...styled herself ŕ la Marilyn Monroe and then, after fighting drug problems and ballooning, whittled herself down as a spokeswoman for TrimSpa diet supplements. According to her mother, she even invented her childhood, mythologizing her middle-class upbringing into a hardscrabble one, like Jay Gatsby in reverse.

Even more pointed was Beijing's subsequent agreement to reverse its long-standing opposition to U.N. sanctions on the North, albeit acquiescing to a version that the Chinese ensured was considerably watered down compared to the original U.S. draft...
