North Korea continues to dominate the headlines as its leader, Kim Jong Un, and President Trump trade barbs amidst growing concerns about Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programs and the heightening risk of escalation on the Korean Peninsula. While the United States has articulated a policy of “maximum pressure and engagement,” the Trump administration has repeatedly sent mixed signals, ranging from threats to “totally destroy” North Korea to an emphasis on diplomatic resolution. In order to devise a credible and coherent strategy that mitigates risk of strategic miscalculation, several important questions must be answered. Who is Kim Jong Un and what drives his decision making? To what extent can past policies toward North Korea inform our current approach? Are there historical lessons that can be drawn from other international crises and scenarios?
On October 10, the Center for East Asia Policy Studies and the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings hosted leading U.S. experts and former officials to identify actionable policy steps the White House and Congress should take to address the growing threat from North Korea. Panel presentations focused on Kim Jong Un’s outlook and objectives, the history of negotiations with North Korea, and comparative case studies, including the Berlin Crisis of 1961, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and recent negotiations with Iran. Former Deputy National Security Advisor Avril Haines delivered a keynote address, sharing insights from her experiences and offered thoughts on the path forward for dealing with North Korea.

And then there were the times that Adrian’s welcomed patrons for the occasional readings of high-toned erotica over chicken tostadas, according to a May 1995 Baltimore Sun story exhumed this morning by the Daily Beast.
In the Sun story, Haines explained that she was hesitant about the concept at first, “believing the works were more akin to pornography than art” — but she reconsidered after reviewing the literature and realizing “what she had been buying often fell into that category,” including well-regarded authors like Milan Kundera and Isabel Allende.
“We were terrified who might show up,” she told the paper. “We thought it would be a bunch of dirty old men.” Instead they drew a benign group of young hipsters and middle-aged suburbanites. “Erotica has become more prevalent because people are trying to have sex without having sex,” Haines explained. “Others are trying to find new fantasies to make their monogamous relationships more satisfying.”
