Visiting North Korea is a surreal experience. Harried-looking traffic police clear up imaginary bottlenecks on the deserted streets of Pyongyang, while long lines of forlorn citizens wait patiently to be admitted to amusements parks that have long since been abandoned. Everywhere, pretense and illusion are the order of the day. Closed to the West for more than forty years, North Korea is an isolated and alien land. When Yi Sun-Kyung traveled there in the summer of 1994-the first Western journalist ever allowed in for an extended visit-she found a nation ruled by fear and a people yearning for unification with the South. This extraordinary memoir grew out of that unforgettable trip. But Inside the Hermit Kingdom is more than just a travelogue of a strange and foreign country. It is in fact the story of two journeys-the first a journey to a place seldom seen and only vaguely understood, the second a journey of self-discovery for the author. Born in South Korea in 1967, Sun-Kyung moved with her family to Canada when she was still a girl. 237p. plates Book
196895496Lincoln Nebraska October 26 1968. 1968. Fine. - Over 360 words typed on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide creamy white paper. Clayton Yeutter who later oversaw trade negotiations with Canada under Ronald Reagan thanks Spiro Agnew's chief of staff Arthur Sohmer for "the gracious invitation to visit you during my tenure at the Foreign Service Institute" though he declines since Sohmer will likely be very busy with his work for the Vice Presidential candidate in the final days of the Presidential campaign. Yeutter writes of having done some "farm policy work for Mr. Nixon" earlier and comments that the campaign appears to have a comfortable lead though he's concerned about the "Wallace movement" "We can do without a third party in this country and particularly without one that has the fascist trimmings of the American Freedom Party". Considering his later negotiations which brought about NAFTA it is interesting that Yeutter goes on to comment on how difficult it was to intensely study Spanish for 12 to 14 hours a day while at the FSI. Signed "Clayton". Folded horizontally and vertically for mailing else fine with the original mailing envelope bearing a Franklin D. Roosevelt U.S. postage stamp and with Sohmer's "Executive Department" address re-routed to his home. <p>The American lawyer Clayton Yeutter 1930-2017 was a farmer who served as the U.S. trade representative under Ronald Reagan.

With Samson's butterfly kite flat on the ground and her own kite soaring, Sharon thought of shouting, "Okay, Samson Wong, you big-mouth. Let's see you fly your wonderful kite. Big wings will do it every time, right?" But now that she had her chance to get even with Samson, Sharon didn't feel like fighting. She was happy just watching her kite pull into the clouds. For the first time in her life, Sharon had something Chinese that she was proud of and she was enjoying herself! [These stories offer] four closely-observed accounts of growing up in contemporary Vancouver's Chinatown, highlighting the joys and frustrations of growing up in two cultures simultaneously. Book
