NORTH KOREA . . . BACK TO THE TABLE
The U.S. will hold talks with North Korea July 8, in an attempt to resolve the standoff over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. The move is a resumption of talks that were called off when the communist government refused U.N. inspectors full access to nuclear facilities. The meetings, to take place in Geneva, appear to be a result of diplomatic manuevering on the part of former President Jimmy Carter, who visited North Korea two weeks ago. Since then, Pyongyang has allowed inspectors back into the facilities.
