Drops of rain are starting to splash on the windows--and she has to get to a rehearsal later for a concert she is giving over the weekend. Only Nguyen Quang Huy is oblivious to the coming deluge. The 21-year-old bar owner and music promoter is shut in a soundproof recording studio in his home, coaching a new band...

This summer, in fact, only one sex worker showed up, a 23-year-old who has stripped at the Palace of Pleasure in Portland, Ore. She admits to feeling awed by the Dumas. "The mind reels--you imagine the women...
...told me about theirs, insinuated things when I evaded their questions. It was great that Charles was always willing to fix my computer for me but it was also vaguely condescending. Plus, who wants to work at a place where people are more interested in what you did last weekend after hours than what you're doing in the office...
