Finally. the baby mouthed the food feebly. wheezedand died. That quotation is from a cover article in the August 2 edition of Newsweek magazine entitled "Bengal: The Murder of a People." The article tells the continuing story of the Bengali peoplethose who survived the massacres committed by the rampaging West Pakistani troopswho are now dying from disease and hunger. It tells of how the political strife in this poor Asian nation has led to the wholesale slaughter of one quarter of a million people and the mass emigration of 6 million more to escape the savagery of government soldiers. I quote from this article: Throughout that blooddrenched night and the days that followed. the carnage continued. And the massacres were not limited to Dacca but were carried on throughout the countryside as well.
