Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips The Way You See Things clipped by: ninadalton Clip Source: 1x.com The Way You See Things by david smith I took these pictures in May 07 during a four day stay in Hoi An, a town on the East coast of Vietnam.

Bill Ayers is now an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His wife, Bernardine Dohrn, teaches at Northwestern University. Todd Buchanan for The New York Times, 2001 In the stark presentation of a 30-second advertisement or a television clip, Mr. Obama?s connections with a man who once bombed buildings and who is unapologetic about it may seem puzzling. Federal riot and bombing conspiracy charges against him were dropped in 1974 because of illegal wiretaps and other prosecutorial misconduct, and he was welcomed back after years in hiding by his large and prominent family.
