Hi Folks,

The summer issue of Horizons, a magazine founded and run by a group of
Vietnamese students and young professionals has been published.  For
those who have seen the first issue, the second one is an enormous
improvement in terms of quality of the contents, the layout, and the
"intended direction of the journal" (Vinh Nguyen, cont. editor).  The
professional appearance of the recent issue epitomizes a leap in
progress of the journal and demonstrates the increasing dedication of
the writers and editors.  If you care to explore the new manifestations
of youthful thoughts, to contemplate and provoke analytical thinking,
and to consider a serious forum of discussions of issues relevant to
the new Vietnamese Americans, you've gotten to see for yourself what
Horizons has to offer.  If you are interested in obtaining a copy of
this second and future issues of Horizons, please contact Huy Thanh Cao
(editor-in-chief) at 

htcao@cirrus.com 

Following is a table of contents (compiled by Huy T. Cao) for those who
are interested.  Hope you join us in our new and exciting adventure to
expand new horizons of Vietnamese thinking.
