This year India's tea industry has finally begun fighting back. The central government has promised $1.16 billion over the next 15 years in loans and subsidies for new, more productive plantings. Copying the clever marketing of tea producers in Sri Lanka and Africa, Indian entrepreneurs have begun to build their own upscale brands. Some producers, meanwhile, are branching out into tea bars for the subcontinent's free-spending young professionals. India's tea producers may never recapture the glory days, but they'll need a new strategy to survive into the future...
...served a lot of crosses into the box, but none of them were able to connect with a Harvard player. The best work of the afternoon came from the Crimson’s freshmen. Harvard looked most dangerous when Katherine Sheeleigh, Kerry Kartsonis, and Gina Wideroff combined with some clever link-up play. While those three freshmen will be key components of next year’s team, the match was also a chance for the team to say goodbye to its three seniors: Megan Kerr, Michelle Hull, and co-captain Megan Merritt.

Smith ’09 and producer Max A. Hume ’09 made clever use of low-tech stage equipment in the set, designed by Smith and Stephany Y.Z. Lin ’11, and kept the focus on the superb leading actors...
...race plays a significant role in the NYPD’s unwillingness to recognize him as a true threat to the war on drugs and the Sicilian Mafia’s unwillingness to recognize him as a true competitor in the business of organized crime. Ever the clever opportunist, Lucas uses society’s disparaging notions of African-American intelligence and strength to operate below the radar and ultimately manipulate those parties who assumed him powerless. Director Scott (“Gladiator”) uses quick cuts to and from close-ups of Lucas’ eyes...
