...last December for a National Assembly to write a new constitution. East Pakistanis gave Sheik Mujib's Awami League 167 of the region's 169 seats-and an overall majority in the combined nation's 313-seat assembly chamber.

Despite the primordial trappings, this virtual dumb show is as contemporary as tomorrow's bombing raid. It is a cantata of death, an immensely sad and strangely affecting tale of the wartime slaughter of innocents...
