- <p> The mere fact that the foreign ministers of some 20
- countries, including the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., are gathered in
- Paris this week to try to end ten years of war in Cambodia
- constitutes something of a breakthrough. Only a few days before
- the conference opened, a parley among the four warring Cambodian
- factions broke down just hours after it began. The talks were
- resumed by the factions -- the country's Vietnamese-backed
- government, represented by Prime Minister Hun Sen, and a
- resistance coalition that includes two non-Communist groups
- under Prince Norodom Sihanouk and nationalist leader Son Sann,
- as well as the Khmer Rouge -- only after they finally agreed to
- sit together at this week's conference under the single name
- Cambodia.

- <p> As the verbal sparring in France heated up, so did the
- fighting in Cambodia. Vietnamese artillery units stepped up
- shelling of rebel positions along the Thai border. Vietnam's
- objective: to make it harder for opposition troops to attack the
- Phnom Penh regime after Hanoi pulls out its forces in September.
