...itchy trigger fingers and an eagerness to join the battle--anything would be better than pointlessly sweltering in full battle gear. For Calcutta day laborers and Lahore rickshaw drivers, the unseasonably warm weather meant abandoning the bricklaying or cruising for fares and squatting in the shade of wilting bodhi or neem trees to chat and stoke their suspicion and hatred of their neighboring nation. And for the nations' leaders, India's Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in his New Delhi bungalow and Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf in his Rawalpindi villa, central air conditioning may have alleviated the high temperatures...
...beginning the Buddha found enlightenment underneath the bodhi tree, near what is now Nepal.

Buyers also like the idea of the specialty shop. Bodhi Tree Bookstore, the shop in Los Angeles that was featured in Out on a Limb, the TV-movie version of Shirley MacLaine's autobiography, is a pit stop for New Age readers who find that titles like Where Are You Going? help them get in touch with their feelings. The National Intelligence Book Center, which only the most persistent sleuth can find (in an appropriately nondescript Washington building), confines itself to publications on spies and spying; the customers, insists director Elizabeth Bancroft, are mostly professional spooks, who practically need...
