Kambodza jäi osaks Prantsuse Indo-Hiinast kuni iseseisvumiseni aastal 1953. Teise maailmasõja ajal aastail 19411945 oli Kambodza okupeerinud Jaapan. Punased khmeerid Punased khmeerid oli Kambodza valitsev poliitiline partei aastatel 19751979, mida juhtisid Pol Pot, Ieng Sary, Son Sen ja Khieu Samphan. Pol Poti reziim oli üks surmavamaid reziime 20. sajandil. Üks nende moto oli: "Sind hoida ei too mingit kasu ja sinu hävitamine pole mingi kaotus." Reziimi juht Pol Pot viis ühiskonnas ellu radikaalset agraar-kommunistlikku reformi, "linnadeta sotsialismi", kus linnaelanikud sunniti maale elama ning töötama ühismajandites ja teistes sunnitöö projektides.

■ YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE My first big breakthrough in life came when I discovered that I could learn anything I needed to learn to achieve any goal I could set for myself. My second breakthrough was when I realized that I was completely responsible for myself and everything that hap- pened to me. No one was going to do anything for me. If I wanted something, it was completely up to me to do whatever was neces- sary to get it. If I had a problem or limitation, it was up to me to solve it or overcome it. I was on my own.

highly reliable cue as to when we will be better off saying yes instead of no. We are likely to use these lone cues when we don't have the inclination, time, energy, or cognitive resources to undertake a complete analysis of the situa- tion. When we are rushed, stressed, uncertain, indifferent, distracted, or fatigued, we tend to focus on less of the information available to us. When making deci- sions under these circumstances, we often revert to the rather primitive but neces- sary single-piece-of-good-evidence approach. l All this leads to an unnerving in- sight: With the sophisticated mental apparatus we have used to build world eminence as a species, we have created an environment so complex, fast-paced, and information-laden that we must increasingly deal with it in the fashion of the ani- mals we long ago transcended. Sometimes the consequences can be calamitous. Remember the FBI's infa- mously misguided assault on Branch Davidian Church headquarters in Waco,
