(Who is stern-talking Oprah protege Dr. Phil, after all, but a more down-home John Ashcroft?) Hollywood's crime stories were neither uniformly authoritarian nor bleeding heart.

When Washington's only response was a stern rebuke and the cutting off of all food and energy aid from the U.S. and its allies to the starving communist nation, North Korea upped the stakes: This week Pyongyang announced that it planned to restart a nuclear power plant closed down under the 1994 agreement because it was producing weapons...
