The situation changed little with the demise of the Soviet Union. This being the case, I was surprised to run into a Peace Corps volunteer named Philip Desautels. Both Desautels and his wife, Michele, are Americans who have abandoned lucrative careers in the United States to pursue, for a year or two, more or less idealistic pursuits in developing nations. I ask why he didn't chose a more lively and accessible location - someplace like, say, Nepal. That all American men are Rambo, and all the women are tawdry sluts.
