...fetched as it might first sound. A friend in Karachi - educated, a staunch feminist and usually disparaging of all things religious - invokes a popular ditty every time the game is brought up: "I don't like cricket; I love it," she chants (after the 1978 10cc number "Dreadlock Holiday"). When I interviewed one of the founding members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant group suspected of orchestrating November's terrorist attacks on Mumbai, the ice was broken with a discussion of a cricket match. And when I visited a conservative seminary campus in Muridke, near Lahore, I was greeted with...
...tattooed, dreadlock-sporting members of radical agitprop collective Taring Padi despise materialism, and spend their days producing banners and posters urging social reform in their native Indonesia. It would therefore be a delicious irony if their work became collectable - clucked over in galleries by affluent, Shiraz-sipping dilettantes. But stranger things have happened in the world of art, and the group - with around 10 artists at its core - now finds itself enjoying a modicum of celebrity...

(2) Don’t wear too short a scarf (see cautionary tale above). (3) Just listen to Corey Hart...
...edge, but in truth the crowd is heavy with folks wearing boat shoes and J. Crew shirts. The overflow throngs at the Austin expo are emphatically not wearing sarongs, and they don't have full-body tattoos or multiple piercings. There is barely a dreadlock to be seen; the average age of the expo attendee is 38, and the average wallet is fat. After all, this is the same bunch that has caused sales of natural products to rocket from $4.2 billion in 1990 to $14 billion in 1996, and sales of organic foods to rise from $1 billion...
