The god of all courts
It seems a little incongruous to be writing about a hoopster amid all the hoopla about World Cup soccer, but we are talking here about Michael Jordan. Rumour hath it that in remote areas of the world like the Arctic and the Amazon, journeymen are earning their boarding by simply flashing Jordan's picture. In parts of deepest Africa and the Far East, where no English is spoken, the only words understood are `Michael Jordan'.
"If Congress hesitates, it should back us to form the government"
Just after forming an alternative front to dislodge the BJP-led Government at the Centre, Samajwadi Party chief and former defence minister Mulayam Singh Yadav spoke at length to Shianath Jha about his compulsions and future plans. In the body our readers would find excerpts from the interview.
Kudankulam goes nuclear
The proposed Kudankulam project is presently India's pride and joy, a signal to the world that India still has its supporters in the international community. But what is this Indo-Russian project, initiated by Rajiv Gandhi and then Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev 10 years ago, all about? Will it help improve power supply in the southern region? How do the local people view it? To answer these and other questions, we visited the site of the proposed nuclear power station at Kudankulam, which is about 25 km from Kanyakumari, in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district.
