...coming of independence, which might have been expected to bring Indians together, instead exacerbated the problems of its linguistic, regional and religious animosities. In Indian parlance, the feuds are lumped together under the word communalism. The term once connoted a beneficial form of cooperation but in the last decades of the British Raj came to mean precisely the opposite. Communalism has long been one of India's paramount concerns, and there is every indication that the process of fragmentation is speeding...
Their cadres had earlier spread word that 21 government troopers would die -one for each of the guerrillas slain in the January encounters. Brigadier General Vicente Raval, who commands the Constabulary, put his forces on alert. But within hours, a band of about 20 Huks ambushed a twelve-man government detail, killing two and wounding nine. Three days later, another group shot up an army Jeep. A lieutenant and two other soldiers died in the fusillade; the lieutenant's four-year-old son was wounded, and only one passenger escaped unharmed...

Without speaking a word of each other's language, the odd couple eventually construct a raft and go off in search of rescuers. Stranded again on a different island, they find no one, and wander offscreen...

In this month's issue alone, she gave out the seal to four deodorants; surely her sampling of them puts her at the top of this field. And she has the word on may other, more special, goods too. She seems to be quite up on toilets and their accessories, for example, as evidenced by her granting of the seal to a toilet seat that is "the seat of the in house" and to a toilet bowl cleaner that...
