Critics of the ongoing nuclear diplomacy immediately pounced, declaring that the U.S. was appeasing the North Korean dictatorship. "In effect it's the first act of the Obama presidency," says former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton. "We've given them pure gold [by removing them from the TWEA and State Sponsors of Terror lists] and in return they've given us a piece of paper, which we have no means of verifying." Skeptics don't believe that the North will come clean in the material handed over Thursday about its alleged uranium enrichment program. In late...
...final Friday of June, Kelly Collins will marry Paul Hilcoff at the Nashoba Valley Winery in Bolton, Mass. After the ceremony in an orchard, the 60 guests will retire to the vineyard's restaurant, where they'll have a full sit-down meal complemented by wine and beer made on-site.

But Administration officials insist they don't expect that to happen. They believe North Korea 3.0 - the "shame on you" policy - may pay off. "I doubt they're walking away," says one diplomat involved in the talks. Yes, they say, North Korea's obvious and serial proliferation is a huge problem. That...
