The visa situation seems to have improved beyond all recognition. I was
told that virtually everyone who applied got one, regardless of whether they
had aid. This is borne out by the number of Indian (including a large number 
from Madras) students who arrived at UT a short while ago. I don't know
exactly how many because finding that out would involve an operation on
the scale of calling the cows home across the sands of Dee!

Apparently a new, young consul acted tough to begin with and mellowed 
considerably shortly before the Fall deadlines.
