...months, Rice and other foreign ministers will gather in Beijing to assess whether both sides have lived up to their initial promises. If they have, Rice says she will meet face-to-face with her North Korean counterpart for the first time during Bush's presidency. That could set the stage for historic discussions about normalizing relations between two implacable enemies. Indeed, the Administration's rhetoric about seeking a sweeping solution to the North Korea nuclear quagmire-with regime change as one of its options-has faded.

Rice and other foreign ministers plan to meet in Beijing in two months to assess whether both sides have lived up to their initial promises. If they have, Rice says she will meet face to face with her North Korean counterpart for the first time during Bush's presidency.

Kessler made 15 saves in the game, while her counterpart, Colgate senior Brook Wheeler, recorded 31 stops on the school’s senior day to thwart a Crimson offense that outshot the Raiders, 32-18. Earlier in the year, Harvard, playing without its Olympians, just squeaked by Colgate in a 4-3 overtime win at home. The Raiders...
...Last month, Hill met in Berlin with his North Korean counterpart, Kim Kye Gwan, and the first signs of a possible thaw became apparent. Hill referred to "good signs" after the meeting, and now diplomats say they hope that at the current round of talks Pyongyang will agree to shut down its nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, which produces the basic fissile material it needs for the bomb. There is also talk that international inspectors may be allowed back into North Korea to visit Yongbyon and perhaps other nuclear sites. In return, the U.S. and its allies in the talks - China...
