...Letrone, proprietor of Chez Sam in Paris, went to Peking to see one of his oldtime customers-Cambodia's exiled ruler, Prince Norodom Sihanouk. The prince, Sam wrote to France-Soir Columnist Carmen Tessier, "has a solid appetite. His aunt, a princess, simmers up little dishes. To keep in shape, he plays badminton with Princess Monique and his staff. He still composes songs, and during the Oct. 1 celebrations one could hear his latest work: Nostalgia for China, Which Everyone Knows...
...China's astute Premier Chou. Most of China's leaders have been making themselves scarce. Chou has been out in public nearly every day.

Now it seems as if the same role has fallen, unbidden, upon ascetic Premier Lon Nol. Soon after he resigned last month, still semi-paralyzed in the wake of a near-fatal stroke, it became obvious that no one could even come close to forming an acceptable government without his mystically legitimizing presence. So last week, Cambodia resolved its 18-day government crisis by keeping Lon Nol on as a purely symbolic premier...
