...scuttle this launch at the negotiating table. They've done it before. Pyongyang agreed to abandon plans to convert nuclear-reactor fuel into nuclear weaponry when the U.S. and Japan agreed to pay for oil imports and build two new reactors. And South Korea's President Kim Dae Jung has embarked on a policy of engagement, offering food and investment from South Korean companies. As thanks, North Korea has sent fishing boats into South Korean waters and provoked a naval clash (Seoul's forces sank one ship), dispatched a suspected spy vessel into Japan's seas (Japanese self-defense forces...
Ellison (who had tried both music and painting as careers) did not introduce modernism to his chosen art form as Ellington did. Rather, he introduced black music to literary modernism, creating in his first novel, Invisible Man, a symphony of magisterial jazz riffs centered on Carl Jung's claims that "the Negro...lives within [the American's] skin, subconsciously," and on the firm belief, shared with Bearden and Ellington, that it is the self--the black self, however buffeted by racism--that is the ultimate repository of one's fate.

...meetings of the Oxford Group, an evangelical society founded in Britain by Pennsylvania Frank Buchman. And as Wilson underwent a barbiturate-and-belladonna cure called "purge and puke," which was state-of-the-art alcoholism treatment at the time, his brain spun with phrases from Oxford Group meetings, Carl Jung and William James' Varieties of Religious Experience, which he read in the hospital.

He stood in the lobby of the Mayflower Hotel, entranced by the sounds of the bar across...
...South Korean President Kim Dae Jung, the crisis has also created an opportunity. Since taking office a year ago, Kim has launched one of the most ambitious economic makeovers any country has ever attempted. His aim is to transform a system built on debt, endless expansion and limitless export markets for industrial goods and consumer durables into a globally competitive economy that is as nimble as the rapidly changing marketplace demands. To make it work, he has placed his bets on creating a flexible, U.S.-style labor market in which companies are free to hire and fire as they please...
...country where everybody from workers to executives took job security for granted. President Kim's policies are pushing up unemployment, at least for the short term. The government prediction of 9% unemployment this year is stunning in a country used to levels closer to 2%. Kim Jung Mi, 30, was fired without notice last June from her sales job at a small Seoul bookstore. In a country where women occupy few positions in the top levels of business, they are often the first to get the ax when restructuring starts. As a never married mother, Kim had a tough life...
