...Gandhi keeps her promise to lift the emergency soon, her "preemptive strike" against her opponents may be rather quickly forgotten-if not forgiven. Theoretically, she will need parliamentary approval to extend her extraordinary powers beyond two months-something that would not be difficult since her Congress Party holds 355 of the 516 seats in Parliament. The question, though, is whether the people of India, who have considerable pride in their nation's democratic traditions, would accept a new political system that would allow her to keep so much power in her own hands...

Some of the 6,000 vehicles are arrayed in neat rows that seem to curve off to the horizon; others swarm and cluster like a plague of monstrous locusts. Spread over 2,500 acres is an air armada that seems big enough to start World War III or, judging by the vintage...
