Couscous night at the Jade Pagoda.

A mutual therapy session for emotionally dislocated correspondents. A station for the dressing of psychic wounds. A trapdoor into trance.

Only the special sadness of the war in Cambodia could have produced couscous night. There was nothing like it in Vietnam.

The Pagoda was on Monivong Boulevard: the city’s main thoroughfare. You had to knock to be admitted, as you did at most Phnom Penh restaurants, and you were then frisked for weapons by a Government soldier. Langford, Feng, Volkov and a number of other correspondents and photographers met there each Saturday, hiring a private room.
