Hopeful, Poignant Mood at India-Pakistan Border

By JOHN F. BURNS At dusk every evening, crowds of Indians and Pakistanis gather on either side of a painted line across a narrow road here in Punjab, a region that was divided when British India was partitioned into the separate countries of India and Pakistan. The line, about a foot thick, is called Zero Point, and it marks a frontier that stretches north and south from here for 1,250 miles. (The New York Times)
