...mails Zuckerberg supposedly intercepted was between Elisabeth S. Theodore '05, then The Crimson's managing editor, and Timothy J. McGinn '06, a Crimson reporter investigating the Facebook/ConnectU authorship controversy. Both declined to comment on the hacking incident for this post. ConnectU founders Divya K.

...Narendra Modi embodies the incongruities of Indian politics. The three-term Chief Minister of Gujarat has made his state perhaps the most prosperous in a country already tapped for greater and greater growth. Gujarat has been enjoying growth rates of 10% or more (compared with India's range of 8% to 9%), with some of the largest businesses in the country operating in its territory, providing the average Gujarati a mean income significantly higher than the national average.

Weak government: unwilling and incapable. Stop terror. Vote BJP." Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat who has been widely criticized for failing to stop the 2002 anti-Muslim violence, appeared before the cameras to announce an award of $200,000 for the families of those "who have been martyred while fighting the terrorists" and to criticize Prime Minister Manmohan...
...prevailing mood suggests that both parties may be on slippery ground in a country frayed by the ravages of terrorism. The slogan for NDTV's round-the-clock coverage declares "Enough Is Enough," and many see that message as extending to politicians. When controversial BJP leader Narendra Modi offered monetary compensation to all the families of security personnel killed in action in Mumbai, he was firmly rebuffed by the wife of the city's slain antiterrorism chief Hemant Karkare.
