According to plans, the 18-foot-wide and 150-foot-long connector would house two galleries and a lounge...

In Hanoi, which shows surprisingly few signs of the U.S. bombing, water buffalo pull carts down boulevards lined with tamarind trees. There are few automobiles; as elsewhere in Asia, the bicycle is ubiquitous...
