Hanoi radio said the 14th joint search for missing US servicemen began Saturday and is expected to last until Aug. 10. It said the search is being conducted in northern and central Vietnam with 25 American experts. The brief radio item did not say whether the investigation would specifically probe the controversial picture made public last week.
