Welcome Presence. It is possible that the cagey Prince gave the riots his tacit approval as a way of putting pressure on the Communists to reduce their forces in Cambodia. Sihanouk gave some support to that theory in an interview in Paris with TIME Correspondent Roland Flamini. Preparing to depart for home via Moscow and Peking, he said that he would ask the Russians and Chinese "to exercise friendly pressure on the Viet Cong and Vietnamese not to infiltrate our borders."

It is good to have him back...
...collection of seven poems commissioned by Holiday magazine, some of which have also been published in his homeland. Evtushenko writes sadly of a trip to an Alaska fur farm (He who's conceived in a cage will weep for a cage); sharply of famous people (Allen Ginsberg-cagey prophet-baboon -thumps his hairy chest as a shaman thumps a tambourine); sentimentally of his visit to a steelworker's home (I love America, the America who now sits with me). His distaste for immense, impersonal bureaucracy is suggested in Cemetery of Whales...
