...despite a Cambodian government demand at week's end flatly that all Communist troops leave within 48 hours. Cambodia, of course, lacks the muscle to enforce that order. In any event, whoever was behind the riots, it is clear that both Sihanouk and his government's leaders view the Communist presence as the unpleasant new reality of Southeast Asia...
MANAGEMENT HABITS: Executives could surely re-examine some time-hallowed rules, with a view to eliminating make-work and Parkinson's first law ("Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion").

...added a new depth of characterization to his art, making the figures seem more real and all the more ridiculous. There followed works in linen and shiny vinyl, a material that marvelously captured the slick airs and plastic emptiness of city sophistication. The aluminum sculptures reflect a more tender view of human nature. Several celebrate the joys of parenthood. Women, too, appear in a more sensuous and loving light...
