...Brother and sister come from the same tiny village in Pakistan's rural Sind province and were raised by the same parents. But they have chosen two radically different paths. Attiya is a poet and women's rights activist. Unlike many Pakistani women, she married the man she loved, the painter Khuda Bux Abro, and is so unconcerned with the trappings of religion that acquaintances sometimes ask if she is even a Muslim. Attiya's thoroughly modern girls, aged 7 and 11, wear T shirts, jeans and short, sleeveless dresses and read Enid Blyton novels and the Guinness Book...

Bhutto's votes came largely from her native province, Sind, where her family retains large landholdings, and from the rural areas of populous Punjab. Naqaz Sharif scored a virtual clean sweep in the largest cities -- Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi -- and industrial areas of Punjab...
...would have a feudal kingdom. Her government appeared to operate largely by petition; she bartered Cabinet seats for increased support in Parliament, and she was unwilling to allow the army, which she distrusted, to interfere in the violent politics of her power base in the province of Sind. While a cordon sanitaire of friends and relatives kept her insulated from critics, she made sure her public appearances received immense media coverage. Like Aquino's, Bhutto's reputation as restorer of democracy and avenger of her father could not withstand her government's weakness...
