As an added fillip, she promised to set up separate judicial and executive systems for the Sikh and Hindu states...

...Problem of Confidence. Nearly a fifth of the SBA's loans so far have been made in the New York City area, helping hundreds of formerly long-term unemployed relief recipients to become owners of beauty parlors, record shops, Laundromats, and even small factories.
