...states of India's southern cone, and Warier and Bhushi do most of the cooking themselves. (Both are accomplished home cooks; Bhushi also worked as a part-time caterer while studying for a Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of Chicago.)

The Punjabi militants involved in the audacious assault were linked to groups that once enjoyed the military's patronage, and until five years ago, the ringleader had been among its very own ranks.

...Raising rates would add to the burden on U.S. businesses, particularly small- and medium-size enterprises that account for the majority of U.S. jobs. Higher rates would also make mortgages, credit-card debt and other forms of personal financing more expensive, further crimping consumer spending, which accounts for the bulk...
