...Most famous was the demise of the Eastern Bloc and then the Soviet Union itself, which came on the heels of years of sustained U.S.-led international pressure. Another example is South Korea, where energetic bipartisan U.S. pressure peaked in 1987 when U.S. ambassador Jim Lilley hand delivered a letter from President Reagan urging against a crackdown on protesters. The advice was heeded. Two weeks later the protesters' demands were met, and Korean democracy was born...
...Australia by means of three characters: Mr. G, the school’s drama teacher; Jonah, a Tongan troublemaker; and Ja’mie, an exchange student from an all-girl private school. The setup sounds familiar, but all three characters are played by the same guy, Chris Lilley, who also writes the entire show.Lilley’s chameleon-like ability as a character actor is unmatched even by greats like Mike Meyers, and to say his roles are “well researched” is an understatement, as he truly becomes each of them.

...pelted by tennis balls and cruelly disparaging captions for five weeks worked wonders. In the epic match-up, Summers and his doubles partner, former FM co-chair Ben C.

The only way to counter it, he believes, is to take swift action both jointly and alone. Japan...

Lilley's son Jeffrey initiated the project more than five years ago to learn more about his father's idealistic, superachieving brother, Frank, who committed suicide at the age of 26 while posted in Japan as a detachment commander during the U.S. military occupation. A pacifist, Frank was crushed by the destruction he saw in Japan and felt conflicted by his belief that military might was America's way forward, which he expressed to his younger brother in a good-bye letter. Frank, a world-record swimmer...
