...North Korean newspaper says that the government will demand a new nuclear reactor as a condition of opening its nuclear program to international inspectors. If that deal flies, according to the government organ, Pyongyang will seek a "package deal" that includes full diplomatic ties. The talk may not be so tough, since the Clinton Administration quietly floated the nuke offer weeks ago. Even as relations with the North grew somewhat warmer, the U.S. had to reprimand the South. Assistant Secretary of State Robert Gallucci, the chief U.S. negotiator, slammed Seoul for rhetorical attacks on the North and for the wide...
Like the best movie actors, Hanks is a superb reactor. His theater-trained voice often breaks into gentlemanly whining. His fretful brow expresses perplexity -- a thoughtful "Huh?" And then, in the subtlest shift, comic exasperation plummets into agony. Hanks justified his Philadelphia Oscar in one early scene outside Denzel Washington's law office. With no more than a long, longing look, he registers the despair of a dying man who feels utterly bereft, unheard, dismissed. This lovely little revelation has an antecedent in Big, when the overgrown kid sits alone in a creepy hotel room and ponders his dreadful solitude...
...path was cleared by three promises from the North Koreans. In a letter to Washington they pledged they would not extract the plutonium -- enough for four or five atom bombs -- from the 8,000 fuel rods they removed from their nuclear reactor at Yongbyon earlier this month. They will not reload the 5-MW reactor with new fuel rods. And they will allow international inspectors to remain on duty to verify those promises. "This does not solve the problem," Clinton said, "but it certainly gives us the basis for seeking a solution." To pursue it, the two sides will...
...Administration is prepared to go back to serious talks -- if the North Koreans will first freeze their nuclear program. That means, explained Vice President Gore, they must not extract plutonium from the 8,000 fuel rods they have just removed from their 5-MW reactor at Yongbyon; they must not put new fuel rods into the reactor; they must keep the IAEA inspectors on duty "and allow them to function...
...sanctions campaign the U.S. formally launched last week was about the past rather than the future. Because Pyongyang extracted the fuel rods abruptly and made it impossible for inspectors to track the reactor's previous plutonium production, Washington is asking the U.N. Security Council to begin putting on pressure by banning North Korea's arms trade, along with an end to U.N. technical and scientific assistance. If Pyongyang continues to stonewall on inspections, the U.S. will push for tougher sanctions with a full ban on trade and financial dealings. But if the North Koreans meet Washington's requirements...
