Rukmangad Katawal, who had close ties to the fallen monarchy, was against taking in "politically indoctrinated" soldiers - a clear reference to Prachanda's Maoist brethren-in-arms.

It was well-deserved. Pilch...
...this spring, he will leave behind his sprawling mansion in Windermere, Fla. (recently toured by Pablo S. Torre ’07), forced to content himself with a multi-million dollar condo overlooking Seattle. But, something in this sacrifice has been lost. When Griffey’s more arrogant brethren are turning down $25 million/year deals and wringing team owners for every penny before they agree to play the sport they treasure, it can be hard to identify respectable motives underneath...
