...superwealthy consumers. Western luxury brands aren't new to India either. In their heyday, the maharajas were enthusiastic customers for Louis Vuitton trunks and Boucheron and Cartier jewels as well as Osler chandeliers. What has changed radically is that there is a burgeoning middle class of 300 million people???growing by 25 million each year...
...first thing we have to do is drop the Chosen People??? marketing bit. It's not working. Not only is it not scaring people off as it was designed to do, but it comes off as sort of arrogant.

...melatonin supplements really help people??sleep? Millions of jet-lagged and sleep-deprived Americans--citing countless self-help articles--insist they do. But the scientific evidence has been slim. There's no question that the hormone helps the brain tell a.m. from p.m.--regulating sleep cycles and circadian timing--when it is produced naturally by the body at night. What was lacking was clear evidence that taking melatonin in supplement form had the same sleep-inducing effect...
