  US implicates Saudi crown prince  in Khashoggi's killing WASHINGTON (AP) — Saudi Arabia’s crown prince likely approved the killing of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, according to a newly declassified U.S. intelligence report released Friday that instantly ratcheted up pressure on the Biden administration to hold the kingdom accountable for a murder that drew worldwide outrage. The intelligence findings were long known to many U.S. officials and, even as they remained classified, had been reported with varying degrees of precision. But the public rebuke of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is still a touchstone in U.S-Saudi relations. It leaves no doubt that as the prince continues in his powerful role and likely ascends to the throne, Americans will forever associate him with the brutal killing of a journalist who promoted democracy and human rights.

Prince among actors  Shashi Kapoor He was handsome as hell, bordering on beautiful. He could have made it big on looks alone but he chose to act as well. Shashi Kapoor was our first actor who caught the eye of foreign filmmakers, charming the Western audience not only through his sublime looks but also his subtle acting in films like The Householder and Siddhartha. The dashing actor never reached the numero uno spot in Hindi cinema but was recognised nevertheless as a bankable romantic lead. His true forte was revealed in the ensemble films of the ’70s. There, he teamed up mostly with Amitabh Bachchan to give  memorable performances. Here he came into his own despite playing the smaller role, in films like Deewar and Kabhie Kabhie.

He didn’t play to a formula but essayed characters vivid and...
