...also promised aid, a light-water reactor and the possibility of normal relations in exchange for a guarantee from North Korea that it would mothball its nuclear weapons program. After a strategic review of that framework, however, the U.S. accused North Korea of carrying on a secret program to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons; North Korea then accused the U.S. of failing to live up to its end of the agreement, withdrew from international protocols and began to reprocess nuclear material in earnest.

Delerm, an avid Cure and Divine Comedy fan, doesn't write in English, instead appropriating a phrase here and there to enrich his lyrics. "What interests me is the impact of certain expressions, and I just haven't mastered the language enough to do that," he admits. But he does hope to bring his French songs to English audiences; there are a couple of U.K. concerts in the works in the coming...
