...ramp-mandatory 5-ft. 7-in. height requirement. The organizer of the annual Miss India contest, the Times of India group of newspapers and magazines, reports receiving applications by the sackful. Eventually, 600 hopefuls will be chosen for the elimination rounds, and just 30 will make it to the final show. But the deluge of applicants continues. "People have definitely become very, very aspirational," says Pradeep Guha, president of the Times group, who decides on the shortlist.

He will probably lower the penalty in order to stay within a Florida law that prevents juries from bankrupting defendant companies. The tobacco companies will ask him to overturn the verdict. Most likely he won't. Off to the appellate court, where the defendants will ask that the class be decertified, as other tobacco class actions have been before it.
