The Hair is Apparent, the Heir Isn't.

The article reports on Kim Jong Il, North Korean leader, who has identified a new threat to his grip on power. Men in the North are letting their hair grow longer, a social trend so disturbing to Kim that he is trying to eradicate it at its roots. Another problem Kim is facing is how to perpetuate the rule of his dynasty. North Koreans assume that sooner or later he will name a successor to assume the mantle of power he inherited from his father Kim II Sung in 1994.
