...Thomas' study was not designed to tease out why these scalp and neck lesions are particularly dangerous, but she notes that those areas are crisscrossed with extensive lymph and blood vessels - such networks can make it easier for cancer cells to both grow and spread. Dr. Vijay Trisal, a cancer specialist at City of Hope National Medical Center in Los Angeles, also notes that these areas receive the most sun exposure. "The maximum sun exposure areas are to the scalp, face and neck," he says, "so it makes sense biologically that cancers here would be different from those in areas...
...Seebeck's not kidding about heavy hitters. Among the franchisees is Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, the world's 14th richest man, with an estimated net worth of $20.1 billion. Not quite as wealthy but rather more flamboyant is Vijay Mallya, known for throwing lavish parties in his home city of Bangalore and for his co-ownership of the Force India Formula One team. The enterprise's big guns aren't fooling: "We want the IPL to be one of the icon brands in the world," says IPL chairman Lalit Modi, "and we are going to push everything that...
...Solitude of Emperors by David Davidar is the more straightforward of the two. Davidar's narrator Vijay, a journalist, recounts the story of the first few years of his career working for the Indian Secularist, a tiny journal in Mumbai.

But he could be forgiven for taking a little added satisfaction in the recent $1.18 billion acquisition of scotch-whisky producer Whyte & Mackay by his UB Group, based in Bangalore, India. United Breweries has come full circle since the days of empire, when the firm was founded by Scotsman Thomas Leishman in 1915. It wasn't until India gained independence from Britain in 1947 that the first Indian director was appointed--Vittal Mallya, Vijay...
...Vijay Rekhi, president of United Spirits, counters that the Europeans have put up an "invisible barrier" to trade by refusing to even call the stuff made in India by the name whisky. Most Indian whiskies are made from sugarcane molasses, but if they aren't made from grain and matured for a minimum of three years, they can't be labeled whisky in the E.U. "You can call them Indian spirit, you can call them rum," says Rick Connor, director of public affairs for Chivas Bros. "We do object to calling them whisky." That definition, Rekhi says, blocks UB from...
