HANOI, Vietnam (Reuters) -- Communist Vietnam is giving the hometown of revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh a facelift in the hopes of making it a bigger draw for tourists.
Prime Minister Phan Van Khai has approved the project to conserve Kim Lien village, the central Vietnam birthplace of the president who died in 1969 at 79.

Ho Chi Minh to get faceliftIt's about time! After being dead for 34 years, I'll bet he's starting to look a little saggy.

The headline is misleading. When first I read it, I thought that the old guy himself was going to get refurbished, but when I read the body of the article, it looks like only his hometown is going to get a make-over.

Take more than a facelift, to make him look presentable.

I wonder ...
How would CNN report efforts by the Austrian government to do a "facelift" in the little town of Braunau - the birthplace of another "revolutionary" world leader ...
