Foster is a producer of inescapable songs, especially those ultraromantic ballads that seem to blare out of every boom box on the beach. They are sung by various performers, from stars like Whitney Houston to the new group All-4-One, but the songs all bear the unmistakable Foster touch: the soaring vocals, the lush arrangements dripping with strings and keyboards, the crescendos built on crescendos.

North Korea issued a highly unusual invitation to South Koreans to visit the normally isolated North for Kim Il Sung's funeral and then postponed the services for two days. As speculation rose about the succession of Kim Jong Il to power, South Korea said it would not relax its prohibitions of visits to the North. U.S. officials are expected to meet with a North Korean delegation in New York this week to discuss North Korea's nuclear program...
