...right to the word-India-that both used to share. Pakistani editors practiced Bharatism so zealously, automatically changing the word India every time it turned up, that they would, for example, misquote President Eisenhower as referring to Nehru as the "Prime Minister of 'Bharat.' " The results often got ludicrous. When Hussein Shaheed Suhrawardy visited the U.S. as Pakistan Prime Minister two years ago, Pakistani readers learned that he had been presented with a "Bharati" blanket by a Navajo girl.

Salvatore Casals, should be careful to distinguish between evil and sin, and to depict sin as something more than inconveniently illegal. Worst offenders are those modern films which ignore the existence of sin, but even family life is often dealt with deceptively-and therefore sinfully-on the screen ("Child-rearing is absent from many films, or reduced to a single child...
