Now that it's not clear how long he's going to rule and particularly who's going to take over, I think there is an increasing incentive inside North Korea for people to show their loyalty as they compete, as they jockey for position, and this is not the time you're going to see a sort of open North Korea.

It's the hot days in Rocky Ford that create more sugar in the fruit, and the cool nights that slow down that process, allowing the sugar to accumulate. So these cantaloupes are sweeter than in places where the temperature is more constant.
