PS - this is from 2001!  more Americans are killed in US hospitals every 6 months than died in the entire Vietnam War, and some have compared the alleged rate to 3 fully loaded jumbo jets crashing every other day.2 Widely disseminated quotes include, "medical mistakes kill 180 000 people a year in US hospitals"3 and "medical errors may be the 5th leading cause of death."4 If these inferences are correct, the health care system is a public health menace of epidemic proportions. Seeing White House From a Cell in Hanoiclipped by: JorjorTo endure their long ordeal, John McCain and the other U.S. servicemen held as prisoners of war in North Vietnam in the 1960s developed a number of survival techniques. None was quite as effective as the one former Navy pilot Richard Stratton remembers: "If you kept your mind occupied, you were going to be okay." McCain had the most audacious dream of all, and he shared his vision one day with a group of fellow POWs. "He was talking about his father to us and then he said: I want to be president of the United States. Someday Im going to be president, " Stratton recalls. "If the cell wasnt so small, wed have been rolling around laughing." "We reminded him that he had dug himself a big hole with his demerits in the past and nearly being the bottom man of his class at the Naval Academy," Stratton recalls. "And now he was talking about being president? Come on, John. Get your career straightened out.

Catholics began their protests in December 2007 seeking the return of several properties including the former papal nunciature in Hanoi and also property formerly belonging to the Redemptorists. Negotiations between the Church and the government stalled in February. In August and September thousands of people, some from other parts of the country, joined in peaceful protests at the properties. At the end of September authorities had sealed off the disputed areas. ?Authorities are also using criminal law to stifle free expression of opinion,? Amnesty international continued, stating that four protesters have been detained and charged while numerous protesters have been called in for questioning in recent days.
