...been a lot of undue controversy regarding the Statistics 100 project that Mark Veblen and I undertook last spring. Our endeavor was gravely misrepresented in Juan E. Garcia and Edgar Salivar's guest commentary titled "The March of La Raza" (Opinion, October 21, 1996), and in an article by Devi Sengupta, a co-president of the Minority Student Alliance in the Harvard Independent (October 3 1996). It is not surprising that both commentaries completely missed the point of our project since neither of the authors asked for a copy of the our report. One would think that at our educational...

After carefully studying the chambers discovered 9 months ago, a multinational team of archaeologists has announced that the rooms prove that ancient inscriptions claiming the site is Buddha's birthplace are true. The inscriptions were found on a pillar at the ancient Maya Devi temple erected by Ashoka, an Indian king who converted to Buddhism and spread the religion...
...Devi, who sued to stop a Toronto Film Festival screening of Bandit Queen, has since settled with the producers and, says Kapur, "now stands by the film." But the Indian government would not grant her a passport to attend the U.S. premiere.
