	Cambodia Tales - Discovering Pailin
		Pailin is for those tourists who want to get off the beaten track to a quiet town nestled in the green mountains.
		The Pailin Casino was supposed to be a much larger resort complex, called the Flamingo Resort, but it appears that the hotel construction at the rear has been stopped due to lack of funds.
		Pailin is trying to become a tourist center, and it should succeed if they manage to open the border to foreigners.

		Pailin, once a Khmer Rouge stronghold, is still run by the former fighters.
		Pailin has kept its own police force and militia from the Khmer Rouge days, though now the uniforms are government issue.
		"Pailin is calm now," says So Sadam, a human-rights worker with the U.N. Khmer Rouge Radio once attacked the "two-headed, three-eyed government" of Prince Norodom Ranariddh and Hun Sen. It has been replaced by an FM station that features popular music, local public-service announcements and even some official news from Phnom Penh.

		In Pailin alone, hundreds of former rebel fighters and their families, decked out in their best and brightest, hovered uncertainty along roads to welcome the march, offering gifts of food, candles and money to the weary walkers.

		Former rebel military commanders in Pailin said around two dozen monks had infiltrated the bamboo curtain and settled in Pailin in 1991, only to be disrobed and forced out of the zone, under new orders from Son Sen in 1995.

	Philosophical Growth, Future Subjectivity, and David Pailin
		In his final paragraph Pailin suggests that the final chapter of Process and Reality may be taken as edifying remarks which if taken seriously would require "a serious revision of some of his earlier remarks." All that need be revised is the impression that the primordial nature was not an independent actuality by itself.
		Pailin’s critique against divine impersonality is well-taken, but I don’t see how it applies to me, once future subjectivity is taken into account.
		Pailin suggests that my basic position could be regarded as Alexander’s, if it were deity that was forever future (cf.
