...seemed to fall in, and there was broken glass all over the place." Caught soon after the explosion, two young Jordanian terrorists proudly owned up to the attack. "We do not deny our acts, " they boasted. "We are hitting the enemy where we find him." In all, they injured three Americans, one Briton and eleven Greeks-one of whom, a 2½-year-old boy, died after a half-dollar-sized fragment was removed from his brain...
...Swiss town of Winterthur, where three terrorists went on trial last week for the machine-gunning of an El Al jet in Zurich last February, an Arab spokesman warned darkly that the Athens blast and the Swiss trial were "all connected." The Arab terrorists seemed totally uninterested in defending themselves. Backed by a claque of Arab lawyer-spectators from Algeria, Jordan, Libya and Egypt, the three denounced their court-appointed Swiss attorney and refused to answer all questions...
Washington's top man in Cambodia is Career Diplomat Lloyd Rives, 47, whose last station was Burundi. A mere charge d'affaires in a country where even the Viet Cong have a full-fledged "ambassador," Rives lives in a three-story rented house near the brown Bassac River, within sight of grazing elephants.

Rives' posture has been cool and correct. Says one of Sihanouk's French advisers: "America has finally learned to deal with Cambodia with politesse and patience."

The entire nonofficial U.S. community in Cambodia consists of three women who are married to Cambodian husbands and Joe Foggy, a Negro fighter who has been coaching Cambodian boxers for several years. One of Rives' chief tasks has been negotiating a Cambodian claim for $12 million in damages to rubber trees caused by U.S. planes bombing too close to the Cambodian-Vietnamese...
Curiously, some newspapers barely noted the alleged massacre or ignored it completely. Editorial page comment was even slower to develop. The best reporting continued from Hersh. He interviewed three eyewitnesses for a second D.N.S. story on Nov. 20, and he turned up Paul Meadlo for another numbing account last week. D.N.S. passed Meadlo on to CBS for a television interview with Mike Wallace, for which D.N.S. received $10,000 and Meadlo got traveling expenses. For yet another story this week, again sold by D.N.S., Hersh has talked to a returned soldier who describes the killing of a Vietnamese woman...
