...often do those statistics belong to a 6’8 hurler with athleticism fit for a basketball court as much as a baseball diamond and a four-pitch arsenal at his disposal...
...Bush Administration criticized the Clinton team for leaving us: freezing and monitoring the Yongbyon facilities without ensuring their complete dismantlement. In fact, we are actually worse off than when the Agreed Framework was signed, as North Korea has used the past five years of wrangling to expand its nuclear arsenal. Nonetheless, a deal is a deal, and better than no deal at all. Never mind that this week's agreement is silent on Pyongyang's uranium enrichment, an issue that precipitated the current crisis.

"That's an indication that the North Koreans are not going to be willing to give up their existing capabilities...
