...Kimball is also working for less pay. Two years ago, he was a computer-sales executive earning $130,000 a year. He leased two shining cars, ate out often and took expensive vacations with his wife. When the small computer-services company he worked for in Raleigh, N.C., went out of business in the summer of 2001, Kimball, now 58, was unconcerned. "I had never had a problem finding work," he recalls. But times had changed. He struggled to land a decent job, and the stress contributed to a heart condition that required surgery.

...potential political rival. Only a few churches have been granted official status, and congregations without state approval worship at their peril. Even hill-tribe Christmas celebrations, which are held without interference in other parts of Vietnam, are subject to harassment. Leh Ksor, 35, a new resident of Raleigh, recalls how police two years ago used tear gas to break up a Christmas pageant in a highland village near the Cambodian border.
