Drop Dead Gorgeous

It's always a sad sight when a satire goes after a painfully obvious and easy target, and still manages to miss the mark. Such is the case with "Drop Dead Gorgeous," a vicious black comedy about a teen beauty pageant, one of the silliest and most intellectually indefensible rituals of modern American culture. ...

The Committee meeting, chaired by Union Water Resources Secretary S K Sarkar here last evening, saw representatives of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu sparring over the water-sharing of the Cauvery river.
