...Bhagat recently for dinner in Mumbai. He brought with him his assistant, a chatty, young aspiring actress whose main responsibility is answering the thousand or so fan letters he receives every week. They were preparing for his next speaking engagement, an address at a university in Baroda in western India where he expected a crowd of at least 8,000. It is hard to imagine any author - besides, say, J.K. Rowling - as the object of so much adulation. In his rumpled white shirt, and with a slight paunch and wire-rimmed glasses, Bhagat looks much more like an overworked investment...

By the time I’d signed away my summer I was already playing the fond...
...only focus on Stevens' venality is to miss the deep - and requited - love he had for his constituents during his more than 40 years in public office. Don Mitchell, an Anchorage attorney who for years was the Washington, D.C., council for the influential Alaska Federation of Natives, is no fan of Stevens' politics. But he called Stevens a "stalwart friend" of the 100,000 Alaska natives. For three decades, Stevens made a point of channeling appropriations to fund projects that mattered most to the state's native communities.
