Your welcome.

And, this one has the Great Leader out and about in a time frame probably contiguous with the shooting report (let's say, the final several days of November, allowing for KCNA's translations from Korean to English...I think it is a two-three day time lag, and then a time lag from the event to the reporting of it in Rodong Shinmum or on Pyongyang TV:

"Kim Jong Il Enjoys Art Performance Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, enjoyed an art performance given by the State Symphony Orchestra. Also appreciating it were Secretaries of the WPK Central Committee Kim Kuk Thae and Kim Ki Nam, Chairman of the Radio and TV Broadcasting Committee of the DPRK Cha Sung Su, Department Director of the WPK Central Committee Ri Kwang Ho and First Vice Department Director of the WPK Central Committee Ri Jae Il. It put on the stage the newly created symphonic suite "Long Journey of Songun" and orchestral music "Rich Harvest Comes to the Chongsan Plain" and "Arirang." The performers fully represented the strong emotional effect of the orchestral music rich in national flavor through their unique rendition, thus strikingly demonstrating the validity and vitality of the WPK's literary and art policy of creating, arranging and depicting any art piece in Korean style. He congratulated the creators and artistes of the orchestra on their successful performance, greatly pleased with the presentation made by them with high artistry. He highly appreciated the successes made by them in the past, noting that they have developed the orchestral music to be Juche-oriented one which is loved by the people and contributes to the revolution by firmly adhering to the principle of developing it in Korean style to suit the sentiment of the Korean people. He said the State Symphony Orchestra with a long history is one which we can boast before the world for its stature, the quality of its musical instruments, the level of its representation and performing activities. He set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in further developing the Juche-oriented orchestral music, underscoring the need to make a graceful and rich representation of the people's spiritual world getting nobler with the passage of time and thus fully satisfy the cultural and emotional need of the people.

Re #67, #68

Predictably, the articles project the impression that everything is in order.:) Can you detect anything missing or out of place in these article? Since I do not go over them carefully, I do not know what to or what not to expect from this kind of articles.
