“In a gesture of astonishing chutzpah, the North Koreans were submitting a bill of $3,241 for his enforced stay at the Yanggakdo Hotel. They’d even broken the room rate down, with six days at the “tourist season” rate of $75/day, and 36 days at the “ordinary season” rate of $60/day. Plus $591 for meals, $14 for dessert, and $23 for the phone call to Lee. And, as a final insult, there was a $3 fee for “a lost plate.” Merrill asked the State Department whether paying might help the other Americans detained in North Korea, and was told no. The bill remains unpaid.”

“The government of the People’s Republic of China and the government of the United States have had great differences. We will have differences in the future. But what we must do is find a way to see that we can have differences without being enemies in war.”
