Politics & Government
Hayes's resume: Congress, legislature, state GOP chair. Now he's a defendant.
As an heir to the Cannon Mills textile fortune, Robin Hayes continued his family's philanthropic work in Cabarrus County while serving as a Republican member of Congress, candidate for governor and state GOP chairman as the party swept to statewide victories.
This week, the genial, 73-year-old Hayes played a most unfamiliar role: a defendant under indictment for allegedly trying to funnel bribe money to the reelection campaign of North Carolina's insurance commissioner.
That news came a day after Hayes announced Monday that he wouldn't seek reelection as state chair, saying he would focus instead on recovery from recent hip surgery.
Party leaders at the time heaped praise on Hayes, crediting him with leading a Republican resurgence while serving as chair from 2011 to 2013 and again since 2016. The role confirmed his long-held gravitas among the party's leadership, Christian conservatives and the business community.
"I could always count on Chairman Robin Hayes," former Gov. Pat McCrory said in a statement accompanying Monday's announcement. "His dedication to public service, the Republican Party and his fellow man are unquestioned."
"It's because of his leadership that the national convention is coming to North Carolina in 2020!" added Susan Mills, vice chair of the Ninth District GOP.
On Wednesday, the party said Hayes would turn over his duties to district chair Aubrey Woodard, who will serve as the state GOP's acting chair. Hayes looks forward to clearing his name from this week's allegations, his attorney, Kearns Davis, said in a statement.
Hayes is the grandson of textile magnate Charles Cannon, the founder of Cannon Mills, once the world's largest producer of towels and sheets. The company was sold in 1982 and, following the bankruptcy of its buyer, the landmark main mill in Kannapolis was demolished in 2005.
The family's fingerprints on the state continue through its philanthropies. Hayes still serves on the boards of the Cannon Foundation, which makes grants for healthcare, higher education, human services and community projects, and the Charles A. Cannon Charitable Trusts, according to their websites.
Hayes was born in Concord on the August day in 1945 when Japan surrendered to end World War II. He's the only child of Shell oil distributor Robert Hayes and Mariam Cannon Hayes, the daughter of Cannon Mills magnate Charles Cannon. He graduated from Duke University and worked as a hosiery mill owner and highway contractor.
His public service began in 1978, when he was elected to Concord's town board. Years later he said former President Ronald Reagan had sparked his interest in politics.
Hayes was elected to the N.C. House in 1992, serving two terms and rising to majority whip. He ran for governor in 1996, losing to four-term Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt, but was elected to the U.S. House representing the 8th Congressional District in 1998.
"He was devoted to the Republican Party and to conservative principles of government — that's why this is so stunning to me. It's so out of character for him," said former Charlotte mayor Richard Vinroot, who lost to Hayes in the 1996 Republican primary for governor.
Vinroot said he had been surprised that, following his decade in Congress, Hayes had invested so much of his time in building up the state GOP. "He may have gotten carried away with building the party," he said, "but I know for sure he didn't do it for Robin Hayes."
In 2008, near the end of his five terms, Hayes was the eighth-wealthiest member of Congress with a net worth estimated at $82 million. Following the death of his mother, an auction that year of family treasures included a 19th-century Conestoga wagon and documents signed by presidents George Washington and Andrew Jackson.
As a House member, Hayes came under heavy political fire in 2005 for flipping his vote to support the Central American Free Trade Agreement, breaking a tie that passed the measure. Democrats argued the deal would send textile jobs to Central America. Hayes insisted his vote would help save the ailing industry.
In 2007, he defended NASCAR fans after some congressional aides were told to get hepatitis shots before visiting Charlotte Motor Speedway on a fact-finding trip about public health preparedness at mass gatherings.
"I feel compelled to ask why the heck the (Homeland Security) committee feels that immunizations are needed to travel to my hometown," Hayes thundered in a letter to the committee's Democratic chairman. "I have been to numerous NASCAR races, and the folks who attend these events certainly do not pose any health hazard to congressional staffers or anyone else."
A 'most successful' NC GOP chair
Hayes's 2008 campaign spent $3.8 million on his reelection, compared to his opponent's $1.5 million, but Hayes lost to former textile worker and teacher Larry Kissell after narrowly defeating Kissell in 2006.
A slip-up two weeks before the election didn't improve Hayes's chances. "Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God," he told a crowd in Concord before an appearance by then-presidential candidate John McCain.
Hayes initially denied making the remark but later said he "wasn't thinking" when he did so. The comment dogged him for the rest of the campaign, and Kissell easily won the seat. Four years later, Hayes' former district director, Richard Hudson, beat Kissell to reclaim the 8th Congressional District seat for Republicans.
