With Views From the Inside, an Activist Challenges Vietnam’s Rulers
HANOI, Vietnam — As Nguyen Quang A dressed the morning last week when he was to meet with President Obama, he was pretty confident he would never make the session. The president, who had agreed earlier to a contentious weapons deal with the country’s leaders, wanted to speak with leading Vietnamese democracy advocates, among them Mr. Quang A. Mr. Quang A went ahead anyway, choosing his best suit and a fresh shirt. He uploaded a photo of himself in his smart attire to Facebook. Then he stepped outside onto a narrow street in the Vietnamese capital. “I went out at 6:22 a.m. At 6:25 I was arrested,” he said. A phalanx of security men shoved him into a car and slammed the doors. Mr. Quang A was isolated inside with two plainclothes police officers and a driver. The windows were tinted dark, and the license plate was covered. It was, Mr. Quang A said later, a “moving prison.” They drove for the next seven hours, first to Hung Yen, a city of historic temples east of the capital, and … [Read more...] about With Views From the Inside, an Activist Challenges Vietnam’s Rulers

Discovery, gave his address inside the stadium. Thousands of graduating students, family members and educators attending the graduation ceremony had to walk by the protesters to enter the stadium.

Inside the last liquor store on San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers route
Bay to Breakers is a two-headed beast. There’s the 7.46-mile footrace that draws elite athletes from around the world to wake at dawn and speed across the city, and there’s whatever’s happening outside this liquor store on Divisadero and Fell Street at 10 a.m. A belligerent green M&M cries into her phone while spilling vodka on the sidewalk, as the Pope and Jesus make out nearby. At 8:35 a.m., Colin Bennie won the men’s race, finishing in 35 minutes and 49 seconds. He may go on to run the New York Marathon in the fall, or even compete in the 2024 Olympics in Paris. At 10.15 a.m., a naked man in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles body paint nearly fell off the roof of a Queen Anne Victorian while screaming along to “Baby Shark.” Who knows what his future holds. I’m posted up at what may be the epicenter of the madness, outside New Star-Ell Liquor store on Divisadero, around halfway along the race. It’s the last liquor store on the route for those who need to restock on … [Read more...] about Inside the last liquor store on San Francisco’s Bay to Breakers route
