...Soul Alley, this 200-yd. back street is located just one mile from U.S. military headquarters for Viet Nam. At first glance, it is like any other Saigon alley: mama-sans peddle Winston cigarettes and Gillette Foam Shaves from pushcarts, and the bronzed, bony drivers of three-wheeled, cycles sip lukewarm beer at corner food stalls as children play tag near their feet.

...known varieties of bats the vampire, for example, turns out to be one of the easiest to domesticate. Weighing but an ounce, it requires only a tablespoon of blood a day.
