...have questions here at Dartboard, lots of questions. Why hasn't Rudenstine shown himself in public. Has he been captured by radical Yale's, trapped in a box six feet underground with only glucose pumped through a straw to sustain him?

Ahn Myung Jon, a military infiltration expert, said he used his skills to cross the heavily fortified DMZ on the 38th parallel after a disagreement with his superiors. He described being trained inside an uncannily accurate underground model of Seoul to insinuate himself into the capital. Given North Korea's success in sneaking agents into the South, the account had credibility...
