...lifetime: a tip-off about the location of Ganesh Gaitonde, India's most-wanted gangster. By the time Singh gets to him, though, Gaitonde is dead, apparently by his own hand. Now Singh has to find out why-a quest that leads him into a murky labyrinth of pimps, Pakistani agents, Bollywood starlets, new-age gurus and would-be nuclear terrorists. Like the city it's set in, Chandra's epic is sometimes slow moving and occasionally overambitious; but like Bombay, its flaws are outweighed by its virtues.

Barrett required students to attend an on-campus debate on the Arab-Israeli conflict he organized between a Muslim cleric and a Jewish rabbi. In another assembly, Pakistani and Indian students explained the sources of ethnic tensions in the Kashmir region, and plans are under way for Farmington's exchange students from Macedonia and Bulgaria to discuss the conflict in the Balkans...

The most popular show among white viewers, it was a distant runner-up among blacks, and minorities criticized it for having all white stars and portraying people of color as stereotypes or buffoons (the Johnnie Cochran--like lawyer; Babu, the Pakistani restaurateur). Did the critics have a point? It's going to be hard to look the same way, say, at the episode in which Kramer inadvertently dresses up like a pimp...
...student group, Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (I.J.T.), whose goal is "training the young generation according to Islam so they can play a role in Pakistan's social and political life." But what about the country's economic life? The vice chancellor of this university - as in most other Pakistani universities - is a retired general lacking an academic background. There was a time when Arab Muslim countries led the way in advancing knowledge in literature, astronomy and mathematics. Islam was not considered inimical to such advancement. Sadly, Muslims have been in a deep slide since then. Kangayam R. Rangaswamy Waunakee, Wisconsin...
