The People's War in Nepal is surging from one success to another. Since "King" Gyanendra's Feb. 1 decree of emergency rule, any claim to being the sovereign of the Nepalese people has been shown for the fantasy it is.

The Progressive Democrats have been through it all, haven't they? the Ambition of the "mammy" then "granny" Harney's girth has long been measured, and recently swinging big Mickey Mc Dowell did a most uncharacteristic turn around. Will the little party of unwarrented capitalism be stopped at the next election? Do we smell blood? yes - so let's finish them off. Here's your psychological guide:- read full story / add a comment
