...built a new guitar out of Epiphone parts and called it the Log. He used it in his recordings for the next decade. After assembling a recording studio in his garage (total cost: $415), he produced such performers as Gene Austin, the Andrews Sisters and his pal and patron Bing Crosby. His work with White, Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, as well as some Les Paul Trio sides, can be found on Les Paul: The Trio's Complete Decca Recordings Plus...
...following the disputed presidential election. Its political influence within the regime has always far exceeded the actual army's, and it has increased exponentially since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected to office in 2005.

The U.S. and its partners in the six-party talks ratcheted up the North's isolation after its second nuclear test back in May. Even China, the North's principal patron, was dismayed by Pyongyang's behavior. Now, however, the Clinton visit arguably puts the onus of international diplomacy back on the Obama Administration, which came into office very much wanting to engage the North...
