Eliot ’10 and Allen Ginsberg and one of only two for-profit poetry-only stores in the country, would have to spend money changing all of their mailing labels and packaging, and it may at first lose customers who have trouble finding the street with a different name.

And increasingly, Kim Jong Il's government is being tag teamed by the U.S. and South Korea in international efforts to get Kim to dismantle his nuclear arms program. After a promising start to carrying out landmark denuclearization agreements signed by the North in 2007 - deals reached through the six-party talks involving North Korea, South Korea, the U.S., China, Russia and Japan - Pyongyang is no longer cooperating.
