I arrived at the border between India and Pakistan on a sweltering May day in 1977. I had spent the past year traveling through Europe and the Middle East, had wintered in Jordan and made my way across Iran by train. After a month hitchhiking through Afghanistan, I was finally arriving in...

I admit it: I make resolutions. I’m one of those people who loves the idea of a fresh start. I regularly resolve to change various aspects of my life, not just at New Year’s, but any time I have an excuse: The beginning of a semester, my birthday, summer solstice. Occasionally, I even keep...
