A single day on NK News reveals hard choices – and parallel universes

Or there’ll be a new comment or analysis piece, fleshing out the background on an important issue. Such context and reflection are crucial. Otherwise, each separate gobbet of news is like a single jagged jigsaw piece. The art is to put them all together and make a pattern. Not easy.
