...they thought. In their haste, the North Korean censors missed a 1984 photo taken in Wonsan on the country's east coast. At first glance, it is an innocuous family snap of Jenkins with his wife Hitomi Soga and their first daughter Mika during a rare trip to the beach. But at the left of the frame, another sunbather is visible. Jenkins has identified the woman as Anocha Panjoy, a Thai citizen he says was abducted by North Korea in 1978. If true, it would represent the first verified case of state kidnapping by North Korea of someone from...
...rose? When I first visited Spain, even to speak in hushed tones in a bar about royal succession, homosexuality or statutes would have been dangerous. If you didn't want the Guardia Civil on your neck - as once happened to me for lighting a small fire on a secluded beach to cook a fish - you kept talk to toros, the failings of the national football team ? and pass the sangria.

After the U.S.S.R. invaded, its army dug in near the seventh hole, and the course became a battlefield, with mujahedin fighters attacking from the hills above. The Soviets arrested the local pro, Mohammed Afzal Abdul, for being a U.S. spy; his interrogators said it was because golf was such a capitalist, bourgeois sport. After fleeing to Pakistan, Afzal returned to Kabul shortly before the Taliban seized...
...oils of any kind" is almost impossible to follow. Nearly all snack foods, especially packaged cakes and cookies, contain those harmful oils. Scientists should try to find an alternative to them as quickly as possible. People need to know just how bad that stuff is. David R. Laden Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S. I don't believe the body and mind start to deteriorate after age 60. I maintain that we remain what we deeply believe we are, physically and mentally. On Nov. 15, I will be 89 years old. I am in excellent health, swim...
