide with the newfound thematic darkness. Simple, major key guitar chords create upbeat melodies—but when paired with the chill of lyrics like “uncross...
