Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips They Do What They Gotta Do . . . clipped by: debbyski clippers remarks: But they shouldnt have to do it. Clip Source: www.latimes.com TAN LOC ISLAND, VIETNAM -- Nearly 70 young Vietnamese women swept past in groups of five, twirling and posing like fashion models, all competing for the hand of a Taiwanese man who had paid a matchmaking service about $6,000 for the privilege of marrying one of them. Sporting jeans and a black T-shirt, 20-year-old Le Thi Ngoc Quyen paraded in front of the stranger, hoping that he would select her. "I felt very nervous," she recalled recently as she described the scene. "But he chose me, and I agreed to marry him right away." Quyen has not gotten rich -- her husband earns a modest living as a construction worker -- but the couple have paid off her fathers debts. Poverty and the proximity of foreign businessmen seem to be major reasons for the trend. The biggest complaints come from womens groups, who consider it demeaning, and from young village men for whom the pool of potential brides is shrinking. zum Artikel...

Wet starting was a common practice among young hot-dog pilots. Zuni Rockets Were Volatile Design In McCains case, the wet-start cooked off and launched the M34 Zuni rocket from the rear F-4 that punctured the Skyhawks fueltank, knocked the M-65 1000 lb bomb off its 500 lb rated mount, and touched off the explosions and massive fire.   Tags: mccain, forrestal, wet starts, vietnam war, pow, phil gramm, mia issue, president zum Artikel...
