- <p> Baseball certainly isn't known as the national pastime of
- North Korea. Condemned as a bourgeois indulgence, the sport was
- banned when the country was established in 1948. So why is a
- baseball stadium being built as a "gift" to President KIM IL
- SUNG for his 80th birthday next April? Apparently Kim changed
- his mind when he found out that fellow die-hard Marxist Fidel
- Castro and just about everybody else in Cuba is crazy about the
- game.
