The United States is going through the<br />

five stages of grief over negotiations<br />

with North Korea.<br />

First came denial: that North Korea cheats so there is no point to<br />

negotiating, which denies that past deals did stop its fissile<br />

material production and missile tests for nearly a decade and that<br />

Pyongyang was not the only one to renege. So did Washington<br />

and Seoul,<br />

Next came anger: since North Korea was violating UN resolutions<br />

by continuing to test nuclear weapons and missiles, it should be<br />

punished with sanctions and isolation.<br />

Third has come bargaining: hopes that missile defense, cyber<br />

attacks or some other technological fix could somehow shield the<br />

United States and its allies from the threat. Those hopes have so<br />

far been in vain.<br />

Fourth came depression: the problem had no solution, which was<br />

summed up by characterizing North Korea as the land.<br />

Is now the time for acceptance: that negotiating is worth another<br />

try before it is too late?<br />

Time for talks?<br />

Candidate Donald Trump seemed to reach that conclusion during his<br />

election campaign. He first broached talking to North Korean leader<br />

Kim Jong Un on January 6, 2016, the very day North Korea conducted<br />

its fourth nuclear test.


"You have this madman over there who probably would use it,<br />

and nobody talks to him other than, of course, Dennis Rodman,"<br />

he told "Fox and Friends." "But nobody is talking to him<br />

whatsoever, and nobody is discussing it with China."<br />

Trump was more explicit on May 17. "Who the hell cares? I'll<br />

speak to anybody," he said. "There's a 10% or 20% chance I<br />

could talk him out of having his damn nukes, because who the<br />

hell wants him to have nukes?"<br />

In a campaign appearance on June 6, he disparaged experts'<br />

"qualms about bargaining with North Korea." To a master of<br />

"The Art of the Deal," that posed "no problems at all." Trump<br />

rebuffed critics, "They say 'we would never, ever, talk.' How<br />

foolish they are!"<br />

Deeds, not words<br />

President Trump backed up his words with deeds.<br />

After President Obama on January 19, his last full day in office,<br />

had authorized a token amount of US aid for North Korea for<br />

flood relief -- the first in five years -- the Trump administration<br />

made the gesture public on January 25.<br />

Trump kept creeping to the negotiating table. Despite North<br />

Korea's test-launch of a solid-fueled missile on February 12<br />

and the killing of Kim's estranged half-brother with VX nerve<br />

agent on February 13, his State Department issued visas -- the<br />

first in five years -- for a North Korean delegation to come to<br />

New York to meet with former officials. That outreach was<br />

abruptly reversed shortly thereafter.<br />

Will Trump try for talks again? Or will he revert to denial and<br />

try to outsource the problem to China, impose sanctions tough<br />

enough to compel the North to the negotiating table and commit<br />

to complete denuclearization upfront, wait for the regime to<br />

collapse, attempt cyber attacks, or risk a preventive<br />

war. Trump's policy review may examine those options.


All are fundamentally flawed.<br />

China did suspend its coal imports from North Korea for a year -<br />

- but only after it had already purchased its allowed quota under<br />

UN sanctions. Beijing may have anticipated that talks were in<br />

the offing and positioned itself to claim credit for coaxing<br />

Pyongyang to the negotiating table.<br />

Pyongyang has indicated it is open to talks -- but not to commit<br />

to complete denuclearization first. It may be willing to suspend<br />

its nuclear and missile programs only if Washington addresses<br />

its security concerns in return.<br />

Will tougher sanctions compel it to the table on US terms, even<br />

force it to collapse? Proponents say they will take time to work.<br />

How long? Two years? Five years? Ten years? In the meantime,<br />

how many nuclear and missile tests will the North carry out?<br />

How much fissile material will it make? How many ICBMs will it<br />

field?<br />

It could take three years or more for the North to develop its<br />

ICBM. Cyberwarfare could at best delay the inevitable -- if<br />

that. Contemplating preventive war could rupture US<br />

alliances in Asia.<br />

The only way out of Trump's predicament is acceptance -<br />

resume talks with North Korea, the sooner the better, to probe<br />

whether it is willing to suspend arming.


