An ode to Bollywood's yesteryear superstar Babita Kapoor
In a career of about five years, she featured in around 19 films, most of them being hits. No pretence of histrionics nor conforming to the teary stereotype of her predecessors and peers, Babita was plain glamour. Amidst voluptuous heroines, she cut a slim silhouette. Hugging churidar kurtas, happy hoops and go-go glasses became her logo. Bell-sleeves, jumpers, polka prints, ribbons, bows, pastel lip-colour… her teen experiments influenced campus fashion. “I was a flower pot, who was paid in lakhs,” Babita once admitted with candour. That’s why she’s a path-maker… When her marriage with Randhir Kapoor hit foggy weather, she bravely piloted out of it with her daughters. Divorce was never an option for her. Randhir and she may have stopped living together but never stopped caring for each other. With a five-decade old relationship behind them, they continue being friends. Babita sanely chose the middle path. That’s why she’s a path-finder. A Kapoor daughter could be the pride of a home, not of the marquee. Babita…

Trump's impeachment trial might not wrap up today after all
Thought President Trump's impeachment trial was hours away from wrapping up? Think again. The Senate on Friday morning seemed headed toward acquitting Trump as soon as this evening, but The Washington Post is now reporting the impeachment trial is looking like it might actually last into next week, possibly not ending until as late as next Wednesday. According to the Post, the Senate may "take up a new procedural resolution laying out rules for the trial's endgame — which could include time for closing arguments, private deliberations and public speeches by senators." If the trial ends up lasting until Wednesday, this would mean Trump would have not yet been acquitted by the time he delivers his State of the Union address, which is scheduled for Tuesday. It also means the trial wouldn't be over in time for Monday's Iowa caucuses, much to the chagrin of Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.). Politico's Jake Sherman is reporting the same, writing that the trial going…

The report by The New York Times was later confirmed by The Associated Press.

Gallup: Credit Unions Feel The Love
The notion that credit unions (CUs) play country mouse to their more worldly banking cousins is beyond flawed, as a recent poll by the Gallup organization showed. Delving into customer sentiments across measures – including "helps me reach my financial goals" and "puts my financial well-being ahead of the interests of the bank" – Gallup found that credit unions are crushing it. Banks, not nearly as much. Banks did not surpass credit unions in any criterion used by Gallup. In fact, it wasn't even close. Though respondents had generally positive feelings about banks – for example, about financial institutions (FIs) being helpful during difficult life events – the focus on relationship-building and more personalized forms of finance have given credit unions the edge. For those who capitalize on it, the advantage will come in handy as FIs shapeshift their way to greater customer-centricity. How CUs sustain their unique brand of customer loyalty is among the core insights from the latest

Still, if he did testify, nobody knows what Bolton would even say, Colbert noted, so he had him (or at least Dana Carvey in a fake mustache) on "via live satellite" to ask.

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced Thursday night that he will vote against calling new witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, but he also said Trump's actions were "inappropriate." His decision means there will likely be at most 50 votes for witnesses, and since few people think Chief Justice John Roberts would break a tie, Trump's trial is expected to come to a swift end. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) told CNN's Anderson Cooper he's "very disappointed" in Alexander's decision, though it appears the GOP senator "essentially said that the House case has been proven but it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment." Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told CNN's Chris Cuomo that he's also "deeply disappointed" in Alexander's decision to allow "the first impeachment trial in history that has no witnesses at all, and it's hard to imagine that this is a fair trial under those circumstances." On the other hand, he said, it's "refreshing to hear somebody on the other side describe it as inappropriate." Democratic…

Trump is reportedly set to relax U.S. ban on land mines
President Trump will announce as early as Friday that he will undo restrictions on using or acquiring land mines enacted by former President Barack Obama in 2014, two U.S. officials tell Reuters. Obama had moved to stop all U.S. production and acquisition of anti-personnel mines, including to replace degraded stockpiles. The U.S. is not among the more than 160 signatories to the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, but it adheres to many of its provisions and prohibits the use of anti-personnel mines outside of the Korean peninsula, Reuters says. "The resumption of the use of anti-personnel land mines and continued stockpiling and production of these indiscriminate weapons is militarily unnecessary and dangerous," said Daryl Kimball at the Arms Control Association. The U.S. hasn't used land mines since a single anti-personnel mine in Afghanistan in 2002, Kimball's group says, and the last time the U.S. military used mines in any significant way was in the 1991 Gulf War.
