...different viewpoint and different time. The first segment, “India,” is a hazy glimpse into the life of India Ophuls, the daughter of Max Ophuls, the fictional former American ambassador to India. “Shalimar” opens with India’s birthday lunch with her father, which shows their somewhat strained but loving relationship. Brief but substantial hints indicate that India was conceived in the eponymous nation by Max and a Kashmiri lover during his appointment. Rushdie develops the storyline of the “India” segment...

...offense needed a score in sudden death to take home third place. Sophomore Chris Ludwick decided to take the matter into his own hands. On a six-on-five after freshman Danny Bilotti drew a kickout, Ludwick scored the game-winning goal, giving Harvard the win on his 20th birthday. Along with a 10-4 win over Fordham on Saturday, the team erased the memories of what could have been a bad season. The team’s shaky regular season had been resuscitated with a two-game win streak two weekends ago, giving the Crimson (8-11) an easier...
