The chapter on Laos was first published as “A Visit to Laos” in The New York Review of Books, 23 July 1970. 4 These articles appeared in Le Monde from 3 to 8 July 1968 and reported on Decornoy's trip to Pathet Lao strongholds in northeastern Laos. Also see J. Decornoy (1970) “Laos: The Forgotten War,” Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars, 2, April – July, pp. 21 – 3. 5 See T.D.

Nixon stated, “… I want a plan where every goddamn thing that can fly goes into Cambodia and hits every target that is open.” He added, “I want everything that can fly to go in there and crack the hell out of them. There is no limitation on mileage and no limitation on budget.” (“Mr. Kissinger/President, December 9, 1970,” Box 29, File 2 (available at http://www.gwu.edu/∼nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB123/Box%2029,% 20File%202,%20Kissinger%20%96%20President%20Dec%209,%201970%208,45%20pm%20%200. pdf). The Archive is at: http://www.gwu.edu/∼nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB123/index.htm. According to Elizabeth Becker (New York Times, 27 May 2004), Kissinger transmitted this order as “A massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. Anything that flies on anything that moves.” 11 New York Times, 22 December 1965, 17 February 1966 and 19 June 1966. 12 See John W. Dower, Embracing Defeat.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