In the 2012 elections, during Hayes' first stint as state GOP chair, Republicans gained a veto-proof supermajority in the state House and expanded one in the Senate, gained three congressional seats and made McCrory the state's first Republican governor in nearly two decades.
Tami Fitzgerald, executive director of the "pro-family" N.C. Values Coalition, said it's hard for her to square this week's indictment with the kind, likeable Hayes she's known since he served in the legislature in the early 1990s. "He's a steady man of prayer, and I greatly respect him," she said.
Fitzgerald credits Hayes as a leader in opposing abortion and advocating abstinence-based sex education. As state party chair, she said, he was skilled at bringing factions together.
"He has led the conservative movement in this state to a great degree," she said. "He's been a man of integrity and I greatly appreciate how he conducts himself."
When Hayes returned as state chair in 2016, replacing the ousted Hasan Harnett after a series of controversies, the GOP delivered 15 electoral votes for President Donald Trump and took six of nine Council of State seats.
In a Charlotte Observer op-ed following allegations of election fraud in the 9th Congressional District last December, Hayes railed against "paid political mercenaries" and called for their prosecution as "a scourge on our democracy." He wrote that the state GOP had no knowledge of the absentee ballot harvesting under investigation.
"This is a national embarrassment that can never be allowed to repeat itself," he wrote.

February 27, 1992, Section D, Page 1Buy Reprints
Five years after a double slug of bad real estate and energy loans sent it reeling, the Mellon Bank Corporation has regained much of its strength. While problems remain, like the fallout from past real estate lending, the bank founded 123 years ago by the wealthy Mellon family has broken with its past as a corporate lender and managed to find profits elsewhere.
Under Frank V. Cahouet, the folksy banking veteran who is chairman, president and chief executive, Mellon has sharply reduced its inventory of bad loans and curtailed its corporate lending, where the headaches are big and the profits small. The strategy, which Mr. Cahouet began putting into effect almost as soon as he joined Mellon in 1987, calls for lending to small companies and consumers, where the growth and profits seem limitless. Centerpiece of Recovery
Most important, Mr. Cahouet (pronounced COW-et) has expanded Mellon's service businesses, like overseeing personal investments, managing cash for corporations and handling data-processing for smaller banks. While these businesses had been important to Mellon, under Mr. Cahouet they have become the centerpiece for the bank's recovery, contributing a rising share of revenues and the largest single portion -- an estimated 40 percent -- of Mellon's record 1991 profit.
The business shift has also caused a big swing in the mix of Mellon's $29.4 billion in assets. Consumer lending, which at the end of 1986 accounted for 19 percent of Mellon's total, is now 34 percent. Meanwhile, lending to blue-chip companies, which earned Mellon the sobriquet "the J. P. Morgan of the Alleghenies," has fallen slightly since 1986, to about 46 percent of assets from 50 percent.
"The momentum in Mellon's service business is tremendous," said Livia S. Asher, an analyst at Merrill Lynch.
Still, Mellon is not without troubles, nor its strategy without skeptics. With 31 percent of its real estate loans nonperforming, analysts say, Mellon may have to take additional write-downs against income to account for further declines in property values. Mellon's operating expenses have also been rising rapidly. And while profit margins remain rich in Mellon's service businesses, the margins are under pressure from price cutting.
Mellon also has an investor-relations problem. A 1988 decision to sell $1.4 billion in bad loans at a loss chafed investors. Investors were also piqued by Mellon's step that year to build its capital by selling stock to a European investor group, E. M. Warburg, Pincus & Company, which diluted existing shareholders' ownership and gave Warburg 16 percent of Mellon's common stock, making it Mellon's largest single shareholder.
"Mellon lost a lot of its core institutional shareholders after that transaction," said Kristina E. Andersson of Smith Barney. Coming Off a Record Year
For 1991, Mellon reported record earnings of $280 million, or $4.66 a share, up from $174 million, or $2.83 a share, in 1990. Return on assets, a widely cited measure of a bank's profitability, stood at an impressive 0.96 percent of assets -- eighth best among the top 25 banks as ranked by assets, and in line with the industry's 1 percent goal. And Mellon's 15.8 percent return on equity exceeded the industry's 15 percent goal.
Those profits earned Mellon's employees a paid day off this year in a thank-you gesture by Mr. Cahouet. Last year, by contrast, merit pay increases were deferred for all workers, and bonuses and vacations for top officers were slashed after a 1990 fourth-quarter loss of $99 million. In the last 10 years, Mellon has laid off more than 4,000 people.
