Ma has collaborated with musicians for the soundtrack of Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and even on the recording of an Andre Previn composition, with lyrics by Toni Morrison, sung by soprano Sylvia McNair and accompanied by Previn as pianist...

Since his accession to power on the death of his father Kim Il Sung, in 1994, Kim Jong Il has shown that an economic basket case of a state, which at times has been unable to feed its people, and which is brutally authoritarian, can still manage to keep the great powers off balance--so long as it has, or plausibly threatens to have, nuclear...
