Korean masterpiece
Unlike just about every Korean, I had not heard of “Parasite” when I walked into the E Street Cinema in Washington a few weeks ago with every intention of seeing another film also being shown. Then I heard a person asking for tickets to “Parasite” and learned it was a highly rated, popular Korean film. In fact, it was so popular that showings on two screens in the cineplex we...

Female conductor from Seoul
Still making headlines in the final stage of the turbulent year of 2019 is bad news about increasing concerns over national security, stubborn economic debacles, intensifying left-right confrontation, choking fine dust blowing from China and the unilateral passage of next year's budget bill, to name a few.

Day after NATO
Day after NATO
Despite having been written off numerous times, NATO survives. But another fox has entered the hen house, and it has met with the typical European response to danger: furious cackling and an explosion of feathers.

Season for phony outrage and made-up controversies
Season for phony outrage and made-up controversies

Afghanistan: Taliban deal?
