Despite the momentum, however, the contest was a disaster, a 5-1 blowout with few redeeming qualities. “The last game at Yale was probably our worst game in the last 10 games...
...that sentiment is not as common as it once was. As recently as five years ago, many wealthy Vietnamese officials took pains to disguise their net worth; they rode motorbikes to work and turned assets into gold bars that were hidden in their modest homes.
