LIFE IN THE CULT OF KIM - North Korea remains the most isolated, secretive country on earth, a place where daily life revolves around reverance for the dictator Kim Jong Il and his late father Kim Il-Sung and where any information _ in or out _ is blocked. These simple images offer rare glimpses of life inside the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. North Koreans bow their heads in honor as they stand before a statue of the late North Korean leader Kim Il Sung in Pyongyang on Feb. 26, 2009.
