...possess an unlikely decisiveness. Not since World War II has the U.S. known a war or insurrection that truly, clearly, came to an end-the capitulation signed, the sword surrendered. Not in wars fought: Korea and Viet Nam. Not in conflicts passionately witnessed: Cuba, Hungary, the Middle East, Kashmir. If the Nigerians can resurrect the validity of reconciliation and make a peace that is not war by another name, they may restore an almost forgotten concept to the U.S. arsenal of expectations...
Cloistered Valleys. To his task, Singh brought unique qualifications. His uncle had been court painter to the Maharajah of Kashmir. From his youth, Singh himself had been enchanted by the graceful ancient sculptures of India, photographed them assiduously even as he studied for a diplomatic career. Later, in his diplomatic role, he accompanied the late Jawaharlal Nehru on a visit to Ladakh and there saw paintings and sculptures that few outsiders had ever seen before; and he had comparable luck in Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim. The divergence from traditional Indian art fascinated...

Pakistan and India fought a number of sharp engagements in the Rann in early 1965, but agreed to submit the conflict to binding international arbitration before a larger border war broke out a few months later over Kashmir. The tribunal turned down Pakistan's bid for the area but, in a 2-to-l decision, confirmed its claim to two tiny areas that jut into Pakistan and a small northwest corner where Pakistani officials for years have administered justice to a few nomads. The judges gave...
...lives year-round in hotels, refuses to hire a manager, pressagent or secretary. He entertains in restaurants. "Come, come, come," he urges after a performance, sweeping everybody in his dressing room along, and conducting the seating arrangements like a symphony. At an Indian establishment such as Manhattan's Kashmir, he orders a scorching native dish like shrimp vindalo; elsewhere he will eat ordinary American food as long as it is liberally doused with Tabasco sauce. His table talk ranges knowledgeably over such topics as Kafka, Canadian hockey, the Greek military junta, Malibu real estate, pingpong and yoga...
