Ellis Island and Mormon Church Launch Immigrant Records Database
Ellis Island officials and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints unveiled a database with arrival records for 22 million immigrants who entered New York from 1892 to 1924. The system, 70 percent of all such arrivals, will be usable at the center and online within about a month, enabling printouts, copies of original records, and ship photos for genealogical research.

Vietnam party ousts top leader in landmark change
The Communist Party of Vietnam voted to remove General Secretary Le Kha Phieu and installed Nong Duc Manh, a Tay minority member, as leader. Manh, head of the National Assembly, is seen as a reform-friendly, consensus-driven figure who may ease ethnic tensions amid reforms and protests over poverty. The Central Committee, in a 150-member body, must be rubber-stamped by the congress starting Thursday.
