Kim Jong il - athlete
Jere Longman, at The New York Times, looks at another side of the totalitarian leader:
"In his first match at Pyongyang Lanes, Kim bowled a perfect 300, according to state-run news media, which did not say whether the bumpers were raised. But that is nothing compared with the five holes in one and 38 under par that Kim reportedly shot in his maiden round of golf. No word on whether the course included a windmill, lion’s head and pop-up gopher."
Read on, it's impressive if not verifiable.
Thanks, Caroline.
