...make it to the shore this summer, try the next best thing: an indoor water-park resort. To attract families, hotel-based water parks are bubbling up across the U.S. About 45 such parks operate in 14 states, and a dozen more are under construction. The craze began in Wisconsin Dells, Wis., in the mid-'90s. Once a summer hot spot, the Dells (located off I90/94) now attracts winter tourists to its 18 indoor water-park resorts.

Park is a senior research fellow at the Korea Institute for National Unification, a South Korean think tank devoted to bringing about the reunification of the two Koreas. In book-crammed offices on the outskirts of Seoul, 35 political scientists, economists and sociologists draft strategies by studying other cases of unification (such as Germany and Vietnam) and try to divine what shape the Koreas might take in a post...
