Dr. Nguyen Kim Lien, a steely eyed woman in her 40s who runs the ward, estimates that a third of her patients wouldn't be there if they had been wearing helmets.

Through contacts of his ex-diplomat father, Canh last year persuaded Vietnam's President Tran Duc Luong to plead his case. It worked. Ri was allowed to leave North Korea, and they wed last month in Hanoi. "She's still beautiful," beams Canh. He sees his bliss as a sign that North Korea is changing.
