...there were 20 different sports in the 1964 Olympics, most of them events that Americans had rarely heard of or had forgotten all about. Take field hockey-a Vassar girls' game in the U.S. But when the Pakistanis took on the Indians in the finals, it was the fight for Kashmir all over again.

To hasten integration of the newcomers, some local officials have ordered villages to absorb a fixed quota of the refugees, who come in relentless hundreds each...

Yet their governments piously gloss over the fact that the exodus is in both directions. India talks only of Hindus fleeing Pakistani atrocities, Pakistan of Moslems fleeing Indian hordes...
