Letters to Hanoi pile up in Paris cellar
A Paris cellar holds over three million unopened letters and petitions from Americans urging better treatment of prisoners in North Vietnam.

The Hanoi delegation rarely accepts the appeals, directing most to the Pantin warehouse where the pile grows larger daily.
