Another great Under My Hat ('Nepal's zoological society', #267). The line about Mountain Guerrillas '...where their numbers are in decline because the species is known to devour its own children' struck a true and sad chord and corroborated Suchana Oli's story in the same issue ('Tortured by both sides'). I shake my head in pathetic disbelief at what Nepal is doing to itself. There were periods when I felt Nepali Times seemed to have lost its edge, but it appears to be back up to the early days when I couldn't wait to get hold of it on Friday mornings. And don't stop the golf column!
