Nepalis try to get informed of current events as they read the dailies at a newspaper stand in Katmandu Friday, Feb. 4, 2005.

There's been an editorial about the Himalayan kingdom's sunny winter weather, another about a rat that ran up a cook's trousers, and an article on the dangers faced by the country's river dolphins. But there's been little mention of the royal seizure of power that swept away Nepal's fragile democracy this week and handed all authority to the king. (AP Photo/Elizabeth Dalziel)
