...brings is an opener, "Sabali," so light and giddy that no translation is required to get that Mariam is whisper-singing about love. The swirling keyboards and gradually rising dance beat are pure '80s pop, sweeter than cheap champagne--but with soul; it's like a Cyndi Lauper tune sung by Vera Hall...
...lyrics tend toward uncontroversial declarations like "Hypocrisy in politics, it's not good/ We don't want any." (It's possible the lyric sheet was simplified in the translation from Bambara and French; it's also possible they're just casual lyricists.)

...figure emerging now, Seoul-based North Korea analysts believe, is Kim's brother-in-law Chang Sung-taek. Chang is close to North Korea's politically powerful military - he has two brothers who are generals. If anything, analysts believe, the military's influence has increased in recent months. The problem with that, for both Obama and the rest of the outside world, is that there is little to no evidence that North Korea's generals want to make a deal on their nuclear program - now, later or ever. The best way they could signal that point would be to launch...
