**************** If the 500 pundits did get approval to come, and it seems real unlikely that things could have come together quickly enough to allow them to come in two weeks, the only thing I can think that enabled this is that Howard Settle personally gave each pundit $10,000 or so to put in their bank accounts (nobody can sponsor or put up a bond for a visa applicant to the USA, the applicants have to pass economic muster on their own) -- $10K in the bank, a year's middle-class income in India, would possibly have overcome State Dept. objections to letting a bunch of poor people who don't speak English into the country. I'm betting it's wishful thinking, or the numbers are real small, like the few pundits who are in D.C.
