Until the 1970 coup d'etat, in which Marshal Lon Not overthrew the government of Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the Cambodian rebel force, then known as the Khmer Rouge, was a ragged band of perhaps 3,000 guerrillas who were affiliated with the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong. Since then, the rebels have grown into a seasoned revolutionary army of at least 45,000 troops, with a solid support cadre of more than 70,000 civilians. Last week, after visiting Phnom-Penh, TIME Correspondent Barry Hillenbrand sent this report on the insurgents...
...often ever to be called "Old." It is a wry paean to a life of crime, and displays a robust contempt for law, order and the encroachments of civilization. Bickford, as dexterously played by Hopper, shows signs occasionally of becoming a kind of surrogate James Dean, a prairie rebel without a cause. Hopper started working in films about the same time as Dean (they appeared together in Rebel Without a Cause), and in rather the same style.

Like pilgrims at a shrine, they inspected the last remnants of Papa Petty's old reaper shed and then repaired to a souvenir stand where they stocked up on Petty postcards, Petty T shirts, Petty racing jackets and Petty plaques. King Richard himself, wearing...
...American eccentric is no stranger to the U.S. stage. One thinks of such plays as The Time of Your Life, You Can't Take It with You and Harvey. The characters in those plays are part rebel and part kook, social dropouts, sort of sacred nuts. The tradition deepens in the works of playwrights like William Inge and Tennessee Williams. Their characters are not so much oddballs as odd souls who suffer psychic and sexual wounds. This is the world of the alienated self, the mutilated heart, the existential transient, moving a playgoer more nearly to tears than...
