...India that identifies and tracks products. Mangat was offered a job at headquarters in 2006, and this time Preet went along (then fortuitously landed another fellowship, at Harvard). But both intend to spend more time in India--in part to raise their young daughter biculturally. Moreover, he says, his stint in his homeland now defines his career. "I can't imagine another job that won't involve India," he says...
...walk around carrying a bunch of regrets," says Affleck about his stint as a tabloid fixture. "There are things that I haven't quite figured out. I don't know enough to say that I've come to any certain conclusions other than that I prefer to be where I am now."

Radcliffe, who has clearly found his niche in the troubled-orphan role, plays the part well. As with his full-frontal stint in British West End production of “Equus” earlier this year, Radcliffe channels a darker and brooding maturity, breaking from his clean-cut Potter role. Besides baring his bottom (again), Radcliffe’s character dazedly follows Lucy into a dalliance with sex, cigarettes, and Creedence...
