...Gadd hopes to clear his name. He has claimed publicly that he did not know the age of consent in Vietnam was 18, and describes his legal ordeal there as a farce. "He tells me that his trial in Vietnam . . . was a charade, was a travesty of justice," Corker said. "He's pleased to be back because there is a possibility that, for the first time, he can appear before a court of justice...
...Vietnam The Mekong's Fatal Floods More than 160 people have died in northern Vietnam as a result of what is being called the worst flooding in a century.

Warren will undoubtedly give McCain the chance to talk in personal terms about his faith. But as many a politician has learned, speaking about faith...
...imperial infatuation. There are no cane-backed chairs or lovingly frayed Oriental rugs. Instead you'll find understated, masculine spaces that typify Fernando's personal style. There are high-backed upholstered sofas from Spain, a chandelier from the Netherlands, Chinese wedding cabinets, black-lacquer tabletops from Vietnam and Burmese art. In place of the pinks and reds so common in the subcontinent, there is a palette of avocado and chocolate, indigo, ebony, mud and ivory...
