This December has been particularly bad for Delhi's domestic and international airports. An airport radar broke down on December 8 and some 40 flights were delayed. Thousands of passengers were left in the lurch. The onset of winter fog in December has also delayed scores of flights, despite the DGCA's much-publicized installation of the advanced CAT-III system to aid with low-visibility landings. It turns out that many of the new Indian domestic airlines, including some that fly internationally, do not have enough CAT-III trained pilots, not deeming it necessary because foggy conditions occur only...
...swirling snow drifts and blanketing fog of late-December Iowa, this unlikely amalgam of populism, conservative policies and peerless religious credentials appears to have hit a chord.

...here at Harvard, which has long prided itself on piercing the fog of the unenlightened past, this 124-year tradition maintains only a tenuous grasp on our collective imagination. While we certainly pay it lip service—even competing to outdo one another in antipathy toward Yale—the substance of the rivalry has long since eroded. For most, Harvard-Yale has become another mere excuse for collegiate revelry, which even the local authorities have recently conspired to expunge...
