...concluded a friendship pact with China that expressed opposition to missile defense before flying off to Genoa where he was all smiles with President Bush, this week saw Moscow combining the Rice visit with a 6,000-mile train trip to Moscow by North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il. It was a bizarre spectacle - Kim traveled across Russia's far east on a train that included 21 Japanese-made armored carriages, with darkened windows, and then emerged for Soviet-style welcomes dressed in a black smock with sunglasses and his bouffant hairdo.

Park Choong Il has escaped from North Korea. Again. This time he doesn't expect to be going back.

After opening at next month's nato summit in Brussels, he will warm up at the E.U summit in Göteborg, then step into the spotlight as host of July's G8 meeting in Genoa. Whatever happens, Il Cavaliere is unlikely to make as big a spectacle as he did when Italy hosted a U.N. conference on organized crime in Naples in 1994: with the world's most powerful leaders looking on, Berlusconi was served with papers putting him under formal investigation for charges of bribing tax inspectors...
