Those arriving in New Delhi a day early for the recent World Economic Forum India summit were greeted by a smog so dense, so noxious, that it seeped indoors, giving a brackish smell to hotel lobbies and making one wonder whether India's breakneck economic growth was going to be accompanied by the sort of pollution that made hellholes of old industrial cities such as Pittsburgh and Manchester. By the next day, thankfully, the smog had dispersed, and though that was probably because of a change in the weather, it was easy to believe that it had been blown away...
...exaggerations of the opposition in Parliament [Nov. 2]. Neither country can afford a war. Cooperation between the two countries is essential for the progress and prosperity of the world too. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao met on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Thailand and reaffirmed the need to keep the border peaceful. There will be discussions on the proposed construction of a dam on the Chinese side of the Brahmaputra River to resolve water-resource issues amicably, and a trilateral summit between India, China and Russia will be held in Bangalore...
Idols of the Twilight In retrospect, it's surprising how long it took the sound of hundreds of thousands of teenage girls hysterically keening to reach Hollywood. The first glimpse that director Catherine Hardwicke had of Twilight came at Sundance in 2007, where the founders of the newly independent Summit Entertainment showed her a script.

Of course, the $140.7 million is simply another estimate: Summit Pictures' Sunday-morning guess at Sunday evening's take. The real number, released tomorrow afternoon, could be much higher or much lower - all of which underlines the validity of screenwriter William Goldman's dictum that, in Hollywood, "Nobody knows anything."

...paid to increasing the size of the ranks or improving the meager force's fighting abilities. But without strength in numbers or combat skills, the police have been unable to curb the spread of Maoist violence and defend the state's isolated police outposts. At the Indian Economic Summit in New Delhi on Nov. 10, Chidambaram said all heavily affected states would completely reassert control over their Naxal-dominated areas within two or three years. Director general of police Ranjan thinks four years is a more realistic time frame. "We're not taking any more shortcuts," Ranjan says. "This...
