More than 13,000 policemen cordoned off the airport and Lahore's main crossroads to keep thousands from welcoming the husband of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Here is Haile Selassie, dwarfed behind a desk only slightly smaller than an aircraft carrier. Here is Sir Sidney Barton, the eccentric British envoy who provided the model for Sir Samson Courteney in Evelyn Waugh's farce Black Mischief. Here are camels and trucks, scimitars and machine guns, lions and airplanes in a clash of politics and, more significantly, of centuries...
