Pyongyang is a city built on a grand scale, where everything seems keyed to the country's heroic selfesteem. Broad avenues and vistas sweep toward tall monuments that honor the struggle for liberation and pay homage to President Kim Il Sung, whose name and image are everywhere. Even the stations of the subway system, which rivals Moscow's, have such exhortative names as "Rehabilitation" and "National Building" and bear huge frescoes of the President...
Garvin reflects the tensions that plague the company. Tall, blond, looking younger than his 57 years, he nonetheless seems put off balance by the schizoid demands of his position.

Then came the more solemn religious ceremony in a tapestry-draped 12th century...
...Lean and tall at 147-lbs., Simms, the man they called the Scorpion, baited the more stocky Ramos with stuff left leads and quick counter-punching jabs. Early in round two, Simms staggered his opponent repeatedly, but could but knock him out. The judges gave the local fighter a unanimous verdict by scores...
