Even when our press has been particularly partisan or else heavily committed to background and interpretation, the demand for unadorned facts has rarely slackened. This taste was reinforced by our pioneering social science surveys of the early 20th century and it was further elaborated in the 1930s by a series of innovative photographers and cinematographers.

Sanjay's political enemies-and even some of his friends-have begun to refer to him as "the crown prince." Veteran Indian politicians are treating him with the deference due a young man who happens to be the likely heir to a political dynasty.
