After destroying the tent and gobbling up the food supply of frozen seal and whale blubber, the bear poked at the sleeping bag with his snout and turned it over while Uemura burrowed deep inside, then wandered off.

In a characteristically flamboyant maneuver to steal the presidential show, Indira Gandhi appeared across town to harangue 5,000 people assembled under a vast, multicolored tent. Ostensibly, the meeting was a convention of India's Congress Party. In fact, it was a gathering of party rebels reinforced by a motley crew of men hired to provide applause for the discredited former Prime Minister...
