The government surrendered the privilege of habeas corpus, heavily censored the nation's newspapers, and, in some cases, forced them to cease printing; foreign news reports were watched closely and news correspondents found themselves ... writing unfavorably about the political scene. Information about the current political situation grew scarce as foreign academics were denied entrance visas to study contemporary Indian problems. Gandhi jailed most of her political opponents, among them former Deputy Prime Minister Morarj Desai, socialist leader George Fernandes, and dissident L.K. Advani...

Adaptations are a recognized art form. As T.S. Eliot said, "The immature artist borrows, the mature one steals." The trick will be for each playwright and production staff to make the story their...
...loss was not exactly a sweet one for Skidmore, whose antics in the net bordered on the unbelievable for most of the game. Rejecting 27 Harvard shots in the first 40 minutes and 30 in the entire game, the heralded sophomore carried the nation's sixth-ranked team to the brink of victory before relenting under pressure in the final minutes...
