Abstract

It cannot have pleased Myanmar's ruling family: the collapse of a 2,300-year-old gold-domed pagoda into a pile of timbers just three weeks after the wife of the junta's top general helped rededicate it. There is no country in Asia more superstitious than Myanmar, and the crumbling of the temple was seen widely as something more portentous than shoddy construction work. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
