...company commander in the Khmer Rouge with a pistol strapped to his hip, fighting the U.S.-backed government of Lon Nol. He survived the war although he lost his left eye, and he then fled to Vietnam to escape bitter purges by an increasingly paranoid Pol Pot.

...Berlin, and a Miramax film, The Harmonists (already a hit in Germany), both opened last week. Another show, Veronika, der Lenz ist da (named for one of its hits), has run in Berlin for more than a year. Barry Manilow is fine-tuning his own musical, Harmony, with an eye to a Broadway opening next year.

And more Americans can relate to Shakespeare's pursuit of Viola de Lesseps rather than perhaps the pursuit of Christopher Marlow, Shakespeare's authentic friend and literary rival.
