...would have written sooner to thank you for Jake Brackman's sketch of me but I have had my hands full trying to persuade by tailor not to sue the CRIMSON for libel.

...INDIA AND PAKISTAN are rent by the ancient hatred between Hindus and Moslems. In 1947, after the British withdrew, 750,000 members of both faiths slaughtered one another. India's Moslem minority and Pakistan's remaining Hindus still lead fear-filled lives, saved only by the knowledge that each side holds hostages from the other; each regards the other as a more immediate menace than Red China.
