...what kind of people rule this country," declared Opposition Leader Morarji Desai, 80, who had been released from prison a fortnight earlier. "It is as important to keep our freedom secure from this type of government as to keep it in the face of a foreign threat." Desai drew a roar of approval when he accused the government of "vasectomizing" democracy-a reference to the strenuous program of birth control by sterilization that has caused riots and resentment throughout much of North India...

Encouraged by such success, Naropa went full time last year with 120 students, nine faculty and 13 staff members...
