Allison flew off to join Frankel in Rome on June 18. She felt sorry for him, she claims. He had sounded desperate when he called her from his Rome hideout, terrified of being alone, eager to engage in idle chat and already growing nostalgic for the life he had left behind. He had grown wistful, coming to realize that there was no returning to his Greenwich mansion and the financial Xanadu he had created...
...exiled long ago, and a visitor finds himself lost in a lightless labyrinth of sorts, in which every path leads to a cul-de-sac. On paper at least, this is a time of hope for ill-starred Cambodia. Last year Pol Pot finally died in his jungle hideout, and just before the new year, two of the last three Khmer Rouge leaders, Khieu Samphan and Nuon Chea, turned themselves in for a while to the government of Hun Sen. The last Khmer Rouge bigwig still at large, Ta Mok, a one-legged general known as the Butcher, was captured...

When leaflets drifted down from U.S. planes announcing the war's end, Yokoi suspected foul play on the part of the Allies. Counting the years by the cycles of the moon and crafting clothing from tree-bark fibers, Yokoi honored his pledge never to surrender. Two hunters who stumbled upon him in 1972 passed on the news of Japan's defeat...
