Even if they had heard of Glitter, they probably wouldn't have associated him with the aging baldy who rented a luxury apartment in Phnom Penh six months ago. Journalists didn't spot him either, although Glitter had dinner at the riverside Foreign Correspondents Club almost every night for three weeks. Without his bouffant wigs...
