NKIDP Coordinator James Person Featured on Voice of America

NKIDP Coordinator James Person was recently featured by the Voice of America program Now You Know--a weekly webcast which provides in-depth background on important international issues.

In his interview concerning the contrasts between former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and current leader Kim Jong Il, Person pointed out that the younger Kim lacks much of his father's charisma, and as a result, likely enjoys considerably less respect in the DPRK's leadership circles.
