North Korea has long been known for its love of titles for its leaders. Mr. Kim's grandfather, the nation's founder, was known as the Great Leader; his son, the Dear Leader. The country seems not yet to have decided on the same kind of moniker for Mr. Kim — settling for workaday titles like marshal of the military.
