 Halpin 2002s Symposium Paper
In this tale from traditional Korea, Spring Fragrance, a dazzling young girl from the wrong side of the tracks (due to the fact she was the offspring of a kisaeng, or local courtesan) falls for a handsome young scholar preparing for the national examinations to become a Confucian gentleman and court official.
One of Korean history's most tragic examples of this was the "rice-box prince." The relationship of the prince to his father involved two of the five Confucian ones: teacher to student and father to son.
Today in Korea one is hard-pressed to find a palace or Buddhist temple whose sign board does not bear the words "burned during the invasion of Hideyoshi." Still, one major city in the southern part of the country, the Southern Fortress at Chinju, held out against the Japanese onslaught.

North Korea may have targeted Hawaii to show the United States that it was capable of landing a missile there, or because it is home to the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific fleet, the paper said.
North Korea vowed to continue missile tests after yesterday’s firing of seven rockets, saying it doesn’t have to notify the U.S., Japan and other countries about launches that are part of its regular military training.
It’s possible that North Korea is poised to try something desperate, though I cling to the belief that Kim Jong Il can still be distracted from making some totally crazed decision by a perfect round of golf, or a screening of Scarface.
