...draws us a map, and we set out past construction crews, who help point us in the right direction. Mr. Truong wants to stay on the main highway, but we veer onto a smaller branch of the old trail. This remnant is still in use, big enough for a car-or, in today's case, several motorbikes, an oxcart and a flock of ducks. There's no jungle here, just flat earth and rice fields. When we reach the landmark of Dong Loc Junction, we see why: in a small museum is a photo of the same road taken...

The xenophobic leader can veer from aggressive hostility to quiet bids to mend relations with the outside world, particularly if other nations help leapfrog his poverty-stricken people into the modern era. Like his father, when Kim has been most desperate for foreign aid, he has used the rattle of nukes to frighten the U.S. and its allies into buying...
