...Vietnamese have reversed Pol Pot's most radical policies, allowing some Cambodians to return to the villages and cities from which they were banished as a result of the Khmer Rouge's forced resettlement of farmlands. Hanoi has also allowed a number of activities that were strictly forbidden under Pol Pot, "such as falling in love, taking a little time off from work, and dancing," says Labbe. "There are even some private barbershops and ladies' hairdressing salons in Phnom-Penh." Electricity was operating in every major city Labbe visited. "It seemed strange to be spending my nights...

In an effort to bolster the few weak spots on its schedule this fall, ABC broke one of TV's sacrosanct laws: it moved winning shows to new time periods. Such traditional Top Ten hits as Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy have all suffered from being shifted. Some have at times fallen to the bottom half of the Nielsen chart.
