...North Korea's plutonium-producing reactor is up and running again, or something even more dramatic - like a missile test. But in this risky game, any miscalculation could have disastrous consequences. Says one Western diplomat: "There is a risk someone will make a mistake somewhere along the line." - By Kim Yooseung/Seoul...
Henrik Rehr's "Tuesday" (Kim-Rehr Productions; 24pp.; $2.95 each) is a two-issue series that recounts the author's experience of September 11, 2001. Living with his wife and two young sons in the Battery Park City complex of apartment buildings that were mere blocks from the catastrophe, his story gives a first-hand account of the chaos visited on lower Manhattan that day.

Youthful South Koreans like Lee favor this approach. "They are rejecting the Cold War mentality and deliberately setting out on a new course," says Kim Kyung Won, former South Korean ambassador...
...fact, South Korea's President-elect, Roh Moo Hyun, has made it clear the country will continue to pursue peaceful reunification with the North?another round of ongoing reunification talks are scheduled to be held this week. Simply put, the South does not perceive Kim Jong Il to be as dangerous or unreasonable as the U.S. does. In fact, many South Koreans view America as the aggressor?Bush's inclusion of North Korea in his "axis of evil" was tantamount to telling Kim Jong Il his days as dictator, like Saddam Hussein's, are numbered. That echoes North Korea...
