Indira draws much of her influence from being Nehru's daughter, but she is extraordinarily able and talented in her own right. She has been particularly important to him since his stroke early this year, often functioning as his link with other officials and the world at large.

Its link with the Soviet Union is stated only in the McCarran Act, she said, and this link is based merely on findings of the House Un-American Activities Committee. "There has never even been the slightest attempt to prove the link legally," she insisted; "if we agree on something, it doesn't mean we are taking orders...
