In Cambodia. the cold. calculated. and altogether grisly business of hammering out a "classless society" has involved the uprooting of 3 million residents of Phnom Penh by the Communists to create a "decreed rural society."

No less insane than what Hitler and his legions did. Yet there is a difference.
