...society into which the Hindu is born as punishment or reward for the way he behaved in his previous incarnation. Dharma is the grace-or righteousness-that accrues to a man who accepts his karma-ordained condition. Over the centuries, karma has come to mean passive acceptance of hunger, disease, poverty and humiliation on the sweltering, swarming Indian subcontinent. This acceptance of fate, buttressed by the humble self-righteous ness that Indians can adopt better than any other human beings, has resulted in a loss of initiative. Bombay Editor Rajmohan Gandhi (a grandson of the Mahatma) sees India...
...ultimate answer to India's woes. Once it has learned to feed itself, it can then move slowly, sanely toward industrial self-sufficiency. It may take a bolder man than Shastri to carry such a program through. But somewhere among India's millions, among the young who hunger for education and get it, there will doubtless emerge a dynamic leader to rally the nation and lift its spirits-a man who perhaps combines Nehru's flamboyance and Shastri's humility. At that point, hope will return to a subcontinent...

Vicious Circle. This paradox in what Dr. Power calls "the garden variety of mildly diabetic patients" goes part way toward explaining the diabetic's constant hunger: he keeps on eating because insulin tends to stimulate the appetite. This alone would make it hard for him to keep his weight down. But in addition, insulin stimulates the deposition of fat. Physicians insist that adult diabetes can nearly always be controlled by diet alone-if only the patient will stick to the diet. But he rarely does. At Grasslands Hospital in New York's Westchester County, Dr. Charles Weller...
