    » When US President Richard Nixon embarked on his historic trip to China 40 years ago, he could not have imagined what his gamble would unleash.

    PM and issue of probity

    News, Published on 22/02/2012

    » You have chosen to include a number of letters in Postbag condemning the Democrats for sullying Yingluck Shinawatra's reputation as a woman. Yet your concurrent article, ''Tis not the season to be jolly for Yingluck'' (BP, Opinion, Feb 20) states precisely why so much more than her gender is involved.

    Don't hide life

    Life, Boaz Zippor, Published on 22/02/2012

    » I love my neighbourhood. I really do. The bible says love thy neighbour, but I prefer to love my neighbourhood. It is not the best neighbourhood in Bangkok. Far from it.
