...Originally conceived by publisher Kim Eoun Ho as a "book village" similar to Hay-on-Wye in Wales, Heyri has evolved to embrace the whole gamut of the arts since its reinvention began in 2001. Today, more than 70 artists, musicians, writers and cineasts?including director Park Chan Wook, winner of the Cannes Grand Prix 2004 for his film Old Boy?have settled in the 500,000-sq-m valley, 40 minutes north of Seoul. The community is still a work in progress (60 buildings have been completed and 20 are under construction), but tourists will find plenty...
...lived beneath a cloud of military tension. Now, a nearby cultural venture known as Heyri Art Valley (heyri.net) is trying to change that image by establishing the area as a mecca of arts tourism. Originally conceived by publisher Kim Eoun Ho as a "book village" similar to Hay-on-Wye in Wales, Heyri has evolved to embrace the whole gamut of the arts since its reinvention began in 2001.

...reservoir of goodwill between the men that should eventually bring them together to discuss ways to overcome the violence. Sharon has long treated Abbas, the first P.L.O. member he ever agreed to meet, with a level of respect he never showed Arafat. At peace talks in Wye River, Md., in 1998, Sharon refused to shake Arafat's hand and pointedly ignored him--but he chatted amicably with Abbas on a sun deck there. In 2003, Sharon invited Abbas to Jerusalem and stood alongside him and President George W. Bush at a summit in Aqaba, Jordan. "Their personalities are very similar...
...plenty of valid of criticism in foreign policy circles of his micromanaging of the peace process. Clinton allowed himself to be drawn in as the mediator of first resort, which diminished the gravity of his own interventions - witness the fact that the President spent almost a full week at Wye River in 1998 cajoling Yasser Arafat and Benjamin Netanyahu into a relatively minor set of agreements. It's also quite possible to make the case that Camp David brought on the moment of crisis by forcing both sides to finally confront their most intractable differences. But that occurred not because...
