...upon a former girls' school, bare except for the rusted beds on which Pol Pot's men interrogated victims, and the U.S. munitions cans they used as toilets. Display cases are littered with the hoes and shovels and iron staves they used to brain people to death; along the walls, hundreds upon hundreds of black-and-white faces stare back at you, dazed or terrified, recalling the people, often children and often themselves Khmer Rouge executioners, who were executed here.

The best financial news I?ve had lately was that I never found the money to buy stock in AOL (battered along with the rest of the techs last week, it hit 77 Thursday, down from 170 in April). Risk capital? It's tough enough to find rent capital, and I?ll bet, boom or no boom, that...
