...other nemesis, America. I knew, though, that my perambulations would be tightly restricted by the North Korean government. Indeed, our itinerary proved to have been carefully pre-packaged. At the Grand People's Study House, a library overlooking Kim Il Sung Square with its giant portraits of Marx and Lenin, our North Korean hosts arranged a seminar on what life was like under the Japanese. In a lecture hall upstairs, the Japanese audience listened to Kwak Kum Nyo, 76, describe how she became a comfort woman at 16 when Japanese police ordered the manager of the silk factory where...

...recent cases the laws brought striking results. Banking regulators publicly reprimanded several Swiss banks?by name?for keeping accounts belonging to relatives of the former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha. And it was the Swiss in the autumn of 2000 who tipped off Peru that Vladimiro Lenin Montesinos Torres, the former head of Peruvian intelligence, had stashed away about $114 million in five Swiss accounts. Judicial authorities in Zurich blocked the accounts after the banks themselves reported their suspicions. The Swiss ambassador in Lima then informed the Peruvian government and urged it to open an international criminal investigation, with which Switzerland...

Except JLL sat on a piano stool. Sat at the beginning, anyway.

But Nick Tosches, Lewis' biographer, conjures it with an infernal eloquence I couldn't match...

...what Bycko says are "obvious" similarities between Warhol's prints and local eastern Orthodox church icons, or don't connect Warhol's famously reclusive personality with the ways of the suspicious natives. On display are more than 120 original prints and drawings, some of them - Cow, Shoes, Flowers, Red Lenin, Hammer and Sickle and Absolut Vodka - chosen to suit uncomplicated local tastes, Bycko says.

...there is a Penzion Andy across the street from the museum, itself on A. Warhola Street. A mineral water company has put Warhol's Red Lenin, Marilyn and Elvis on its labels. And a gallery called Endi (Andy written phonetically in Slovak) was opened by an occasional Warhol impersonator last year in a nearby village.
