...Southeast Asia's largest flower farm, Dalat Hasfarm, thrives in Vietnam's central highlands, producing 500,000 stems a day for export. But the farm's 300 flower varieties aren't all that's blossoming in the cool mountain clime. In downtown Dalat, love is almost always in the air. Dalat has evolved into Vietnam's honeymoon capital. At hot spots like the scenic Valley of Love park and crescent-shaped Xuan Huong Lake, you'll find a lot of Disneyesque diversion, such as swan-shaped paddleboats.

...overthrow tyranny. But if you are going to spend American blood and treasure to do all that in places that do not appear to pose a direct threat to the U.S., you had better be prepared to explain what you are doing and why. Successive Administrations during the Vietnam War were unable to do that. So, for the most part, were Albright and Clinton. Unless George W. Bush is extremely lucky over the next 15 months, his political future will depend on whether...
Although the policy change now allows students to travel to mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and Toronto, some who intended to pursue grant research in China have nonetheless had to change their summer plans because of the early deadlines on grant applications...
