Cupped Chin. The next blow fell at the home of a near neighbor of the Prime Minister-India's Solicitor General Hem Nath Sanyal. Late one night four men broke into Sanyal's bungalow and choked him to death with a dhoti, or loincloth. Since Sanyal had been pressing corruption charges against several ministers of Orissa state, members of Parliament cried that his murder must be connected with the investigation-though Delhi's police insisted it was only a robbery attempt...
...level proposition; a two-bedroom flat in a middle-class district markets for $12.000 in Amsterdam, $14,000 in Hamburg, and $30,000 to $40,000 in Paris-not counting monthly maintenance payments.

He was amiable but hardly informative. Would he follow the same principles as Nehru in forming a Cabinet? Shastri blinked, asked slyly, "What was his approach, the late Prime Minister?" Would he engage in peace talks with China about the disputed Himalayan border? "Let me be in office a few days before I answer that...
Grumbling Friend. Shastri is close to his country's mind and soil. He is one of the few Congress politicians not to have amassed a large fortune or property or donations from wealthy businessmen. He has no auto, would prefer to stay on in his tiny bungalow, and still gives part of his salary to the Servants of the People Society, a group devoted to public service with whom he worked as a young...
