re: #661 Decatur Deb

Information from the North is not as tightly controlled as sometimes thought. The armistice and preceding invasions caused a great intermingling of Northern and Southern extended families who ‘kept in touch’. Our neighbors in Seoul were from the North, and did not suffer much disadvantage or ostracism—could marry well.

Another factor: Mutual aspirations for re-unification. May hinder efforts of getting skeletons out of the closet.

Oh well, maybe in a couple of decades.
