"Everybody gave us a different story on which house was his, so they were well versed in not giving a straight story," an intelligence officer concludes...

And localized catastrophes, such as the mudslides and floods in the U.S. last week or even the Iranian earthquake of 2003, are usually too parochial in their victimization to catch the attention of all humanity.

...nuclear weapons program. Pyongyang had pulled out of negotiations with the U.S., China, South Korea, Japan and Russia last August, citing a "hostile" U.S. attitude; this time, said delegation leader Republican Curt Weldon, talks could resume in "weeks, not months or years." But, as Weldon conceded, there's a catch: before they come back to the table, the North Koreans want to know the make-up of the new Bush administration and want Washington to stop making "negative" comments about their regime.
