But it was perhaps easier to overlook occasional shakedowns from officials when Vietnam's economy was doing well and incomes were doubling every few years. That's no longer the case.

Harvard’s big game against Cornell is definitely the anticipated contest of the weekend, but the Crimson must make sure they do not overlook tonight’s game against Colgate. Even though Cornell may be the game the fans are preparing for, the Crimson has prepared sufficiently to tackle Colgate, the first obstacle this weekend. “Our immediate focus is on Friday’s night game to make a step...
