Listen to Toronto's Paul Molitor, speaking in May to Sports Illustrated: "What are we supposed to do, forgo a strike because Junior ((Griffey))'s got 50 home runs on Sept...

Forgo it because there's pennant fever in 12 cities, and because this summer the field of dreams seems so sweet.

They argue that the regime and especially its unproved heir apparent, Kim Jong Il, view an atomic program as the trump card of their credibility and will not forgo it for anything. Other experts think Pyongyang might eventually give up its nuclear dream, but only in exchange for massive economic aid, a guarantee of Western support for Kim Jong Il's succession and a withdrawal of U.S. troops from the South -- concessions neither Seoul nor Washington will accept...
