...print run greater than 5,000. Tram herself became a national hero, with hundreds of people visiting her grave site and a hospital named after her. For the younger generation of Vietnamese (nearly 60% of the population was born after the war's end in 1975), Tram's ardent accounts of bloody conflict offer a vivid connection to a time their parents find difficult to speak about. Now translated into English as Last Night I Dreamed of Peace, the diaries provide international readers with a Vietnamese perspective of the "American War," as it was known to Tram and her compatriots...

For some, accompanying nostalgia for that era is a tangible disappointment in today’s students who, it may seem, have no interest in enduring truncheons...
...most students seem interested in occupying these days is the Queen’s Head. But there’s at least one undergrad who is deeply and sincerely engaged. Yes, Bennett C. Braddock III ’08 is a political junkie. He’s also an ardent support of First Amendment rights, especially when free speech involves shouting “You’re really hot!” in a crowded bar.
