BEIJING (AP) -- A British film crew says it has found the last American defector still living in North Korea -- an Army private who crossed over to the Stalinist state in 1962 and says he is glad he did.
Pvt. James Dresnok lives in the capital, Pyongyang, where he says he likes his "simple life,''
..."I did not want to stay in DPRK at first,'' Dresnok told the film crew, referring to North Korea by the initials of its formal name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "I wanted to go to Russia....''If I was in Russia right now, I would be out of work,'' he said. "It would be the same if I returned to America. I find it more convenient to live among peaceful people, living a simple life.''
