...women say they envy and admire Rangina. "If my daughters could become like you," Ghotair tells her, "it would be the greatest gift I could receive." In fact, none of the female children in Ghotair's lane attend school. Ghotair's pretty seven-year-old niece, Farzana, has already been promised to a man to whom the family owes $2,300.

The seven-year-old private company has been profitable from Day One, and this year revenues jumped 25%, to $5 million. Holthuis, 48, has raised $6 million to speed development of microscopic beads that release drugs gradually into the body. Clinical trials are slated for spring...
...Deepali was the first victim, killed on July 26. Eight more deaths followed: a nine-year-old, a five-year-old and a 35-year-old woman in August, a six-year-old, a 13-year-old and a 22-year-old in September and a seven-year-old and a five-year-old in November. Four others survived maulings. The number and frequency of the attacks left experts at a loss.
