...just in case there was any good news. Mike's two young nephews, Christopher, 12, and Brandon, 7, attend St. Clare's School, a nearby Catholic day school connected to a church that has been burying firemen for months. The boys have heard the dirges of the pipe-and-drum corps from their desks; their classmates have served as altar boys. Mike's eldest brother, Robert, left Staten Island years ago, but the tragedy followed him: he works as a psychologist in the public schools of Middletown, N.J., the quiet bedroom community that buried 34 residents; six of his students...

Last month, a full-fledged Ranam campaign erupted with Kim praising the workers' heroic feat, predicting that it would vigorously beat the drum of revolution, and then unveiling what was described as a "grandiose plan" to develop North Korea into a superpower. According to the official press, North Koreans are so inspired by Ranam's factory that they are planning "uninterrupted miracles and feats in all fields." It sounds a lot like...
