...Vietnam's largest trading partner (two-way trade: $8.7 billion). The U.S. remains Vietnam's largest single-country export market, but many of the companies locating in the north think that, too, may be changing quickly. Most of the companies that have placed factories in the north harbor big plans of sending their finished products, from bathroom fixtures to digital cameras, to the mainland. On a small scale, that's already happening.

The good guys harbor doubts and make grievous mistakes, and the series offers no easy moral answers. In the war against terrorism, MI-5 understands, uncertainty is the scariest thing...
...white-collar wage slaves, but 30 years too early, they are undergoing a mid-teen crisis. The received wisdom (voiced in the most irresistible of the movie's nine radio-friendly songs) is to "Stick to the stuff you know... Stick to the status quo." Yet a few kids harbor subversive ambitions. The inner Troy wants to try out for the school musical, and another hoopster has a forbidden love for baking. One boy secretly plays the cello...
