A career diplomat with years of experience in Asia, Bosworth, 69, is a former Ambassador to South Korea who led the effort to convince Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program in 1994 that resulted in the Agreed Framework treaty. Bosworth was dispatched Monday on his first mission to Asia; he is expected to discuss ways to best bring momentum to the deadlocked six-party talks on North...
