OpEd: Former Stanford honors student calls North Korea's new leader a "Corleone"

Op-ed: The New York Times on March 4, 2012

Former CISAC honors student Sheena Chestnut Greitens writes in an OpEd in The New York Times that North Korea's young new leader is a "Corleone" who now must be both head of state and mafia don. Chestnut Greitens' piece builds on her honors thesis about the state-sanctioned crime syndicate that permeates society in the isolated country.
