North Korea is prepared to resume discussions with the United States but the conditions for talks are not yet in place, the North's official news agency reported. The report comes as the U.S. special envoy on Korean affairs, Jack Pritchard, wraps up a trip to South Korea on Friday that was seen as a preparatory step toward talks with the North. "Try us again next Thursday... No, not then. We're doing our hair. Saturday! Saturday's usually good."
