** UK Election
------------------------------------------------------------
Britain’s unpredictable election campaign moved to the ballot box today as citizens voted in a race that Prime Minister Theresa May once had solidly in her grip but then was reshaped by terrorist attacks, as the
Washington Post’s Karla Adam, William Booth, and Griff Witte report (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/britain-votes-in-election-torn-between-terrorism-worries-and-brexit-strategies/2017/06/08/5f080504-4aed-11e7-987c-42ab5745db2e_story.html?utm_term=.8a8faafb2a58&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=37822f3b44-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-37822f3b44-145367789) .

** ISIS Attacks Tehran
------------------------------------------------------------
Iranian police increased patrols in the streets and subway stations of Tehran today, a day after a pair of Islamic State attacks on parliament and the tomb of Iran’s revolutionary leader. Iran’s Intelligence Ministry confirmed that at least five of the eight male attackers had fought for ISIS, as Ramin Mostaghim and Molly Hennessy-Fiske of the
Los Angeles Times report (http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-tehran-attacks-20170608-story.html?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=37822f3b44-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-37822f3b44-145367789) .

** South Korea Won’t Back Down
------------------------------------------------------------
President Moon Jae-in of South Korea said today during a National Security Council meeting he “won’t back off even a single step and make any compromise” on the issue of national security. He warned that North Korea could only face further international isolation and more economic difficulties, as the AP reports (http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/korea-leader-warns-north-latest-missile-launch-47908481?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=37822f3b44-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-37822f3b44-145367789) .

** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
This week we’ve been talking about the Four Tops. “Reach Out, I’ll Be There” is one of my favorite songs. Ever.

Perhaps my all-time favorite television performance by any artist was when the Four Tops and the Temptations got together for Motown’s 25th anniversary television special in 1983 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_pJItOS0Uc&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=37822f3b44-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-37822f3b44-145367789) . I watched this live with my parents. This was my mom’s favorite music and it’s mine too. This performance still give me goosebumps and a grand smile.
