...Like China, Vietnam tolerates religious devotion in churches that are under effective Communist Party administration, but the government appears anxious about the rise of renegade sects. The advocacy group Freedom House recently published "top secret" documents it claims are party directives aimed at suppressing evangelical Christianity, the country's smallest but fastest-growing religion.

The smallest error--such as leaving the tissue in the commode for an extra 30 seconds--can cause dramatically inaccurate results. In any event, blood in the stool is only one of many indicators of a developing cancer--and hardly the most definitive. No home colon-cancer test, no matter how easy...
