This week's NYT Magazine's cover
story is on Pakistan. Nice article, written with just a trace of
nonchalance about the sheer absurdity of things. Read the whole thing- its
quite enlightening with lots of interesting tid-bits. For example, MMA, party
of the mullahs, managed to get a "book" as their election symbol and
proceeded to tell voters that their choice was to vote for or against the
"Holy Book".
