everyone is off participating in incredible adventures, which will soon be reported here.
Don't know if you can pull it off the web, but in the Sunday New York Times' magazine was an article about the Maoists in Nepal.
I always wondered, why pick Maoism? Somini Sengupta's article (WHERE MAOISTS STILL MATTER) makes some sense of it all. I particularly liked the following:
"I asked him [Nepali newspaper columnist C.K. Lal], 'Isn't a Maoist insurgency a bit retro?' He told me to consider medieval Katmandu and the strange and bloody misadventures of its royal court: 'We are living in a time warp. An absolute monarchy belongs to the 14th, 15th century. One anachronism invites another anachronism.' "
