...village of Chantrea four miles inside Cambodia. Sihanouk called it "savage aggression," reported that 16 Cambodians had been killed. Pleading faulty map reading, the embarrassed Saigon government admitted the intrusion, apologized, and promised indemnification.

One reason for Moscow's reticence: a man named Chou Hsiang-pu was one of Peking's security agents during the 1954 Geneva conference on Indo-China. If he is the defector, he probably has a far more interesting tale to tell Moscow than...
