...deal than even China got," says Jonathan Pincus, a Hanoi-based economist for the United Nations Development Programme (). For example, next April, Vietnam must allow foreign banks to set up their own branch offices in the country, without requiring them to partner with domestic lenders as banks wanting to enter China have been obligated to do. Vietnamese law now protects its state-dominated insurers by banning foreign insurance companies from selling to individuals, but that will change under the WTO. The stakes are high: less than 5% of Vietnamese people now have bank accounts or insurance, so the potential market...
Ever since Woodrow Wilson draped foreign policy with a mantle of idealism by declaring that the U.S. should enter World War I to make the world safe for democracy, American leaders have tended in public to stress the idealist elements of the mix when justifying a foreign involvement.

After a cavity search, he dresses again and his hands are cuffed through an opening in the bars that separate the vestibule from the rest of the cell. The guards then march him down the corridor, a steel-tipped baton at the ready. When all the prisoners are lined up, they are led to an outdoor...
...minutes, as the Crimson tied the Bears and the Bulldogs. Now, Martin and Harvard are in similar straits. Martin is charged with minding net for the sixth-ranked Crimson with only junior walk-on Kristin Toretta on the bench as insurance. Freshman Christina Kessler was supposed to enter the program and challenge Martin for the starting job vacated by graduate Ali Boe ’06. But the Canadian rookie injured her knee during a local tournament in early August, tearing the MCL in her knee. Kessler is slowly resuming hockey activities, but while she continues her rehabilitation, the untested...
