...California lately. But it's true that Roh frequently deviates from South Korea's political script. A liberal former lawmaker and human-rights lawyer, he won last December's election by pitching himself to young Koreans as the sole candidate who could clean up dirty-money politics, stop a drift to war between the U.S. and North Korea over the Stalinist regime's nuclear ambitions, and whip the South's reform-averse industrial conglomerates into shape...
...shelves. Fully 25% of all meals are now consumed in restaurants, and of those eaten at home, two-thirds are either prepared entrees or restaurant takeout. With all that, Big Food has had to become Big Science. Companies that want to stay in the game can't afford to drift along with the same product line year after year until someone in R. and D. dreams up another Pop-Tarts or Pringles.

...insists that Lakhani is a "significant international arms dealer," but the degree of his apparent gullibility (wouldn't an arms kingpin have known something about suppliers and fake weapons, or at least become suspicious about last-minute negotiators?) immediately led to speculation that the bureau had used a drift net to catch a minnow. Indeed, there is no evidence tying Lakhani to any terrorist group (though he did refer to Americans as "bastards" on an FBI tape), nor is there anything to explain why a man who until three years ago owned a clothing business would have been interested...
