In this collection of nearly 200 articles, reports, commentaries and analyses, Sethi discusses a wide range of issues relating to state, society and government under the Nawaz Sharif regime from 1990 to 1993. Among the many subjects covered are: mockery of justice and judiciary under pressure; the "law of necessity"; state terrorism; humour in uniform; thinking beyond Saddam; privatise or perish; cold war blues; Nawaz Sharif's options; freedom, fairness, state and party; disintegration of the social contract; the rise of Nawaz Sharif; India's dangerous legacies; waylaying the press; the price of press freedom and accountability; the "great game" revisited; how the other half dies; US-Pak agenda for nuclear talks; art of stealing elections; dialoguing with India; unravelling Afghanistan; grasping cynics and power plays in Islamabad; Benazir Bhutto's social contract; "cleaning-up the fanatics"; killing fields of fundamentalism; how and why to get rid of the 8th Amendment; third force vs third solution; the tragedy of General Asif Nawaz; Establishment vs Civil Society; Discretion vs Justice; Nawaz Sharif's Lafafah legacies; and grand delusions of Mairaj Mohammad Khan and Rao Rashid. The writing is full of sardonic humour, wit and penetrating analysis. 505 00 $t Bhutto deserves another chance $t Settling accounts -- $t One step forward, two steps back -- $t A poisonous concoction -- $t At home abroad -- $t The killing fields -- $t Game plan to endgame -- $t You can't shoot the economy -- $t Losing out on history -- $t Pakistan at the stake of accountability -- $t Voice of Pakistan -- $t Uncle Sam tests the waters -- $t Facing reality -- $t A diet for Pakistanis -- $t Mockery of justice -- $t The judiciary under pressure -- $t State vs. the rest -- $t Loading the dice -- $t The law of necessity -- $t Cold War blues -- $t Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't -- $t Foul is fair -- $t Nawaz Sharif's options -- $t Shaking them off -- $t Freedom, fairness, state and the party -- $t Playing with fire -- $t Who's in charge?
