The copy desk has been busy. A cobra spreads its hood, part of its neck, not its head. Gay life in Laos and Cambodia is pretty okay, not are pretty okay. Yeah yeah.
The copy editor, Bill Ullman, also points out that adapting up and adapting down are among the great pleasures of travel. He recalls the fun of staying with Peace Corps volunteers in their Sierra Leone villages when he worked there in the sixties, and then returning their hospitality by putting them up---on his boss's dime---at the Ritz in London.
Joe and I are in Phnom Penh. We like this place for many reasons, not the least of which is its spelling. The big question here is, do you or do you not visit the killing fields and the museum of Khmer Rouge horrors? They both appear on tuk-tuk drivers' signs listing tourist attractions not to be missed. We're here for just three days, so we have to decide soon.
