...Vietnamese would declare another war tomorrow and immediately declare themselves the losers if they could just get the Americans back.''

There is something almost poetic in the concept: for the first time in history, two major enemies have kept...
...case - it can be reopened if compelling new evidence emerges - marks only the latest twist in a frenetic and far-flung search for Madeleine that has at times had much of the world transfixed. Soon after she vanished from the family's vacation apartment in the southern Portuguese resort town of Praia da Luz - parents Kate and Gerry were eating at a tapas bar in the resort complex at the time - a high-profile push to find Madeleine was launched. Soccer star David Beckham appealed for information. Kate and Gerry McCann even secured a brief audience with the Pope...
