...economics are compelling, but it's still been difficult for India's animators to gain the acceptance of clients who don't think of India as an animation center. A.K. Madhavan, Crest's CEO, recalls fruitless sales trips he made to the U.S. in 1999 and 2000. "Had we known how tough it would be to get a breakthrough," Madhavan admits in retrospect, "we might not have kept going." Persistence and a little good fortune helped Madhavan get his big break.

Quit at 60, and you gain three years of life; quit at 30, and it's almost as if you never smoked. Take it from Sir Richard Doll, 91, who quit at 37 and co-authored the original paper as well as last week's update. While 50-year studies are rarities in medicine, researchers...
