Some of you know that the book we are teaching from in the Dean's Book Course this Fall is about North Korea. Well, in an all too timely way, things have definitely heated up in relation to North Korea and it is providing and unusually large volume of info and topics for presentations and discussion. Kim Jung Il, donning nuclear sunglasses, is even on the cover of Newsweek this week. This means I have been spending huge amounts of time reading updates and watching news so that I have half a clue about what is going on day to day.
One amazing thing is that this week, Diane Sawyer (ABC News) has been allowed into this isolated, closed country to report from there. So far she has posted two videos (and transcripts). They are available on line here. Take a look!
It is very unusual to get such an inside view -- even tho all her interactions are monitored and her government "translator" goes with her everywhere. Still, it is a pretty amazing peek.
