...Vote for Ky. A surprising number of Vietnamese seemed to do just that -think for themselves. And those who did vote to order were not necessarily backers of the government ticket. In the ancient imperial capital of Hué, for example, Thich Tri Quang, the militant Buddhist monk, sent out word to vote for Suu. As a result, Suu not only carried Hué but nearby Danang and Thua Thien province as well. Huong, as expected, carried his old mayoralty of Saigon.
