...difference it would make to the election, the Pandit might perfectly well have stayed at home. There was no doubt whatever that Nehru's Congress Party would hold its comfortable majority in the soo-seat Lok Sabha (India's lower house of Parliament). The three main opposition parties (the rightist Jan Sangh, the leftist Praja Socialists and the Communists) had not put up enough candidates to win even if they swept the field...

By airplane, ferry, small boat and (in far-from-rare emergencies) Coast Guard cutter or seaplane, Dr. Heath brings a frontier brand of modern medicine to the islands' 7,000 residents and summer visitors. He is the only doctor in the islands and one of the most remarkable G.P.s anywhere...
