...North Korea have reached a deal that should resolve the conflict between the two countries over Pyongyang's nuclear program. Robert L. Gallucci, the chief American negotiator, said a draft would be sent to both capitals for approval from lawmakers, and a final document will probably be signed in Geneva on Friday. News of the accord was an abrupt reversal from just yesterday, when talks between the two countries were cut off. No details of the accord were available, but it's likely to build on provisions reached earlier: North Korea will offer to open its nuclear facilities to international...

They are about the same age (Gingrich, at 51, is three years older). Both own classic Ford Mustangs.

Powell has been equally coy about elective politics. A Republican draft- Powell-in-1996 committee has signed up 20 state and 10 regional coordinators and begun raising money. But the general has had no contact with the group, and in fact has never declared himself a Republican -- or a Democrat. He helped to shape Republican foreign and military policy during the Reagan and Bush administrations, but friends say his views on civil rights and social issues may be too Democratic to reconcile with a right-leaning G.O.P...
