Before you wade in, remember that the carnage could get a whole lot worse. Like many markets, India has been badly rattled by fears that the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks will keep raising interest rates to fight inflation.

Marc Faber, a renowned emerging-markets investor based in Hong Kong and Thailand, expects a further fall in the next six months as that uncertainty deepens.

...This year's finals feature two fresh teams, each making their first trip to the championship round. Nowitzki's Mavericks won 60 regular season games, and the Heat has O'Neal, vying for one more title, armed with the anti-Kobe, nice-guy superstar Dwyane Wade at his side.

Perhaps it was the show’s proximity to Boston University or the speed with which it sold out that kept the Haircuts home in favor of more traditional-looking frat boys...
...what they were attempting to do: generate a dialogue about abortion.In a period on campus where pro-choice groups were nowhere to be seen in response to the legislation in South Dakota—a proposed bill effectively banning abortion (and a potential first step in overturning Roe vs. Wade)—“Elena” filled just that void. HRL’s highly visible message on abortion, plastered in entryway stairwells and on dining hall doors everywhere, was the fodder that resparked an old debate.The Crimson began running Op-ed pieces on abortion?...
