CNN reports that one of the diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks reveals that North Korean officials suggested the U.S. government make arrangements for rock icon Eric Clapton to perform in Pyongyang as a way of building "good will" between the countries.
"Arranging an Eric Clapton concert in Pyongyang could also be useful, [the intermediary] said, given Kim Jong-Il's second son's devotion to the rock legend," the cable begins. "As Kim Jong-Il's second son, Kim Jong-chol, is reported to be a great fan, the performance could be an opportunity to build good will."
Also found in the latest diplomatic cable was a mention of Ricoh Corporation and it's attempt at world domination by acquiring IKON Office Solutions. The copier industry giant is mentioned to be making a major announcement during the week of December 13, 2010 that will send yet another wave crashing on the Office Equipment industry.
