The image of McCain valiantly running to the rescue on a white horse is certainly the fairy tale he hopes to conjure, but, as any child past the age of 10 knows, fairy tales are hardly reality.

Lola arrives in Manhattan expecting--nay, demanding--a West Village apartment and a Mr. Big. Suffice...
...troops, he heard whispered story after story of mass executions of Hindus, college students and anybody suspected of Bengali nationalism. Neighborhoods were gutted as Bangladesh's main cities fell to a fifth of their existing population; 10 million refugees fled west to India. Almost every Bangladeshi household has a tale of loss and suffering. Around 400,000 women, by some estimates, were raped...
