...five, to the BJP's parent organization, the secretive Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (National Volunteers Party, or RSS). Modi's 86-year-old mother Hiraben recalls that her son couldn't wait for the moment each day when he could change into his RSS cadet uniform of khaki shorts, white shirt and black cap and snap out smart salutes to a saffron flag. "He'd get up at 4 a.m., say his prayers and do the exercises the RSS had shown him," she says. It was this same focus that would see him leave Vadnagar at 17 to study politics...
...musical talent and right at his ass, which is as goddamn tight as it was 20 years ago, when he released “Runaway.” I love Jon because of the way he looked in painters’ pants in Moonlight and Valentino and in his khaki lieutenant uniform in U-571.

True, on a day-to-day basis, rescuing lost tourists is their primary duty, and most desert policemen are more than happy to pose...
...reach Hospital Street, all is silent. The Palestinians who live in Jenin Refugee Camp shuffle and gawk, still stunned by the battle that wrecked their houses four weeks ago. Only the foreigners move purposefully--Oxfam workers setting up room-size plastic water containers; Swedes and Danes in blue and khaki vests, carrying notepads; a delegation from the German Green Party. They seem to think there's something to be salvaged in the destruction that stretches up the hillside; they seem unable to read the message that this awful landscape writes...
