...Finally, passenger trains have also been increased in length. Until a few years ago a typical train had about 15 carriages. IR officials discovered that a passenger-train journey could earn a profit with 24 carriages, which became the target length. By pushing the "quicker, heavier, longer" mantra, rail bosses have also been able to improve services. For example, in 2006 IR began offering special express trains on certain routes such as the run between New Delhi and Agra, home of the Taj Mahal.

Call it a feminist soap opera, then, which is not the contradiction in terms it might seem. Feminism gave us the mantra "The personal is political." And that can cut two ways.

Unaligned pollster Whit Ayers notes, however, that the Clinton-Obama clashes have "tapped into racial fault lines," something missing from the anti-Mitt sentiment. "It doesn't tap into anything larger," says Ayers. "It's just personal...
...periods well for the first time in a while.” “[This was] one of the only games all year we played a full 60-minute game,” Taylor’s co-captain, Dave MacDonald, said in agreement. As the 60-minutes mantra necessitates, Harvard came out swinging from the very beginning against the Big Green. As the defense killed a couple of penalties early, the offense was able to put together a series of quality scoring chances. And while Dartmouth goaltender Mike Devine was able to keep the game scoreless until well...
