Maobadi in Power, Formally So
Maoists have, in deed, reached the parliament. No doubt about it. They are on the way up, not down (Ukalo not oralo; see adjoining pic). Once ruthless killers and now increasingly peace-loving do-gooders, Maoists constitute 25 percent (count 83) of the 330-member Interim Legislature-Parliament. Whether you like them or hate them, the maobadi are in power now. But the question for the future is: Will they claim all the power for themselves (all authoritarians do) or share it with others as well (most good democracts would do so). • Parliament dissolved, new assembly to meet Monday, San Diego U Trib
