Workers paid low wages in inflationary times find their debt harder to repay if they get a further cut-a terrible prospect in this period of record credit-card bills. Deflation has devastated...
...more war movies, but that may not be enough to prevent his blacklisting. Vietnam's Ministry of Culture?kind of a Supreme Court of censorship?is now reviewing the film and will decide Duong's fate soon. Meanwhile, he can be seen in the current release Green Dragon , a refugee-camp drama by Vietnamese-American brothers Timothy Linh Bui and Tony Bui. It may be the last chance to see him for a while...
