In this October 10, 1980, file photo from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency distributed by Korea News Service, leader Kim Il Sung stands at a podium in Pyongyang. For nearly 70 years, the three generations of the Kim family have run North Korea with an absolute rule that tolerates no dissent. The ruling family has devoted much of the country's scarce resources to its military but has constantly feared Washington is intent on destroying the authoritarian government.
