...with a girl from the higher Mastoi caste, and Mai was chosen to bear the punishment for her family. Victims of such assaults are expected to suffer in silence - or kill themselves out of shame - but despite threats of violence, Mai pressed charges against her alleged assailants, becoming an icon in the fight to eliminate such barbaric tribal customs. (TIME named her one of Asia's Heroes last year for her defiance.) A conventional court sentenced six men to death in August 2002 for ordering and carrying out the gang rape, and Mai used the $8,300 awarded...
...forget the food. Bank Jean Georges at the Hotel Icon, a lavishly restored former bank, sits less than two blocks from Preston Station on the Metrorail. Part of the culinary empire of chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, the restaurant is a temple to gorgeous, delicious food.

It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right...
It’s a made-for-television moment, literally. Since the Woman of the Year award’s earliest years, the double-kiss shot has served as the Hasty Pudding’s unofficial icon. In the center, the celebrity, an entertainer whose living depends upon her ability to perform. On either side, two lucky undergraduates dressed in drag, a sham imitation. The shot juxtaposes beauty and the parody of beauty, the academic and celebrity worlds, the fake and the real...
