» When David Cicilline decided to run for the US Congress three years ago, he was racked by inner doubt. It had nothing to do with his ability, or with his strong commitment to representing his home state of Rhode Island. The doubt was closer to his heart: could an openly gay person win the post?

Downplaying the politics
Life, Yanapon Musiket, Published on 20/09/2013
» Singapore in the early 1960s. Political and racial tensions are escalating as the British prepare to withdraw from one of their oldest colonies.
