Key elements of the BJP's right-wing support base, like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu-nationalist volunteer group, "feel that Vajpayee has done precious little to advance the Hindu agenda," says Harish Khare, a journalist at the Indian newspaper the Hindu and an expert on relations between the BJP and the RSS. Ram Madhav, an RSS spokesman, acknowledges some points of friction between his organization and Vajpayee's government. "We have had some reservations on issues, especially Ayodhya," he says...

His mother was surprised--and pleased--to learn his unit is called the Tomb Raiders. "That seems so appropriate for him," she says. Jim, who wants to become a journalist, has sketched characters and fantasy figures since childhood. He's good enough that his training unit at boot camp had him design a bulldog logo for their T shirts.
