...nothing to do with the economic climate at the moment because as we deploy the strategy it is going to be over a long duration of time. Right now people in our operations in China are helping us solve problems for people in North America that we think will help solve problems for people in Europe. Much of what we did in our supply chain is innovation we found out in Europe and brought into the U.S. Good things can happen anywhere in the world and we want to be engaged with as much of the world as we possibly...
...this is being in the right place at the right time and then knowing how to seize [the moment]. I am the least likely person to know how. It was completely out of character.

But it turns out that the 84-year-old despot was just slow off the mark in beginning the further strangulation...
...nostalgia for a life he never lived, for the intimate connection only humans enjoy. On his home VCR (a Betamax!), he plays and replays two numbers from the 1969 movie musical Hello, Dolly!: the brassy Put on Your Sunday Clothes and the ballad It Only Takes a Moment, which moves him with a closeup of a boy's hand holding a girl...
