Prodigy needs Europe’s help to realise potential
Telegraph.co.uk – Nov 11, 2006
In the very small pond of US football, he was already the biggest fish around. What makes Adu’s progress far more intriguing than simply being the tale of a gifted prodigy, is that almost from the moment word was out about him, he became the physical embodiment of the commercial desperation to break football as a major spectator sport in America. Nike, anxious to find a home-grown (well, almost) superstar on which to attach their flag, put him on a multi-million dollar contract when he was just 13. Because legally he was too young to do it himself, his mum had to sign the deal. For the company it was a huge gamble. But if this was the Tiger Woods of soccer, they convinced themselves, it would be madness not to have him signed up lock, stock and shinpad. From the moment the contract was inked in, his celebrity was never in doubt.
Vietnamese in US Eye Home Investments
Washington Post – Nov 11, 2006
Eye Home Investments – washingtonpost. — It was not so long ago that people who advocated trade with Vietnam faced reprisals and denunciation by staunch anti-communists in this enclave that’s home to the nation’s largest Vietnamese immigrant community… Many routinely send cash to relatives to help start small businesses in the Asian nation. Such activities have accelerated in recent years as Vietnam’s economy flourished under a 2001 bilateral economic agreement with the United States. Trade between the former foes has grown from $1. 2 billion in 2000 to $7. 8 billion last year. Vietnam, a nation of 84 million people, has Asia’s second-fastest growing economy behind China. As foreign investments surge in Vietnam, some Vietnamese Americans are raising their stakes in the country they fled decades ago.
