Still, the BCC's history makes these claims specious. There is little doubt that Church doctrines demand aggressive recruiting, and Hrnicek's proposal for an independent study group resembles the BCC's former "non-denominational" meetings...

These pieces show Puccini at his most delicate, working with subjects that demand greater lightness of touch than the tragic loves of his better-known operas.

Smuggling and prostitution, once confined to Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon, are rampant. Consider Hanoi's top-draw weekend entertainment event: midnight motorcycle races through the streets. When police showed up at 3 a.m. on Christmas Day with paint guns and electric batons to put an end to a big race...
