  Press Briefing by Press Secretary Tony Snow
SNOW: Well, again, President Roh first took issue with the characterization that they're "not participating" -- I think the term was "not fully participating" -- and within the political constraints he faces, he is trying to do what he can and shares the goals.
SNOW: Well, David, what he is saying is -- and it may even have been in your paper -- that some of the ways that have been characterized were not -- he did, in fact, indicate that there was some forward movement on the part of his government.
SNOW: Well, what I was describing to you, David, was the importance of having the South Koreans understand fully what our policies are, because -- there seems to have been some garbling in terms of the translation about how the President intends to proceed on this.

A snow (pronounced "snoo") or snaw, a two-masted merchant vessel of the 16th through the 19th centuries, the largest two-masted ship of her period, had a tonnage of up to around 1,000 tons.
Resembling a brig and primarily used as a merchant ship, the snow also saw war service.
Sometimes, instead of a trysail mast, snows carried a horse on the mainmast, with the luff of the trysail attached to it by rings.

 Tempest Tossed
You don't need a degree in chemistry to know this ship is an ecological disaster waiting to happen or a degree in literature to know it's also a mighty symbol of Harold Snow, the 59-year-old moral wreck trying to survive one last voyage.
In fact, through much of the book we can't tell exactly what scheme Snow and his ragtag crew are pursuing, as though the toxic gasses seeping from their ship are obscuring the edges of the plot, which makes it all the more unnerving.
What's clear is that Snow and his ferociously violent partner, Bracelin, have somehow incapacitated their captain and plan to dispose of their multimillion-dollar cargo in some shady corner of the world's chemical market that won't require too much documentation or delay.

 The secret sharers | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Snow felt some pity for the old man. There were two kinds of captains: working skippers and general managers, and he'd known some among the latter who never got out of their slippers for an entire voyage.
So when Snow approached Bracelin with his plan, Bracelin bit, not only because he wanted the result – ten million split three ways – but because he knew the plan was so audacious as to be unthinkable, particularly for a man like McFarland, who didn't have enough gray matter left to be suspicious.

But the ship resisted valiantly, and just when it appeared that the limit of her strength was being reached the huge floe that was pressing down upon us cracked across and so gave relief.
