Editor's note: Read Amy Wilentz's September 2007 interview with Benazir Bhutto here.
In history, documents come and documents go. But sometimes one would dearly love to know the exact provenance of a document and see its pages. It was odd to watch Benazir Bhutto's will suddenly emerge this week and, as if her hands were shooting out from her elaborate grave, lay the mantle of the Pakistan People's Party across the unready shoulders of her 19-year-old son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
Strange, too, to see Bilawal's supposedly ailing father, the corrupt and despised Asif Ali Zardari, leap with alacrity to declare the boy too young for the job and to assume the chairmanship of the PPP himself until Bilawal is no longer of "tender" age.
