HUMAN INTEREST ON THE NORTHWEST FRONTIER 



To some, the romance of India's Afghan boundary consists in breakneck rides while snipers shoot from 

 rocky ambush near the Khyber Pass. Others read romance in the stately tread of Bactrian camels, bringing 

 down the treasures of Merv to exchange for the wealth of the Indies. But this old man of Peshawar, clad in his 

 yellow postin, sees romance in the trustful eyes of his gaily dressed grandson.
