...days before the killing, the touring trio found themselves constantly surrounded by official silence, subterfuge and surveillance. On foot, even in Phnom-Penh, they were usually flanked by two young men in khaki shirts with pistols tucked into their belts. Often they were not even allowed out of their guest house. On the road, their government-supplied Mercedes 200 sedan was always both preceded and followed by at least a carload of armed guards. Government officials explained that there was a constant danger of assassination attempts on Cambodian officials by "the Vietnamese and their agents" even in Phnom-Penh itself...

Consider a recent black-tie dinner for eight in the Trousdale Estates section of Beverly Hills, where liveried attendants park the cars and the houses are modeled after Tiberius' villas on Capri. The table was authentic Chippendale, the service gold leaf, the goblets and tableware gold. A chamber trio played. Among the guests: a history professor, a concert pianist, the wife of a German philosopher. And beside her: a young actor in a shimmering silk T shirt with a yo-yo appliqued on its front; the guests all deferred to him as he discussed his hit TV show...
