Pragmatic Obama
FEW presidents arrive in office with large plans around foreign affairs. Yet most live to see their reputations defined by it. For Barack Obama, whose time in office coincides with a series of tectonic shifts in global structure - the Arab revolutions, the relative decline of American power, the rise of China - that pattern shows every sign of holding.

Tree of Life star Chastain on fast lane to fame
JESSICA Chastain may be the busiest actress in Hollywood people haven´t heard of yet. With as many as half a dozen films rolling into theatres in the coming months, she´s about to become famous fast. A veteran stage actress, Chastain´s big-screen career has been largely on hold pattern, with only two of the 11 films she´s made in the past four years released so far.

"I don´t think being a half-Indian impedes entry into Bollywood any more. In fact, I would like to believe that I have been blessed with the best of both worlds," Angela said. There was a time when half-Indians and foreigners were offered only typical roles, but the scenario has changed ever since experimental scripts have come into play, said the model. "Also, the industry has become open and encouraging to newcomers. Films with newcomers...
