...Themed holiday villages don't always work, but Desa Seni-located amid rice farms in Canggu, a corner of Bali known for its bucolic tranquility-isn't as contrived as you would expect.

The insights they have garnered, as well as their evident good taste, lend the resort an unaffected charm. "We always wondered why no one replicated what it's like to live a village lifestyle," says Klein, before laughingly admitting that having 80 satellite-TV channels in every...

But Shapiro said HDAG still urged further divestment. “Either way, the money is still going to these companies, whether it’s direct or indirect,” Shapiro said. Tom D. Hadfield ’08, who has helped HDAG to add the petition to its Web site, hopes the growing show of support will convince others to join. “This is obviously an issue that many undergraduates care passionately about,” Hadfield said...
