There is a wonderful range to Robb's work; she's testy and vulnerable, patient and impatient, hopeful and despairing always fiercely committed to exploring the ambiguities of her still-forming character.

The benefit that these groups could have on students will...
...dispute over Kashmir, and that the two countries "can wait" to resolve their impasse at a later time. "That is a situation we can agree to disagree [on]," he told a TV reporter last week. "Countries do, we have positions, you have positions... We can wait. We can be patient till everybody grows up further."
