Looking at South-North rail service
The notion of opening rail service between South and North Korea is captivating. You have to hope that someday the dream will come true and trains will be hauling passengers and freight from South to North and back again as they should have been doing for many years.

Asking hard questions
It's fine to talk to the North Koreans about their nukes and missiles. Go ahead and tell them they're a threat to the world, the human race, to civilization. No problem. The North's stock retort, as we all know, is they're needed for self-defense against the Americans, who bombed the hell out of us in the Korean War.

Talking about summitry
Summitry is in the air. Excitement and speculation are rife. Everyone is talking about talking. How about talks between the leaders of the two Koreas, between each of them and the U.S. president, maybe a meeting of all three together?

All aboard for Pyongyang
WASHINGTON - Rail travel has a special fascination for me. My home in New Jersey was near the tracks of the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad, about 45 minutes from New York. I remember watching the trains roar by as a kid, counting the number of cars on the long freight trains with names of different railroad lines painted on the side, waving at people staring out the windows of the passenger trains. A lot of them waved back, leading me to wave longer, as if bidding farewell to friends and relatives.

Too busy for North Korea
NEW YORK - Controversy surrounding President Trump is so intense, you have to wonder whether he's going to want the job beyond his current four-year term. Surfing the morning news here, you get to listen to non-stop attacks from MSNBC on the left, equally hard-hitting defenses from Fox on the right - and not that much in between.

Okinawa's quest for peace
WASHINGTON - We hear so much about North Korea's secret bases that it's sometimes easy to forget the ruckus over U.S. bases in the region. They may not be secret, but they can be controversial.

Let's all get 'flexible'
Time now to return to North Korea, the topic having been all but forgotten during campaigning for congressional elections seen as testing President Donald Trump's grip on power.

Waging America's war
WASHINGTON - The news reports on the radio sounds like shots from a war zone. Someone killed in a shooting in a high school. A police officer killed by someone he was chasing. A civilian killed by a police officer.

Trump's moment of truth
WASHINGTON - In the furor over the murder of Saudi activist critic Jamal Khashoggi, headlines about North Korea and "denuclearization” have disappeared from front pages.

Courting dictators
WASHINGTON - Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, meet North Korea Chairman Kim Jong-un. These two have a lot in common. They're both in their early 30s. Both have almost unbridled power in their own kingdoms and ways of getting rid of their enemies.