"Arguably, Cahouet saved the company from a dire fate," said Thaddeus W. Paluszek," the Mellon analyst at Kidder, Peabody. How Mellon Became 'Good'
Mr. Cahouet's first big move, novel in 1988, was for Mellon to accept a few cents on the dollar on a bad loan to be rid of it, instead of waiting years to collect a little more. This "good bank/bad bank" strategy, as it is known in the industry, allowed Mellon, as the "good" bank, to keep its performing loans, and sweep away $1.4 billion in troubled loans by selling them to a "bad" bank called Grant Street National Bank.
The sale cut Mellon's nonperforming asset ratio to 5.03 percent at the end of 1988 from its 8.01 percent peak in 1987, when rumors persisted that Mellon was in danger of failing.
Since then, Mellon has been working with reasonable success to improve the quality of its remaining loans, with the nonperforming ratio at 4.78 percent at the end of 1991.
Leading the effort has been Richard H. Daniel, a Mellon vice chairman and longtime friend of Mr. Cahouet's from the days when the two were colleagues at Security Pacific Bank in California. In banking circles, Mr. Daniel, who goes by the name Dick, is regarded as one of the industry's best loan-collection men. Squat and bespectacled, with a fire-plug physique, Mr. Daniel has an urn on his desk to hold, he says, "the ashes of customers who don't pay." Nonperforming Assets
Mr. Daniel has kept Mellon's good loans in good shape. Excluding commercial real estate, Mellon's nonperforming asset ratio stood at a slim 1.3 percent last Dec. 31, one of the strongest ratios in the industry.
The problem, though, is that Mellon continues to have a large number of real estate loans. Under David Barnes, Mr. Cahouet's predecessor as chief executive, Mellon lent heavily to developers in Texas, Colorado and Louisiana, trying to take advantage of the oil boom in the early 80's.
While Mellon was able to sell some of these real estate loans to Grant Street, there was a limit to how much trouble investors would buy. The result: some $700 million, or 31 percent, of Mellon's approximately $2.3 billion in remaining real estate loans were nonperforming at the end of last year. The average for most banks of Mellon's size was 15 percent.
Mellon's troubled loan ratio "is still too high," Mr. Cahouet acknowledged in a recent interview in his office in Pittsburgh. "It's partly a matter of where we came from and partly a matter of the economy." Consumers, Services, Computers
So Mellon has been busy buying banks with significant retail and consumer business, like the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society, better known as PSFS, which Mellon acquired in 1990. Mellon is also expanding its number of credit-card customers.
More than anything, though, Mr. Cahouet has expanded Mellon's service businesses. Along with State Street Bank in Boston and the Northern Trust Company in Chicago, for instance, Mellon is one of the leading bookkeepers for thousands of corporate pension plans -- executing trades on behalf of the money managers who invest pension money, tracking the money managers' performance and keeping account records for pension plan participants. It is a business that analysts say produces giant profit margins -- anywhere from 35 percent to 50 percent before taxes -- and Mellon, with $120 billion in such assets under administration, is the nation's third-largest "master trustee."
Mellon has also become a leader in cash management, the business of investing companies' idle funds day to day. That business, too, is said by analysts to produce 35 to 50 percent pretax returns, and Mellon's operation is almost as large as that of First Chicago, the cash-management leader.
Mellon has also expanded its business of providing computer services to smaller banks: everything from processing credit-card transactions to running regional automatic-teller networks.
The advantage of this kind of business is that customers tend to be loyal because it is cumbersome to transfer large volumes of data to another processor. Another edge is that service businesses are difficult to enter, requiring hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the necessary computer equipment and tens of millions of dollars more to program the computers. Squeezing Small Competitors
William Gregor, the head of financial institutions consulting at the MAC Group, a Cambridge-based consultant, said that most of Mellon's service businesses "are not the sort of business that other people can come crashing into; it's just too expensive to start from scratch."
Such thinking has allowed service businesses to become more important than ever at Mellon. In 1985, they generated $365 million in revenues, or 27 percent of the banking company's total. By last year, service revenue had leaped to $742 million, or 41 percent of the total.
Mellon's management is convinced that as prices in the services area shrink, smaller players will be squeezed out of the business, leaving Mellon with an even bigger market share than it has at present. That would increase Mellon's profits further and help its stock price, which, in recognition of the strong returns from services, has outperformed most other bank stocks, and has climbed 86 percent from its 52-week low.
[ On the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday, Mellon's common shares closed at $40.125, unchanged. ]
But analysts say the run-up in the stock price is due almost entirely to buying by a handful of investors and that most investors are still wary, wondering whether Mellon's fat returns in services can continue and whether new troubles could emerge from the bank's real estate group.
