...that the government's chief aim would be to restore farm production so that Cambodia might be "completely independent of all foreigners." Meanwhile, the ousted President of the fallen Cambodian government, Marshal Lon Nol, was quietly adjusting to a new life with his family in a $103,000 bungalow in suburban Honolulu. At Camp Pendleton, Calif., the man who replaced him briefly as head of state, Saukham Khoy, 60, disclosed that Lon Nol had been paid $1 million by his own government to leave the country on April 1. "It was a good buy," Saukham Khoy insisted last week...
...Surrender. On the fatal Saturday, Aman remained inside his concrete bungalow, protected by a loyal detachment of Third Division troops. "I will never give myself up," he had told a relative a few days earlier. "I will die like a soldier." Some time after nightfall, Fourth Division troops under Mengistu's command attacked Aman's house with tanks, armored cars, bazookas and machine guns, and in the ensuing two-hour firefight the general was killed.

Though he prints a few articles from unpaid contributors, he fills most of the twelve-page paper himself. His wife (and co-publisher) Helen keeps the books and stuffs papers into mailing envelopes at their modest suburban home. He often warns subscribers to "worry about a newspaper when it earns enough for the publisher to join the country club." That is not something that Troy's readers need fear. The Observer lost $18,000 during...
...train speeds on into Massachusetts and its fields and woods. A Zayre shopping center is deserted. Modern bungalow houses begin to appear. The sun is low now, and a girl shields her eyes as she looks at the passing train. Houses appear more frequently, dark-brown tenement houses with broken fences and rusted rainspouts. Shortly the inflexible lines of the Prudential Center appear, and the train glides into Boston's Back Bay. On the left is a series of gutted apartments, their red bricks turned black with age and filth. On the right renovated townhouses line well-swept streets. Mass...
