Former U.S. ambassador looks back with regret on fall of Cambodia
Twelve helicopters, bristling with guns and U.S. Marines, breached the morning horizon and began a daring descent toward Cambodia’s besieged capital. Forty years later, John Gunther Dean recalls one of the most tragic days of his life – April 12, 1975, the day the United States “abandoned Cambodia and handed it over to the butcher.” “We’d accepted responsibility for Cambodia and then walked out without fulfilling our promise. That’s the worst thing a country can do,” he says in an interview in Paris. “And I cried because I knew what was going to happen.” The pullout, three weeks before the end of the Vietnam War, is largely forgotten, but for historians and political analysts, it was the first of what then-U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger termed “bug-outs.”

Neighbors relieved as city shutters nuisance house
Needles and broken glass. Naked people showering outside in broad daylight. A woman getting “beaten by eight people with sticks over stolen peanut butter.” Those are just a few of the problems neighbors of a West Central house say they’ve put up with over the past three years. But 2332 W. College Ave. has been quiet since Thursday, when Spokane officials boarded up the house after a judge signed an order declaring the property a drug nuisance. The owner, Janette Johnson, 52, was taken to jail after police found a syringe with heroin on the premises.

Study says ocean acidification led to mass extinction
If you thought the worst extinction event on the planet was the one that killed the dinosaurs some 66 million years ago, think again. A far worse event, the Permo-Triassic Boundary mass extinction event, happened some 252 million years ago, and over the course of about 60,000 years is thought to have wiped out more than two-thirds of land species and more than 90 percent of marine species on Earth. Scientists have debated exactly what caused this devastating die-off. Now, in a new paper, a team led out of the University of Edinburgh has found that there were two major phases to this extinction that acted as a one-two punch to wipe out most living things.

Pakistan votes to sit out Yemen fight
Pakistan’s parliament voted unanimously Friday to stay out of the Saudi-led air campaign targeting Shiite rebels in Yemen, offering instead to mediate a solution, in a blow to Saudi Arabia’s attempts to build a Sunni front in an increasingly sectarian conflict. Pakistan’s decision is unlikely to greatly affect the Saudi-led coalition’s military capabilities.
