More astounding, Rodman got serious face and partying time with the reclusive despot, whose brother, Kim Jong-chul, used to parade around their Swiss prep school in the Worm's Bulls jersey. At a private dinner reception, Rodman even serenaded the Supreme Leader with Sinatra's "My Way." Afterward, the Worm said of Kim, "guy's really awesome" and a "friend for life." A headline in Britain's Daily Mirror pronounced them THE BASKETBALL ACE AND THE BASKETCASE.

The ace took such criticism in his long, loping stride. "I haven't had a job in years, yet I'm talked about more than ever," he marveled. "I'm doing all these amazing, historic things, and the public can't believe it's actually Dennis Rodman, of all people—not Madonna, Oprah or anybody like that. It's Dennis Rodman!"

More accurately, Dennis Rodmen. "Dennis has multiple personalities," says Darren Prince, his marketing agent. "The way I see it, he has six." The way we see it, all six are Disney characters who are tight with Snow White.

Dennis Rodman is HAPPY.

Early on this warm, blustery afternoon outside the Jet Blue baggage claim at JFK, the Worm is holding forth—to his limo driver, to anyone who will listen, to the wind—on his foray into geopolitics. "Before I landed in Pyongyang, I didn't know Kim Jong-un from Lil' Kim," he says. "I didn't know what country he ruled or what went on in the country he ruled."

So how is life in North Korea?

"I can't complain."

His getup looks like debris from an exploding thrift shop. Slung from his left shoulder is a satchel stuffed with scarves, some lacy, some sparkly, all exotic. His T-shirt is untucked, his Converse All-Stars are unlaced, and he's got more metal in his head than the average golf club.

So, Dennis, what was your sense of Kim Jong-un?

"All he does is smile and smile and smile. He's just having a blast."
