Once, Bowles publicly and unprofessionally took India's side in the Kashmir dispute, and some critics thought he bent over too far in helping Nehru squeeze as much U.S. aid out of Washington as the traffic would bear.

Gasping for breath, unable to eat or sleep, the 60-year-old man lay in a Scottish hospital moaning: "The end is near. The end is near."
