...relying heavily on Internet and text-message advertising. "My young colleagues who have created this website told me that a political portal without a blog is like a letter without a signature," Advani wrote in his first post, noting that he has campaigned in every national election held since independence. "There's been a very conscious attempt by the BJP leadership to get rid of any perceived weakness on account of age," says Mrug, the political analyst. Even if they don't work as political ads per se, they help establish Advani and the BJP as a party that reaches...
...polling firm Team Cvoter in New Delhi, says that the one thing that young voters have in common is their pragmatism. They look for what he calls "visible development" - a tangible sign of effectiveness - and will reward it at the polls. That was the powerful lesson of local elections held last Nov. 29 in New Delhi.

Thomas, who is being held on $1 million bail, will be arraigned on May 20 for the murders of Sokoloff and McKeown. He does not face the death penalty because the murders took place before the death penalty was reinstated in 1978, says Bengtson, the lead detective on the case. However, if Thomas is charged with subsequent crimes that took place in 1978 or later, the death penalty may be considered. Police feel confident that more victims will be identified. "It's just in its infancy stage, and it's only going to get bigger," says Bengtson. "We're just...
