...over the first two years Pae grew more comfortable, his parents, or at least his mother Okbun Pae, grew less so. It seemed as if the values they had instilled in their son--to set goals, accept responsibility for your actions, keep your promises--were driving him closer to danger in a war they didn't understand. His mother cried when she saw a newspaper photo of soldiers sleeping in a ditch they dug for themselves during the initial push into Iraq. Pae made light of it--"They looked comfortable to me, Mom." But to this day, her worrying abides...
...Brian Burton's life was turned upside down by a joke. As a composer-producer-DJ working under the name Danger Mouse (often in a mouse costume to ease his stage fright), Burton had a solid career on music's experimental fringe when it hit him: mix the Beatles' White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album, and you get a gray album.

After years of regarding North Koreans as bitter enemies, the prosperous, democratic South now holds a benign view of the hunger-wracked police state. To southerners, North Koreans may be brothers from another planet (as the International Crisis Group...
With three of Harvard’s top four singles players all trailing their matches, the Crimson was in danger of being upset in the first round for the second year in a row. Durkin, however, stepped up to send Harvard into the next round. With the first set locked at four, Durkin broke Dent’s serve and then held her own serve to close out a tight 6-4 win. After Dent went ahead in the second set, 4-3, Durkin reeled off wins in three straight games, breaking Dent’s serve twice...
