...Send in the Cows One way to improve bilateral ties is to expand legal trade between the two countries and promote the development of the border areas, which would reduce the incentives for both smuggling and illegal migration. To do that, India would have to rethink one of its most deeply held beliefs: the sanctity...
...cattle exports are a constant source of frustration within the BSF. The cows that are seized are auctioned off at customs depots, and usually bought by the same smugglers, sometimes three or four times. Moving a cow from one end of India to the other is perfectly legal, but it becomes contraband as soon as it hits the border.

Elsewhere in this same stretch of border are villages that simply refuse to accept the lines drawn by Radcliffe's pen. New Delhi backs those that want to stay in India, despite the legal claim of Bangladesh, and Dhaka does likewise.

The chapter on polygraphs, their use by federal agencies and their place in the American legal system is particularly comprehensive, but the underlying conclusion that polygraphs are generally more reliable in the detection of lies than behavioral clues undermines the whole first half of the book and fails to make substantial ties with this foregoing section outside of that comparison.While Ekman’s core ideas are interesting...
