...Going NoKo Having myself tried to channel James Bond by crossing the DMZ into North Korea with a busload of South Korean tourists, I read Jenn Gearey's report with pleasure and a touch of nostalgia for the government minders, bugged hotel rooms, and forced deleting of photographs that made for a travel experience like no other [Jan. 14]. Hope seemed present: a "unification flag" flew outside our hotel and a KOREA AS ONE banner unfurled during an evening circus show drew the loudest applause of the night.

That will take money, but thanks to record oil prices, money is one thing Abu Dhabi does not lack. At the summit's opening conference, Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahaya announced that the government would channel an additional $15 billion to the Masdar Initiative.

...Lost Tomb of Jesus, made by Hollywood director James Cameron and Canadian investigative journalist Simcha Jacobovici, was shown only once on Discovery. Britain's Channel 4 canceled its own plans to air the documentary, which reexamines an archeological find from 1980 in which a crypt was found containing what were said to be the ossuaries of Joseph, Mary, Jesus, the son of Joseph, Mariamne (possibly Mary Magdalene, say the filmmakers) and Judah, son of Jesus. Given the highly explosive nature of its conclusion and its slapdash sleuthing, it was no surprise that the film was panned by some academics...
