Organized by Myrna Balk, a Boston artist and social worker, the show features drawings by Nepalese women, as well as etchings and photographs by Balk that chronicle her experiences in Nepal and the social issues she faced during her time there...

They united to fight the Soviets, and even now a clear distinction is made by anti-Taliban forces between the Afghan Talibans (forgivable) and the foreign volunteers (unforgivable). They're unlikely to balk at small numbers of U.S. special forces pursuing Al Qaeda in the south, but the Northern Alliance has made clear its opposition to an international peacekeeping mission - indeed, pressure from the Alliance appears to have postponed planned British deployments last weekend. Still, many observers believe peace will not last long...
