...also evidently learned at the old man's side. His father was a masterly manipulator. The key to Kim senior's success was an iron will and a sense of who his friends were: China and Russia. But with those allies weakened by the end of the cold war, Kim junior has had to look elsewhere. At times since taking over the helm, he has seemed to live up to the worst Western images of him--such as when he "test- fired" a missile over Japan in 1998.

From the middle of the biggest and loudest group, Dave waved me over. He was surprisingly attractive and had a delicious smile, and his friends...
...above nonsense aside, the betting here is that Miller will do all right. He's a serious fan, an Iron City native who probably knows more about the Steelers than Terry Bradshaw, and has the poise and wit to make predecessor Boomer Esiason seem like, well, Boomer Esiason. Plus, he's a natural for the prized college-male demo...