George G. C. Parker, a Stanford University finance professor who studies banks, said: "The market remains skeptical. It's just not ready to believe that the returns Mellon has been reporting are sustainable."

MUMBAI — Khushali Kumar, the young daughter of Gulshan Kumar and sister of Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and singer Tulsi Kumar, will make her debut in "Dahi Cheeni," a quirky slice-of-life human drama. The same film makes R. Madhavan's comeback to Hindi cinema after "Saala Khadoos" four years ago.
Kumar, like any aspiring actor, auditioned for her role and bagged it on merit.
To be directed by debutant filmmaker Ashwin Neal Mani, "Dahi Cheeni" is scheduled to go on floors next month.
Kumar said, "Like any other artiste I'm very excited for my first film. I've worked really very hard for this prep, and right from auditions to the prep, it's been a memorable journey. I'm so kicked to start the first schedule very soon. And it's scary to stand next to Maddy (R. Madhavan), but I have made up my mind and am ready to go at it full throttle."
Director Mani said, "It is my debut film, so I was a bit finicky about each and every detail and the actors were my biggest concern. Then I met Khushali and in due time she proved to me that no one else could do a better job. I saw her living the character that I essayed and today I am overjoyed to say that she is the perfect leading lady for the film."

I read something that described it as a portrait of a missing figure that traces the perimeter around an absence.
The constraints, or rules, that Calle uses as starting points often allow for chance results, and as here, often make public the artist's emotional life.
Calle took the e-mail, and gave it to women of various professions, to help her understand it, to interpret, analyze, examine and perform it.
It is a prime example of her contribution to Conceptual art with her mode of taking a nominal proposition and carrying it out through the production of a work. The aim being to document the process of crafting the narrative and the considerations relating to bringing the elements of image and text together successfully.

It highlights her synonymous incorporation of photography, documentary, and chance and posits the artist in a role similar to an anthropologist, seeking clues and exploring mysteries about specific specimens of humanity.
Perhaps I am pulling that statement out of context. It was consequently suggested that the concept is acceptable but ultimately any layout is dependent on how images will be used.

24. Isaac and Rebekah
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 2And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh: 3And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: 4But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac. 5And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest? 6And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence. 8And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again. 9And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
10And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor. 11And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water. 12And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham. 13Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 14And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
15And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder. 16And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. 17And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 18And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 19And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking. 20And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. 21And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the Lord had made his journey prosperous or not. 22And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold; 23And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in? 24And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor. 25She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in. 26And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the Lord. 27And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the Lord led me to the house of my master's brethren. 28And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
29And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well. 30And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well. 31And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
32And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him. 33And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on. 34And he said, I am Abraham's servant. 35And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses. 36And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath. 37And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: 38But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son. 39And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me. 40And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house: 41Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath. 42And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go: 43Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink; 44And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son. 45And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee. 46And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also. 47And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands. 48And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son. 49And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left. 50Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the Lord: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. 51Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the Lord hath spoken. 52And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth. 53And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things. 54And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master. 55And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go. 56And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master. 57And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth. 58And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. 59And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. 60And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
61And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. 62And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country. 63And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming. 64And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. 65For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself. 66And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. 67And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
64. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes. We may easily conjecture that Isaac, when he saw the camels, turned his steps towards them, from the desire of seeing his bride; this gave occasion to the inquiry of Rebekah. Having received the answer, she immediately, for the sake of doing honor to her husband, dismounted her camel to salute him. For that she fell, struck with fear, as some suppose, in no way agrees with the narrative. She had performed too long a journey, under the protection of many attendants, to be so greatly afraid at the sight of one man. But these interpreters are deceived, because they do not perceive, that in the words of Moses, the reason is afterwards given to this effect, that when Rebekah saw Isaac, she alighted from her camel; because she had inquired of the servant who he was, and had been told that he was the son of his master Abraham. It would not have entered into her mind to make such inquiry respecting any person whom she might accidentally meet: but seeing she had been informed that Abraham's house was not far distant, she supposes him at least to be one of the domestics. Moses also says that she took a veil: which was a token of shame and modesty. For hence also, the Latin word which signifies "to marry,"1212 "Verbum nubendi." The original meaning of the word nubere is to veil, or cover. is derived, because it was the custom to give brides veiled to their husbands. That the same rite was also observed by the fathers, I have no doubt.1313 "Isaac was walking, and it would therefore have been the highest breach of Oriental good manners, to have remained on the camel when presented to him. No doubt they all alighted and walked to meet him, conducting Rebekah as a bride to meet the bridegroom." — Bush. — Ed. So much the more shameful, and the less capable of excuse, is the licentiousness of our own age; in which the apparel of brides seems to be purposely contrived for the subversion of all modesty.

