...West has been trying to understand Saddam's psyche for years. A few intimate details have long been observed. Saddam never sleeps in his grand palaces but moves each night to a secret house or tent. He smokes Cohiba cigars supplied by Fidel Castro. He dyes his graying hair black. He walks with a slight limp, allegedly from back trouble, but he looks remarkably fit when seen, usually sitting or standing, on TV. Invariably he now appears wearing immaculately tailored suits in place of the green army fatigues he once favored. Iraqis say he has not worn his uniform publicly...
...Minh City. In his pocket he carried a letter from U.S. officials that stated, incredulously: "You do not have the physical appearance characteristic of Amerasians." That contradicted sharply with what Hien saw in the mirror when he shaved his thick stubble, or looked at the dense hair on his arms and chest. It also contradicted what Vietnamese society saw-and widely disparaged. Almost from the moment he was born, Hien had been reviled as a bui doi or "dust child," the mixed-race son of an American soldier and a Vietnamese mother. He'd been denied schooling and work...
...Hien's gloom that day was interrupted by a soft hiss. He looked up to see a woman in a dark suit, beckoning him to a coffee shop across the street. She had carefully coiffed hair and wore gold rings and necklaces. Her chauffeur-driven car was around the corner. According to Hien, she had a proposition for him.

A week later, Hien found himself with a U.S. immigrant visa...
...consulate staffers, possibly local Vietnamese. Unlike most immigration policies, the Amerasian regulations are designed to be lenient. A visa can be granted to anyone deemed to possess "Amerasian facial features." So it's hard to understand how Tran Van Hai could have been rejected. Dark-skinned with kinky hair and built like a linebacker, Hai, 30, says he's the son of an African-American airman named Mark who lived with his mother in the 1970s. Denied a visa, he went to the consulate to protest-unsuccessfully-and says he was then approached by Phuong. Desperate, he accepted her offer...
...evidence of this." No foreign blood and semen was found on Moxley1s body that would link Michael Skakel to the murder, as the defense consistently argued. Carver too had said that ultra-violet light tests had not found any trace of semen on the victim. A microscopic study of hair samples found at the crime scene showed them to be similar to those of Kenneth Littleton, who tutored Skakel and his older brother Thomas. Littleton had also been the focus of a police inquiry at the time of the murder. Another witness, retired police chief Thomas Keegan, had earlier testified...
