...Today, Namsan's 1,000-odd steps are as frequented by Spandex-clad runners as by lapdog-toting ajumas, older Korean women, and retired gentlemen with their newspapers. From the summit of Namsan the megalopolis of Seoul sprawls before you. The historic part of town, with its complex of royal palaces, lies at the mountain's base just to the north, while to the south the Han River glitters on its way to the port of Incheon and the Yellow Sea. And just below, nestled in a sea of greenery, is a reminder of South Korea's unenviable honor...

Through the eyes of 15-year-old Matapari, we get a naïve, Candide-like account of Congolese politics, especially from Matapari’s impressions of his Uncle Boula Boula, the lapdog extraordinaire of the regime-of-the-moment. During a visit from the “President” (actually a Communist dictator) and his officials, Matapari remarks, “What struck me most during the visit of these ambassadors of the Man-Always-Proven-Right-by-History was Uncle...
Roberts insists she is a patriot--a freedom fighter, not a lapdog--even though she has a Gore-Lieberman bumper sticker on her car. "The freedom that we have to be able to speak our minds--and the vote is part of speaking our minds--is what makes us a great country," she says. Privately, however, she has told friends that the current uproar probably means she will have to give up her dream of being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives...
