LOS ANGELES — It sure opened up as one big oddball of a summit.

For starters, the maximum leader of the northern half of the divided Korean Peninsula shows up on the first day in his trademark khaki casual suit that makes him look like some puffy Veterans of Foreign Wars figurine out of a 1950s department store catalog.

And then the leader from the bottom half of Korea steps onto the summit stage in Pyongyang looking as stiff and glazed as a celebrity waxwork from Madame Tussauds in London.
