...Reality Check "A Momentous Journey" is how the Phil's p.r. director Eric Latzky had called it in Beijing the day before the flight to Pyongyang. Immediately after the concert, he had seemed prescient. But momentous things sometimes last just a moment. This is still North Korea we're talking about. Kim Jong Il has run the place now for nearly 14 years. He has not, to date, shown himself to be an agent of change.

Hector’s reappraisal of his own impressions and assumptions about war was a persuasive cry for contemplation well after the house lights came back...
...suspected purse-snatcher in Bez Valley, shouting that it was men like him "who had killed Lucky Dube." On Monday, police announced they had arrested five people in connection with Dube's murder, and the country's newspapers pointed out the irony in his tragic death. In his eerily prescient 2001 song "Crime and Corruption," Dube demanded that the post-apartheid government protect its people from the surging crime wave...
