...chartered Asiana Airlines 747 from Beijing as it bore down on Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, on Feb. 25 carrying the New York Philharmonic orchestra and 80 mostly U.S. journalists. For many of us, North Korea has long been as remote as the dark side of the moon, so we were more than eager to get a look at it. Television cameramen jostled for position in window seats to capture images of the brown, frozen landscape as it came into view below. Reporters took out small digital cameras, even as flight attendants tried to shoo people back to their...
...NASA-funded robot sub just tested in Wisconsin's Lake Mendota. The sub performed so well, it could be diving in Lake Bonney by year's end. It may also serve as a prototype for a mission to the icy oceans on Jupiter's moon Europa...

Partly, I've always assumed, that's because I'm a U.S. citizen, and we have been technically...

He said he had "misted up" at the playing of the U.S. national anthem in Pyongyang, and that the emotional power of the evening only grew from there. He was right. Several hard-bitten journalists, myself included, choked up at various points, and several orchestra members spoke of breaking down in the wings after leaving the stage as the audience continued to stand and applaud. U.S. diplomats, current and former, were euphoric. Donald Gregg, a former State Department...
