...Wonjin Worldwide already has seven plants in China, but Yoon says further expansion there is unlikely because costs are going up and China doesn't need more investment from foreign companies, which compete with the country's increasingly capable domestic firms. "They needed foreigners for the technology," notes Yoon, "but now they have the technology necessary to process natural resources themselves." North Korea, on the other hand, is virgin economic territory desperate for capital. "They need to repair the railroads and roads, as well as container berths at the port.

...Khan Massoudi, his staff, and a small group of concerned archeologists and politicians. In 1988, they secretly moved the highlights of the collection to a vault in the Central Bank at the presidential palace. Massoudi, who risked his life to preserve his country's cultural heritage, was one of seven men who had keys to the vault.

...Green Zone, that weird gated community divided and subdivided into ever more impregnable subsections, has ever more checkpoints. I counted about seven on my way to the press center; there used to be only two. Everything is permissions and clearances; passes and badges of various colors and sizes. And what is clear is that the closer and higher you are to the U.S. military the easier you move, the smoother you glide through to the beast's belly: the U.S. embassy. It is the tackiest, strangest circus attraction this side of Vegas. A Starbucks-like coffee shop with baristas from...