CLAUDIO BRAVO SAYS BARCELONA ARE 'MUCH<br />

BIGGER' THAN MANCHESTER CITY IN INTERVIEW<br />

Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has stated that his new<br />

club are not as big as former employers Barcelona.<br />

The Chile international made the switch from the Camp Nou to the<br />

Etihad Stadium in the summer, and he’s a key part of Pep<br />

Guardiola’s plan in Manchester. However, when asked to compare<br />

the two sides, Bravo admitted to TVN that in terms of size, he’d<br />

made a step down (h/t David Anderson of the Daily Mirror).<br />

“The two clubs are similar in terms of budget, but in terms of<br />

magnitude, Barcelona is much bigger,” he said.<br />

Bleacher Report UK suggested this wasn’t the best way to make a<br />

positive impression on his employers.<br />

In two years with Barcelona, Bravo developed a huge affinity with<br />

the supporters and was the man between the sticks as the<br />

Blaugrana secured back-to-back Primera Division titles. Bravo’s<br />

shot-stopping, anticipation and, crucially, his expert distribution<br />

from the base of the team was vital to their success.


At City, Bravo has had an inconsistent start, initially struggling to<br />

get to grips with the pace of the Premier League before showing<br />

some improvements in recent matches.<br />

Here's a look at how he’s fared in new surroundings compared to<br />

the man he replaced, Joe Hart.

Horoscope<br />

Aries<br />

Have you been feeling psychic lately, Aries? Has a recent dream<br />

or premonition come true? Any insights that you receive today<br />

aren't likely to be clothed in complex symbolism - they should be<br />

easily understood. Write them down! You will want to check them<br />

later. Some of what you sense might be a little disturbing, perhaps<br />

involving a public figure you admire. Be prepared!.<br />

Taurus:<br />

Today you might gather with some very smart friends at a coffee<br />

house for an intellectual conversation, Taurus. Some fascinating<br />

ideas and useful information could be exchanged. Much of what is<br />

said could inspire new creative projects. If it isn't too late, walk<br />

home and clear your head or sleep may be a bit elusive tonight!<br />

Gemini:<br />

A fabulous career break could come your way today, Gemini. It<br />

could be a raise, promotion, or even a new job in a new field. It<br />

could also involve a completely different location. The work you<br />

will be doing may be unlike anything you've ever done before, and<br />

that's a challenge. Don't worry! Change is necessary if you're to<br />

reach your maximum potential. Go with the flow.<br />

Cancer:<br />

An unexpected release of tension could come today, Cancer.<br />

Something that has been restricting you and limiting your growth is<br />

going to disappear, and you will want to run through the streets<br />

shouting. From here on out, certain desires that have eluded you


could start to manifest in your life. One of them could be a new<br />

romance. What else need be said?<br />

Leo:<br />

Some strange but wonderful things could be happening to you<br />

now, Leo. Sheer luck could well be in the picture. Have you<br />

wanted to move to a nicer place? If so, now you probably can.<br />

Have you been expecting a bonus or settlement? Today it could<br />

be yours! Even your dreams are apt to be vivid, powerful, and very<br />

beautiful. The only downside is if one of the events involves<br />

money, don't overspend!<br />

Virgo:<br />

A rather black mood that's been plaguing you since early morning<br />

could suddenly disappear when a business or romantic partner<br />

brings wonderful news your way, Virgo. It could involve a goal that<br />

finally manifests that you may have given up long ago. If so, you<br />

could feel a little overwhelmed. Take some time to sit still and let it<br />

sink in before celebrating Congratulations!<br />

Libra:<br />

If you've been concerned about your health for any reason, Libra,<br />

today your medical professional could give you a clean bill of<br />

health. You will believe it, because you're likely to feel wonderful.<br />

Stress has vanished, at least for now, and your energy and<br />

enthusiasm are higher than they've been for a long time. Enjoy<br />

yourself. Go out with some friends. You've earned it!<br />

Scorpio:<br />

Creative energies are flowing like a river today, Scorpio. Ideas for<br />

projects should come thick and fast. You can't wait to get started.<br />

You may even formulate plans to market them once they're done.


