And through them, once more we hear, dimly, reminiscently,

through the rushing wind:

"At home children are writing 'essays' about him!"... the

croaky voice singing, "God save our gracious King"... Dyer:

"Sergeant Major --," the Sergeant Major: "Take aim!," Dyer:

"Fire!," the sound of massed rifle fire, screams... "You are

my best friend... my highest guru, and my sovereign lord."

"Who the hell is he?," "I don't know, sir." "My name is

Gandhi. Mohandas K. Gandhi."... the sound of rioting, women's

screams, terror... "Find a child -- a child whose mother and

father have been killed. A little boy... about this high."...

"He thinks he's failed."... "Long live Mahatma Gandhi!...

Long live Mahatma Gandhi!"
