North Korean Woes
April 12, 2013 - War News
I wish I had a telephone hotline to Jack Kinsella. Wouldn't that be cool? I'd have loved his feedback. We could have gone through the past few weeks' news clippings and he'd clue me in by asking all the right questions. Jack might ask, for example, ''What do you think it really means when China conducts live-fire drills in a region near the North Korean border?''

January 27, 2005 - War News
