In the Mekong River valley 6,000 peasants, terrified by pirates, put their cooking pots on their backs and, driving their water buffaloes before them, moved toward South Viet Nam. For Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the unkindest cut of all was the charge of "corruption in government" by the progressive opposition, and the cry for a Cambodian Republic.
