Even in the best of times, communication of any sort tends to be a chancy matter in Southeast Asia. This week's story of the coup in Cambodia posed its full share of problems for TIME'S correspondents. By good fortune, we already had T.D. Allman, who is normally stationed in Laos, on the scene, but he was in Phnom-Penh, the Cambodian capital, in the wake of anti-Communist riots the week before.

In offices bound by stylized procedures, says Larrabee, followers of the Protestant Ethic who are more interested in getting work done than in obeying the rules are looked on as "sort of scabs." In self-defense, he adds, they often set up a kind of underground network. "They tend to conceal themselves, but they are in touch with one another, and they know whom they can trust." Such undergrounds also operate in government. Harlan Cleveland, an Assistant Secretary of State during the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, once...
