Hanoi
The SUITE of offices and bedrooms in the Boss Hotel, across a leafy street from one of those sparkling little lakes that decorate downtown Hanoi, doesn’t look much like a diplomatic mission. The half-dozen Americans who live and work in them prefer sports shirts to coats and ties and are sometimes seen wearing baseball caps at lunch. There is no gauntlet of security guards and secretaries barricading the halls—only smiling Vietnamese hotel clerks glad to wave a visitor up to see “the Americans” with or without appointment.