Love and romance should also be going well for you, as<br />

intellectual discussions could bring you and a current or potential<br />

love partner closer. Have a wonderful day and make the most of it!<br />

Sagittaurius:<br />

Dreams should shed light on some difficult issues you've been<br />

trying to resolve, Sagittarius. You can finally make the problems<br />

disappear. This should be more than a relief to you - it's a<br />

blessing! Your friends might want to take you out to celebrate, but<br />

you will probably want to sit home and enjoy your newfound<br />

contentment. Pour some wine, put on some favorite music, and<br />

relax! You've earned it!<br />

Capricorn:<br />

More than one call could come today with absolutely wonderful<br />

news! Exciting and wonderful changes are in the wind, Capricorn,<br />

but you need to bear in mind that with the good news comes the<br />

unknown. Your life may be turned upside down. Consider if you<br />

really want to stay in the same rut for the rest of your life. Gird your<br />

loins and look forward to an adventure!<br />

Aquarius:<br />

A sizable sum of money could come your way today, Aquarius,<br />

probably as a surprise. This is a significant day for you. The<br />

money will open up new doors, particularly where creativity is<br />

concerned, so the situation definitely calls for a celebration. Don't<br />

gamble or consider any kind frivolous of investment for at least two<br />

months. Treat yourself! You deserve it!<br />

Pisces:


Today you may wake up feeling energetic, enthusiastic, optimistic,<br />

and very happy, Pisces. You may not be able to trace this to<br />

anything logical, so don't even try. Make the most of what's<br />

happening and use that energy to create the life you want. You<br />

might feel like you can move mountains, but for now you'd better<br />

concentrate on molehills. Be conservative now and tackle the<br />

mountains later!<br />

Chelsea will only need 'a few additions' in the summer, says<br />

Ray Wilkins<br />

Antonio Conte, Chelsea´s trainer<br />

Chelsea will only need "a few additions" in the summer as they<br />

prepare to return to the Champions League again next season,<br />

says Ray Wilkins.<br />

Antonio Conte's side are 10 points clear of Tottenham at the top of<br />

the Premier League, and remain on course to win a league and<br />

cup double in the Italian's first season at the club.<br />

Wilkins, a former player and coach at Stamford Bridge, told<br />

Premier League Daily that he expects the Blues to clinch the title,<br />

but does not believe they need to alter the squad drastically if they<br />

are to potentially defend the Premier League and compete in<br />

Europe again next season.<br />

"They'll be delighted to be in that Champions League, they would<br />

have missed it immensely this season," Wilkins said.


"It really depends on Diego Costa, to a large degree, who they are<br />

going to get in to replace him if he decides to go to China, which<br />

has already been mooted this season.<br />

"It will be very interesting, I'm sure Antonio will have a few names<br />

up his sleeve that he would like to bring in. Defensively they have<br />

spoken about bringing added players in.<br />

"But at this moment in time they just need a few additions to keep<br />

themselves bubbling along - they are all young enough and they<br />

all look absolutely superb at the moment."<br />

Lewis Hamilton insists Ferrari are the<br />

favourites for new F1 season<br />

Lewis Hamilton<br />

But Vettel claims Mercedes are still in front while Hamilton remains wary of<br />

