...captured 70,000 cows last year - worth about $62 million in Bangladesh. "I'm sure that as many got across," says Ashish Mitra, a former director general of the BSF. "It's a losing battle. Cattle-smuggling is the biggest problem that we have." The absurdities of the ban on cattle exports are a constant source of frustration within the BSF. The cows that are seized are auctioned off at customs depots, and usually bought by the same smugglers, sometimes three or four times.

The stimulus smorgasbord does include some head scratchers, like $246 million worth of tax breaks for movie producers to buy film and $1.4 billion for "rural waste-disposal programs."

One would wish the band had been able to come up with tunes worth humming. The chilled out ending of“Lucid Dreams” slows the album down; it never recovers. The next song, “Dream Again,” is even slower, melodically unremarkable, and serves only as a transition to “Katherine Kiss...
