History & Amazement
Vietnam refugee Anh Cao defeated William Jefferson in Louisiana for a seat in the 111th Congress. Jefferson, a Democrat, had served for nine terms and been found with $90,000 in his freezer (9 must be Jefferson's unlucky number); the FBI is still investigating.
In the meantime, Cao, only recently declaring himself a Republican after years as a registered Independent, came to the U.S. as an 8-year-old refugee, and is a community activist attorney with a love for philosophy.
