We hired a car and went up to Hue together, intending to go to the Ashau Valley, home of Apbia Mountain, or Hamburger Hill, the site in May 1969 of one of the most appalling battles of the war.

In the 1930s, an arguably mad scientist from Maine manipulated the horns of a calf so that they grew entwined as one, proving, at least in theory that unicorns could exist - sort of.
