Until such action is taken, residents, of Briggs Hall and other Quad residents can do nothing more than hope for temporary fixes to the crumbling walls, leaky ceilings, and inadequate electrical and plumbing systems that threaten to reduce life off Garden Street to a never-ending hassle...

All that those mullahs and ayatullahs seemed to want was to make trouble and pray. Naipaul's report on this journey was written more in anger than sorrow, and the formula that he had earlier used to criticize Argentina (The Return of Eva Perón) or his ancestral homeland (India: A Wounded Civilization) began to seem a trifle predictable: the author regrets to find yet another swatch of the Third World behaving in veddy...
