NYT Round-Up

Just a few quick hits that caught my attention--

• The usually pro-engagement Nicholas Kristof advocates the use of a few more sticks in American-North Korean foreign policy in "Rethinking North Korea, With Sticks."
• Now that we're about halfway through his first year in office, Gail Collins offers "Barack's Progress Report."
• A disease that used to be nearly unknown now becomes quietly prominent, as Neil Amdur writes about in "Asperger's Syndrome, on Screen and in Life."
• Dan Barry writes about this land of ours, in which the homeless in Providence, RI are "Living in Tents, and by the Rules, Under a Bridge."
