...have two good friends here who I may not see for a long time, if ever again. Da Eun is a recent graduate of Korea University—and the former bass guitarist of a rock band called Adrenaline.

A tour of towns north of the border shows just dependent South Ossetians are on the Russians, and how much this small region, ostensibly independent, has actually become a de facto Russian province.
