...true that India was in trouble in the '60s and '70s. But a prophet?or even a man engaged in standard, well-balanced journalism?might also have observed significant flashes of hope: that India was opening engineering colleges that would soon become the world's best, that it was solving its food-shortage problems, that it was even launching a space program. Its free press and parliamentary system?far from having collapsed, as Naipaul said?re-emerged triumphantly in 1977, when democracy was re-established.

...devised a plan to contain both Edwards—double covered as a standard practice—and Mazza, who has made mincemeat of his man-to-man treatment throughout his breakout season.

On the stump, he calls for a broader prescription-drug benefit for senior citizens but has nothing to say about Medicare reform...

For now, the cost for the service is included in the standard fare; soon the company hopes to launch "Mobile Office," designed by In Motion Technology, across more of its fleet. First, however, it needs to figure out the business details, Murphy says. It costs $1,000 to $2,000 to equip each car, an investment predicated on an iffy business model...
