But for some, the divisions of the outside world had already poisoned centuries of harmony. "I feel shaken," said Mohammad Mohsin, the government spokesman and a Muslim. "The community feels deeply wounded." Suddenly in Nepal, isolation doesn't seem...
...reads history like a user's manual--he has finished Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton and is now on to one about Charles Lindbergh--Bush typically seems less curious about people's arguments than their motives for making them.

It's here that we truly slough off our normal lives; we might be journalists, public servants and businessmen out there, but in here we're hopelessly mortal, relying on our guides, ourselves and our next slippery foothold to get us through. Pat and our other guide, Dan, warn us that a fall here almost certainly means death, even as they have to leap onto wet rocks themselves to unsnag the rafts. We pull our little craft on ropes, use them as bridges to clamber over, tugging them as we inch backward along narrow ledges above frothing water...
