...institutions shed some $440 billion in bad debt since the late 1990s and have been barely grazed by the subprime crisis, partly because they were reducing debt as western firms were taking on more and more. Now, the bargains available in the U.S. afford Japanese banks an opportunity to move beyond their mature home market. Japan's economy is the world's second-largest, but it is plagued by slow growth.

...real story of North Korea's leader can be hard to divine. Thus, Kim's life starts with his birth either in Siberia - where his father, North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, was in exile - or on Mount Paektu, the highest point on the Korean Peninsula. In an early move to quell expected resistance to his son's succession, Kim Il Sung designated the younger Kim as the next leader of North Korea in 1980.
