...with three DUIs, Harvard probably doesn’t enter the picture. Although Harvard grads run four of the five biggest media conglomerates—Sony (Michael M. Lynton ’82), Viacom (Sumner M. Redstone ’44), Warner Brothers (Harvard Business School graduate Alan F. Horn), and NBC Universal (Jeff A. Zucker ’86)—the movie capital of the West Coast and the academic center of the East Coast seem to be separate worlds...
...Kajee suggests that the places not on Bush's itinerary but nevertheless bearing some degree of a U.S. footprint will also have some impact on how the current Administration is viewed.

"In a film like Rambo, the more he speaks, the less interesting he is. It's much harder to play than Rocky," he says. Milo Ventimiglia, who played Rocky's son in the last movie, says he was impressed with how detail-oriented and self-assured...
...takes nerves of steel to deal with Delhi's unruly traffic, but old localities like south Delhi's Lajpat Nagar can test even the most skilful and gritty of Delhi drivers. After 25 minutes of honking the horn to demand my right of way from intrepid pedestrians and aggressive drivers in cars, two-wheelers, bicycles, auto-rickshaws, cycle-rickshaws and even hand-propelled rickshaws for the disabled, I finally find a parking slot at Central Market, one of New Delhi's oldest bazaars.
