...Mayawati's master stroke was to drop her weary slogans calling on her supporters to use their shoes to "beat" upper-caste Brahmins and to reach out to them; many feel as sidelined by the middle-ranking castes who control much of government these days as do the Dalits. That unlikely coalition, key to Congress's decades of dominance in Indian politics, is now working for Mayawati.

Participants were initially examined in the early 1970s and had no prior history of cardiovascular disease; they were tracked for 21 years, during which time 1,529 of the participants suffered cardiovascular events (such as heart attacks, stroke, angina or heart failure), including 578 deaths due to heart disease...
