Her mission is to help the homeless and links to a Las Vegas web site aptly named www.streetteens.org . “There are 400 teens homeless in Las Vegas and 200,000 in the United States of America” she claims.

But why take the risk by traveling to a hostile country that the world isn't getting along with ... Read Full Story

And whereas Laura Ling's book proposal sounds like, excuse us, some craptastic "Sisters are so wonderful" Barnes & Noble checkout line gift special pegged to the fact that her sister works for Oprah, Euna Lee's book will...
