Sometimes Chopra sounds like a naive prince, eagerly ruminating age-old spiritual questions as if for the first time. While covering Hurricane Floyd in Florida he asks, "When you strip away your address, your inheritance, your job, your diploma, your credit cards, frequent flier packages, and your various PIN numbers, without all those things telling you who you are, are you able to find a true identity for yourself?" Yet, at other times he sounds like a humble pauper becoming a fully empowered man. "I seldom go to places to do stories without some element of fear inside me.... But the fear I feel in Pakistan is different. It stems from confusion, not only about who I'm going out to talk to, but who it is I am myself. I feel I am wearing two badges in particular--I am an American, I am Indian--and neither is welcome in this strange place." Although his dispatches aren't tightly connected, this roaming reporter does connect readers to a global network of fascinating and highly spiritual thinkers--not in the lofty monasteries or holy sights, but in the trenches of war, terrorism, disaster, and despair. And for this we thank him. --Gail Hudson
