...Whether it was intentional or not, the resemblance between the food face and that of our President was really incredible. Especially the nose-a hot dog! Terrific...
QUANG TRI province, according to a Vietnamese proverb, is a place where "dog eats stone and chicken eats salt." It is easy to appreciate this bit of folk wisdom, writes Aikman.

We are no longer just a product, and we are not plastic either. Real people live here, and sometimes there is dog dirt in the streets, and there are kids going to school." What the community needs most, he suggests, is something beyond skiing and summer leisure, perhaps an "industry of the mind" or a center for the performing arts. As a start, the University of Colorado has begun to hold workshops on urban...
