Bangkok diplomatic nightlife, Soviet spies, tranquil Buddhist
monks, Thai princesses, Khmer Rouge, cave temples, cobras, a Nobel
Prize and more fill the pages of Palace of Yawns. When a
29-year-old advisor was posted to Korea by an American foundation
to advise the Ministry of Health on management of the national
family planning program, he developed a breakthrough method
allowing governments to reduce birth rates as rapidly as possible
from fixed budgets. Based on his discovery, the United Nations
recruited him, and from Bangkok he directed a UN program to assist
Asian governments in resetting their demographic goals. Though
eight countries requested the UN to help them implement the
program, it failed to do so, instead turning out a barely read
"study" much later. Palace of Yawns recounts this failure, its
harmful growth consequences, and the amazing year which the
adventurous young advisor spent in Southeast Asia as the Viet Nam
War reached its historic climax.
