A piece in the Workers’ Party Newspaper attacked the “ideological and cultural poisoning” caused by Western influences such as films, music, and language, admitting the country’s susceptibility to what they call “invisible enemies.” The article, which was reported by The Times, reads: “The imperialists’ moves for ideological and cultural poisoning are getting ever more vicious to disintegrate us from within by benumbing our people’s revolutionary consciousness. It continues: “Invisible enemies are more terrible than those we can see....

An unnamed Sinuiju city resident told RFA this week that North Koreans are not allowed to drink alcohol, “laugh or engage in leisure activities” during the mourning period that started Friday.

Earlier this month, the director of the anti-epidemic department of North Korea’s Central Emergency Anti-epidemic Headquarters, Pak Myong Su, told Agence-France-Press (AFP): “Not one single person [in North Korea] has been infected with the novel coronavirus in our country so far.” “We have carried out preemptive and scientific measures such as inspections and quarantine for all personnel entering our country and thoroughly disinfecting all goods, as well as closing borders and blocking sea and air lanes,” he told AFP at the time....

As a professional tour guide in Norway, I watched a tidal wave of cancellations come in as my industry sank due to world-wide lockdowns. Global travel restrictions, border closures and the economic recession made it impossible to operate my business. Within a few weeks of the nationwide lockdown last spring, more than 80 percent of my colleagues around the country were out of work. It was disorienting to suddenly leave the job that I loved and the small business I helped build, but the government asked non-essential businesses to close and workers to stay home for the greater good....

So why isn’t he playing like “The Man” for the Celtics? Tatum hasn’t been bad, per se. He made a nice contribution in Game 1 despite shooting poorly, setting a new record for most assists in an NBA Finals debut (13). And he led the Celtics with 28 points on 19 field goal attempts in Game 2. But there was at least some chatter before this series started that he could be the best player in the Finals....

One law at the federal level which is set to affect a large number of people is an end to surprise medical billing—a measure that is likely to prove popular across the nation.

In a few short months, life has gotten more complicated for Marc Andreessen–and we haven’t even mentioned the problem of what to do with that first $100 million. Andreessen is the 24-year-old uber-super-wunder whiz kid of cyberspace. His programming savvy has turned the Internet’s World Wide Web into an electronic playground that is revolutionizing information technology and the ever-growing global network of computers. The software company Andreessen co-founded last year, Netscape Communications, is already a brand-name marvel its pulsating teal trademark–an “N” looming against the planet–is ubiquitous, appearing whenever Netscape software is used to cruise the Web....

There. We feel better. Now for the good stuff. The preachiest book to make our cut is King Midas and the Golden Touch(Morrow. $16), but Charlotte Craft’s simple, elegant retelling doesn’t actually spell out a moral and K. Y. Craft’s pictures make gold look both butterily seductive and brazenly horrific. My Man Blue(Dial. $15.99), with pictures by Jerome Lagarrigue, sneaks in a bit of wisdom (it’s OK for African-American boys to cook and read), but mostly it’s the story of a kid and his mother’s boyfriend warming to each other....

He was later held in a Melbourne hotel for immigration detainees while the courts decided whether to allow him into the country....

As a black belt in judo, Putin knows this rule of combat–and politics: you are most vulnerable when you think you’ve got everything under control. On many fronts–from Kabul to Congress, from global trade talks to Florida recounts–Bush has added luster to the leaderly standing he acquired after September 11. Hollywood would veto some of the script as implausibly perfect. In the midst of dinner with Putin at the Texas ranch, Bush got word that American aid workers, former students at a nearby college, had been freed in Afghanistan....

Following their 3-1 win over Group A favourites Myanmar U22 on Monday, Malaysia U22 goalkeeper Haziq Nadzli has remarked that the win will surely make other teams take notice of the hosts’ strengths.
