India is also concerned by China's burgeoning and secretive defense expenditure, its building of road and rail links along the border, and its "string of pearls" strategy of setting up naval bases in the Indian Ocean. But China has its own strategic concerns, particularly the fact that India is being courted by the U.S. in a strategy aimed at forging a regional alliance comprising India, Japan, Australia and the U.S. To that end, last September, India held joint naval exercises in the Bay of Bengal with the U.S., Australia, Japan and Singapore, soon after China's military exercises with...

Katz ’10, who lives in East Meadow, New York. “It’s an inconvenience because the vamoose bus went straight to Penn Station and I could get straight on the Long Island Rail Road.” The missing license is the latest in a series of upsets that the Vamoose company has faced in its campaign to run the Harvard Square to New York line.

All in their early 20s, rail thin and with the prison pallor acquired from long nights spent hunched over monitors, they look like what they are: a bunch of nerds. They refuse to give their real names, referring to one another by nicknames--Blacksmith, Firestarter, Fisherman, Floorsweeper, Chef, Plumber, Pharmacist. All vehemently deny having anything to do with attacks...
...fairness, I suppose that it’s possible for trains to have screwups too—I’m by no means arguing that they are perfect.Train tickets aren’t necessarily cheap either, though I usually save about 40 percent compared to airfare.Worse still, U.S. rail technology is simply pathetic compared to the high-speed rail that exists in virtually every other industrialized country. My train from Boston to Chicago averages about 46 miles per hour--52 miles per hour on the continuous, faster leg from Albany to Chicago. In contrast, the new high-speed Eurostar...
