...were restored. By week's end, however, the government announced that all foreigners, including newsmen, would have to register with the new authorities and that sensitive areas such as the airport and the harbor would henceforth be off limits. Within the country, news was being carefully managed. All non-Communist newspapers in the capital were suppressed. The city's only sources of information were the government-controlled radio, a new newspaper called Saigon Liberation and a few copies of two Hanoi newspapers...
...Thailand after an arduous, 3½-day truck journey from Phnom-Penh. Mostly French, the evacuees had sought haven in the French embassy when Cambodia's capital fell to the Khmer Rouge and had been virtual prisoners ever since.

At least one influential Tokyo paper, the Asahi Shimbun, believes that the U.S. may be even stronger with...
...soon afterward, at 8 p.m. last Wednesday, the P.R.G. cut off all communication with the non-Communist world except, sporadically, via the Japanese embassy. By week's end the victors' handling of the Western press was looking relatively professional. Unlike the unpredictable and still rather unsophisticated Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, the well-organized, news-conscious P.R.G. quickly established...
