Descripción: WITH the historical description by Kenneth T So in "The Khmer home in Southeast Asia: A Wider View", (Post August 6-19, 1999).

Descripción: YIMSUT RANACHIT: But it was not meant to be. We were still under Angkar's strict rule, unfortunately.

Descripción: Given the burden of evidence, it was impossible not to agree with Hanoi's assertion that "In Cambodia, a former island of peace...no one smiles today.
