Some half a million people were forced to flee inland last week, as the 400-mile-wide storm--mammoth in size even by hurricane standards--swirled toward Cape Fear, N.C.

Kim Jong Il, soon to be installed as president, has a nice firework for his inauguration. And North Korea's starving millions -- well, they get the satisfaction of seeing their nation trying to establish itself as a regional power...
