More than 1,000 Ismaili Muslim athletes and fans from around the country will gather today at T.W. Briscoe Park in Snellville for a national sports tournament featuring everything from cricket to three-legged races.
The weekend event, modeled after the Olympic Games, is intended to promote healthy living and showcase metro Atlanta's growing Shia Imami Ismaili Muslim community. And it's a chance for local Ismailis to mingle against a backdrop of friendly competition, said Sajida Shroff, an Atlanta-based volunteer for the Ismaili community.
NEW DELHI (AP)--Foreign secretaries from nuclear rivals India and Pakistan began a new round of peace talks Saturday on a series of festering issues, including their decades-old dispute over the Himalayan region of Kashmir.
William Makepeace Thackeray’s seminal 1848 novel, “Vanity Fair,” was filmed in the silent era, in 1932 with Myrna Loy, and in 1935 with Miriam Hopkins. It has also been adapted three times as a television miniseries, most recently in 1998. Most of these have faded, though the 1935 movie, called “Becky Sharp,” has some archival value as the first feature-length movie to be shot in three-strip Technicolor.
