...Democrats’ operetta. Last week, President Bush vetoed a bill to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Plan (SCHIP) by $35 billion over five years.

Kim also appeared - to put it charitably - a little distant in Roh's company, a stark contrast to the first summit seven years ago when Kim Jong Il welcomed former president Kim Dae Jung wholeheartedly. "Roh definitely got a less emotional reception," says Paik Hak Soon, a North Korea analyst at the Sejong Institute...