threat from Red Bull; Season-opening Australian GP starts at 6am on<br />

Sunday<br />

Lewis Hamilton has insisted Ferrari start the 2017 Formula 1<br />

season as favourites.<br />

Hamilton's Mercedes team have won three successive world<br />

championship doubles since 2014 but were consistently outpaced<br />

by the Scuderia in winter testing following the sport's rules refresh.<br />

"Ferrari are the quickest at the moment, they're definitely the<br />

favourites," said Hamilton ahead of this weekend's seasonopening<br />

Australian GP. "Their pace was great in testing."<br />

While testing is a notoriously unreliable indicator of the true<br />

pecking order heading into a new season, Mercedes and Ferrari


are thought to be closely matched at the front with the Scuderia<br />

possibly holding a slight advantage.<br />

"It is very clear who is the favourite," responded Sebastian Vettel.<br />

"We are trying our best to catch up."<br />

But speaking later to Sky F1, Hamilton maintained that Mercedes'<br />

fear they have been overtaken was genuine.<br />

"They were the quickest in testing, we couldn't match them," he<br />

said. "So when we get out there this weekend it'll be interesting to<br />

see where we've come from testing, what we've learnt and how we<br />

apply it, and really where we do stand.<br />

"It is unknown whether we're level, they're ahead, or they're<br />

behind."<br />

Red Bull surprised most observers during testing by introducing an<br />

unexpectedly-minimalist car and then ran inconspicuously during<br />

the eight days of action at Barcelona. But Hamilton remains wary<br />

of the team which dominated F1 before Mercedes claimed<br />

supremacy at the start of the sport's hybrid power era.<br />

"I'm very keen to see what Red Bull bring because they were quite<br />

a long way behind through testing - at least compared to Ferrari,"<br />

he said. "I assume they are bringing something here which I am<br />

excited to see."<br />

Stung by a series of backfiring overly-optimistic predictions in<br />

recent seasons, Ferrari have kept their public pronouncements to<br />

a minimum ahead of the new campaign. But the team's talking on<br />

track during pre-season testing offered a compelling hint they had<br />

caught Mercedes as Vettel and team-mate Kimi Raikkonen<br />

frequently appeared at the top of the timesheets.<br />

"Mercedes have been in very strong form over the last three years<br />

and even though we have changed the rules and regulations if a<br />

team is strong they will be strong the year after no matter what you<br />

do with the rules," said Vettel.<br />

Despite winning all-but one of the last seven championships,<br />

Vettel and Hamilton have rarely fought each other on track -<br />

neither has been runner-up to the other in any of their title-winning<br />

campaigns. But Ferrari's winter surge has apparently set the stage<br />

for an overdue battle between the three-time and four-time world<br />

champions.<br />

"I would love that and l think the fans would love to see that," said<br />

Hamilton.


If only Fernando Alonso could join in the fun too. The Spaniard,<br />

still considered by many to be the best driver in the sport, is facing<br />

up to another year on the periphery at McLaren with his absence<br />

at the front seemingly the only guarantee heading into the new<br />

season.<br />

"But we need this guy to have a good car so that he can get up<br />

there and fight with us," acknowledged Hamilton. "The sport needs<br />

that and he deserves that. You want to be racing against the best."<br />

In the meantime, the long-awaited fight between Hamilton and<br />

Vettel will just have to do.<br />

Best Sellers Books 2016<br />

Commonwealth<br />

BY ANN PATCHETT<br />

An illicit kiss at a christening wrecks two marriages in Los Angeles<br />

but blends the six children from different families. As we follow<br />

them over the next half century, their stories come into focus the<br />

way our own family legends cohere — from scraps of information<br />

and fractured memories. Patchett is daringly elliptical here, and<br />

her storytelling has never seemed more effortlessly graceful.<br />

We’re not so much told this history as allowed to eavesdrop from<br />

another room as a door swings open and closes. Even the most<br />

traumatic events — such as the death of one of the children —<br />

can be only partially known, thwarted as these characters are by<br />

invention, by gossip, by the deep emotional need to avoid the<br />

truth. This is minimalism that magically speaks volumes, further<br />

demonstration of the range Patchett demonstrated in “Bel Canto”<br />

and “State of Wonder.”


