...recent anti-terrorist image was a calculated one. After 9/11, the topography of Pakistani politics dramatically changed, and Islamist political parties grew powerful by feeding on local anger against the pro-American stance of the Musharraf regime.

Aside from the usual (and compelling) reasons to eat without a tray, the list featured some reasons of a lighter nature—for instance, reason number eight: “You’ll practice vital waitering skills by learning to balance two drink glasses in one hand.” While we are skeptical of trayless dining...
