...Tram herself became a national hero, with hundreds of people visiting her grave site and a hospital named after her. For the younger generation of Vietnamese (nearly 60% of the population was born after the war's end in 1975), Tram's ardent accounts of bloody conflict offer a vivid connection to a time their parents find difficult to speak about. Now translated into English as Last Night I Dreamed of Peace, the diaries provide international readers with a Vietnamese perspective of the "American War," as it was known to Tram and her compatriots - a catastrophe that killed 3 million...
Harris tested how the brain responded to assertions in seven categories: mathematical, geographic, semantic, factual, autobiographical, ethical and religious. All seven provided some useful data, but only the ones relating to math and ethics produced results clear enough to give a vivid picture of the way the simple and the complex, the subjective and the objective intertwine.

Tim Roth offers an impressive portrayal of Dominic as he appears at 70 and at 35. Roth salvages the boring intellectual banter...
When I was a kid growing up in Honolulu, Pearl Harbor was a vivid, recurring reminder of Japanese wartime aggression. At 11:45 a.m. on the first working day of every month, a test of the city's air raid sirens would start up and I'd wonder what it must have felt like to hear them whine on Dec. 7, 1941. As a Japanese American, though, my feelings about the attack were always somewhat conflicted...