Evicted<br />

Poverty and Profit in the American City<br />

BY MATTHEW DESMOND<br />

“Evicted” immerses readers in the lives of families and individuals trapped in — or thriving off — the<br />

private-rental market for the poor, a brutal world in which landlords have all the power and tenants<br />

feel all the pain. In spare and beautiful prose, Desmond chronicles the economic and psychological<br />

devastation of substandard housing in America and the cascading misfortunes that come with losing<br />

one’s home. “If incarceration had come to define the lives of men from impoverished black<br />

neighborhoods, eviction was shaping the lives of women,” he writes. “Poor black men were locked<br />

up. Poor black women were locked out.” In this extraordinary feat of reporting and ethnography,<br />

Desmond has made it impossible ever again to consider poverty in the United States without<br />

tackling the central role of housing.<br />

The Gene<br />

An Intimate History<br />

BY SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE


Genetics has two histories: the history of what we have found out, and the history of the uses and<br />

abuses of those discoveries. In “The Gene,” Mukherjee explores the nature of this double narrative.<br />

He never loses sight of the tension between those who wish to understand genetics and those who<br />

wish to apply such emerging knowledge, but neither does he fall into the obvious trap of seeing the<br />

first category as good and the second as bad. Mukherjee contends that while genetic theories have<br />

provided crucial medical insights, they also have fueled the depraved thinking that reached its nadir<br />

in eugenics<br />

News of the World<br />

BY PAULETTE JILES<br />

Jiles has always been a terrific storyteller, and her latest tale moves at a characteristically brisk<br />

pace across post-Civil War Texas. The hero, septuagenarian Captain Kidd, earns a modest<br />

livelihood by reading aloud from newspapers and journals in public halls. But his latest job is to<br />

return 10-year-old Johanna to her aunt and uncle in San Antonio. Johanna has not seen them since<br />

a band of Kiowas killed her parents and took her captive four years earlier, and this fiercely<br />

magnificent child now has no memory of her white life; she doesn’t speak English, and she keeps


trying to run away. Every encounter Kidd and Johanna have on the trail between Wichita Falls and<br />

San Antonio seethes with the possibility of violence. In this tender novel, Jiles renders the pain of<br />

loss and the power of words for an old man and a young girl who really don’t belong anywhere<br />

anymore.<br />

The Return<br />

Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between<br />

BY HISHAM MATAR<br />

Hisham Matar was 19 in 1990 when his father, a prominent Libyan dissident, was seized in Cairo by<br />

Egyptian secret police and delivered to Libyan authorities. Jaballa Matar was held for about six<br />

years in a notorious Tripoli prison, and then no more was heard of him. Much of the younger Matar’s<br />

adult life has been ruled by unknowns, and they form the foundation for his breathtaking memoir,<br />

“The Return.” The book is constructed as two interwoven narratives. One is the story of a closing:<br />

the kidnapping, incarceration and disappearance of Matar’s father. The parallel story is of an<br />

opening, as the son spends two decades peeling away layers of obscure, unreliable details from exprisoners<br />

and craven Libyan officials to try to uncover what happened to his father. Matar, a Barnard<br />

College professor of English and New Yorker contributor, has produced two acclaimed novels about<br />

fathers who go missing under Middle Eastern dictatorships. “The Return” is an elegy by a son who,<br />

through his eloquence, defies the men who wanted to erase his father and gifts him with a kind of<br />

immortality.


Rogue Heroes<br />

The History of the SAS, Britain’s Secret Special Forces Unit That Sabotaged the Nazis and<br />

Changed the Nature of War<br />

BY BEN MACINTYRE<br />

In earlier days, generals understood war as two armies facing each other across a defined<br />

battlefield. A startling change occurred when an unlikely war hero, David Stirling, came up with an<br />

experiment that called for sneaking soldiers into the adversary’s camp, sabotaging equipment, then<br />

sneaking off again into the night. At first the tactic seemed unsporting, if not scandalous, but the<br />

commando operation became the prototype for special forces around the world. In “Rogue Heroes,”<br />

Macintyre provides a riveting history of a revolutionary fighting force. Using unprecedented access<br />

to British Special Air Service regimental archives, Macintyre has gleaned fascinating material.<br />

Among the characters is an SAS officer invested with “an enormous moustache, an upper-class<br />

accent so fruity that the men barely understood his commands, and a habit of saying ‘what, what’<br />

after every sentence, earning himself the nickname ‘Captain What What.’?” As Captain What What<br />

might have put it, this is a ripping good read.
