...regime (see THE WORLD). But there are limits to U.S. intervention. The White House has no intention of repeating the kind of action that led to the bloody overthrow of Ngo Dinh Diem in South Viet Nam. One possibility is a return to power of deposed Prince Norodom Sihanouk. No one wants this more than Sihanouk, who just arrived back in Peking after a month-long visit to insurgent-held areas in Cambodia, where he tried to drum up support among the various factions. So far, the U.S. has rejected the idea of bringing back Sihanouk...

A Cambodian Air Force trainer stolen by a young officer swooped low over the Presidential Palace and dropped two 500-lb. bombs.

Exiled Prince Norodom Sihanouk, during a visit to Hanoi, pledged that the forces he nominally heads would not start major actions either.

But a defacto cease-fire would give the Cambodians a chance to work out their own arrangement...
...would stop by mid-February. The Cambodian government announced a three-day cease-fire to give the Communists a chance to stop fighting if they wanted to. Cambodian President Lon Nol also made plans to participate in peace talks with the Khmer Rouge Communists and aides of deposed Prince Norodom Sihanouk. The prospects for a lasting peace in Laos and particularly in Cambodia, however, seemed at least as dubious as in South Viet...
