...European Union in Pyongyang this month, officials from the North didn't have a clear plan. "They didn't ask us to help in a transition to a market economy," said a European diplomat who attended. "They barely participated. There was no debate." The country desperately needs to rebuild its economy. But any liberalization could lead to a loss of the absolute political control enjoyed by Kim. The dilemma is evident during a visit to the Kumsung Educational Institute. Boys recruited from around the country are learning English and computer skills beneath portraits of Kim and his father, state founder...

A society that promotes dependence on government to always get it out of difficulties has only itself to blame. The problems...

Seven victims of Hurricane Katrina, who have been living at nearby Air Force Base Camp Otis, watched a capella groups like the Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones and dancers from TAPS, among others, perform in Sanders Theatre to raise money to rebuild their home. The seven evacuees had been bused to Harvard through the Phillips Brooks House Association, where they attended a reception with student leaders and University administrators before the concert. Kuumba President Michael L. Vinson ’07, who led the benefit effort, said that one woman bought dress...
