Ngor, a Cambodian refugee acting .in his first film , won the Oscar for best supporting actor Monday night. Ngor won the prize for his per formance as Dith Pran in “ The K ill ing Fields.” The movie is about the true-life experience o f New York Times reporter Sydney Schanberg and his assistant, Dith Pran, during the takeover o f Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge. Schanberg was able to leave but Pran had to stay. A good part o f the film is about Pran's horrifying work camp ordeal and eventual escape. Ngor, who was a surgeon in C am bodia, was also sent to a work camp. It was a sentence o f death for many Cambodians: those who escaped being shot by their Khmer Rouge captors often died o f starvation.

An estimated 2 million Cam bod ians died in a 2-year reign o f terror conducted by the Khmer Rouge led by the fanatic Pol Pot. Apparently, the Khmer Rouge fell they could imple ment their so-called ideal society by wiping out entire scgmer.ts o f the population. Teachers, professors, journalists ind anyone suspected of being sym pathetic with the former pro-Ameri- aui regime were sent to the killing fields. In “ The Killing Fields," the suf fering in Ngor's eyes as he grinds through his daily work camp routine, watching fellow prisoners get picked off one by one, speaks not only for Cambodians, but for all human beings victimized by cruel politics. Ngor's is a rare performance, full of humanity. The irony is that he lid n t get best actor. He was certain- y the star o f "T h e Killing Fields." Now a job counselor for Asian refugees in Los Angeles, Ngor is studying for an American medical li- As your meal planning thoughts begin turning to lighter foods, this attractive entree allows you to bring the seasonal change to your table.