"If you wish to actually perceive the Kim Jong-un of the current, you must journey again to his early years," stated Kim Younger-hui, who defected from North Korea in 2002 and is now a senior economist on the Korea Growth Financial institution's Inter-Korean Financial Cooperation Analysis Unit.
He questioned why his father, Kim Jong-il, hadn't travelled abroad a lot "and why North Korea was so poor," she stated, citing a e-book by a Japanese chef who labored for the late dictator. "Kim Jong-un was considering that when he turned the chief, he would run the nation rather a lot higher than his reclusive father."
Over the previous seven years, the Swiss-educated Kim has steered North Korea from his father's "army first" coverage targeted on constructing a nuclear arsenal to 1 that emphasises the financial system. After efficiently testing an intercontinental ballistic missile in 2017, he declared the weapons program "full," initiated talks with Trump and introduced a brand new technique for enhancing the financial system.
The transfer ended Trump's threats of struggle and paved the best way for a historic first assembly with the US President in June. It additionally opened a brand new world of potential buyers from Seoul to Singapore – offered Kim can get Trump to calm down worldwide sanctions in opposition to his weapons program.
In current months, Kim has railed in opposition to the sanctions, which do every thing from ban journey by officers to curb its power imports. North Korea ranks as one of many world's poorest nations and the sanctions are believed to have helped trigger the nation's deepest recession in 20 years in 2017, in keeping with South Korean estimates.
"Once they come to negotiations, it means they're having a tricky time internally as a consequence of sanctions and Kim feels nervous," stated Thae Yong-ho, who was North Korea's deputy ambassador to the UK earlier than defecting in 2016 and changing into a critic of the regime.
Kim left Pyongyang on Saturday afternoon on a prepare that may take him via China all the way down to Vietnam.
He travelled overseas 5 occasions final 12 months – greater than any North Korean chief in a minimum of 20 years – typically visiting industrial websites. Kim reportedly plans to do the identical in Vietnam forward of the deliberate summit, giving him a close-up view of a fellow socialist state that has prospered after easing hostility with the US.
North Korean officers have been noticed close to Samsung's smartphone crops in Vietnam, the Yonhap Information Company reported final week, suggesting Kim might tour South Korean factories. Whereas South Korea is Vietnam's second-largest buying and selling accomplice, a North Korean chief hasn't visited Vietnam since Kim's grandfather, Kim Il-sung, in 1964.
Trump himself has repeatedly cited Kim's growth objectives whereas arguing why North Korea would commerce its nuclear arsenal away.
"Chairman Kim realises, maybe higher than anybody else, that with out nuclear weapons, his nation might quick change into one of many nice financial powers anyplace on the planet," Trump tweeted on Sunday. "Due to its location and folks (and him), it has extra potential for fast progress than some other nation!"
Kim hasn't secured his management over North Korea by exhibiting weak point. His reign has been marked by ruthless purges and executions, together with the killing of his uncle and one-time deputy, Jang Music Thaek, in addition to the homicide of his older half-brother, Kim Jong Nam.
That consolidation of energy has given him the area to introduce financial and authorities reforms as soon as seen as practically not possible within the insular, one-party state. And it is allowed him to shake palms with Trump, the chief of a rustic that North Korean propaganda has spent generations blaming for all of its issues.
Even now, the purges seem like persevering with. Kim exiled, imprisoned or executed 50 to 70 members of the nation's political elite final 12 months, together with opponents of engagement with the US, in keeping with a report revealed final week by the North Korea Technique Centre, a Seoul-based analysis establishment based by a former defector.
"Kim Jong-un has been very skillful in rewarding the pleasant, co-opting the impartial and punishing the hostile," stated Moon Chung-in, particular adviser on international coverage to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, stated in an interview earlier this month.
"His longevity is institutionally assured. However on the similar time he is good at consolidating energy."
Kim now wants to point out the elite again in Pyongyang that his engagement efforts can carry financial alternative with out sacrificing the nation's nuclear deterrent – its "treasured sword."
The regime has an extended historical past of coming to the bargaining desk dangling the prospect of cooperation, solely to renege on offers after extracting financial concessions.
Chun Yungwoo, former chief South Korean envoy to worldwide nuclear negotiations with North Korea, stated Kim's profitable consolidation of energy requires him to think about what sort of nation he desires to rule over for the following 40 to 50 years.
"He desires to have a extra affluent nation – he desires financial growth," Chun stated. "With out giving up nuclear weapons, all he can do is preserve a subsistence-level financial system."
