Squabbles over patronage have left many ministerial posts vacant. "I have no time for policymaking because I have no help," moans a minister. One result is that Desai's first budget virtually duplicates that of the former Congress government. Inflation (now 2% a month) and shortages of key commodities (edible...

Both men, however, had one salvo of brilliant shotmaking left in them. Nicklaus plunked his drive in deep gorse along the hedgerows on 18 but managed to punch his second shot into the front of the green despite a restricted swing. He rapped the undulating 30-foot putt into the heart of the cup for a birdie three.
