Surprisingly, she doesn't say it very loud. Or make an interviewer feel like a dupe of the Dark Age. Her voice is more like a whisper than an assertive British whine, reports TIME'S Martha Duffy. Seated in a New York restaurant on her first trip to the U.S., she is more apt to fiddle with the silverware than stare down a companion...
...discharge. "You can always sell ties," shrugs his commanding officer, adding hopefully: "I hope we never meet again." His girl friend's father fixes him up with a cushy job as a hotel night clerk, but Antoine gets canned when a private detective (Harry Max) makes him the dupe in a divorce case.

It soon becomes apparent that she is the unwitting dupe in a super-sinister effort to detach the nation's western provinces and thereby create a state allied to the West. (In that, there were striking parallels to an alleged anti-Sihanouk plot of 1959). Among the super-dupers are South Vietnamese intelligence agents, a corrupt Cambodian general, one of Monique's Latin...
