Something Wild , 1961, Creative Commons, public domain In 1964, I was 10 years old, and I thought Carroll Baker was the naughtiest woman I had ever seen. I don't know why the parental units decided to take me the drive-in theatre to see The Carpetbaggers , but I sat in the back of the station wagon eating popcorn and wondering what it was all about. I didn't understand why I was so drawn to Alan Ladd and George Peppard , but I knew what Baker as Rina Marlowe was up to when she was scantily clad on top of a chandelier or rolling around on a bed telling Peppard to '… love me, Jonas, love me!

SINGAPORE: Indonesia's defence minister proposed a plan Saturday to end the war between Russia and Ukraine at a defence summit in Singapore, an initiative that drew quick criticism from attendees. "I call on Russia and Ukraine to embark on an immediate cessation of hostilities," Prabowo Subianto said, noting that the more than 15-month conflict had a severe impact on Asian nations' economies and food supplies. In a speech to the Shangri-La Dialogue defence summit, Subianto proposed a ceasefire "at present positions", and demilitarised zones that would be guaranteed by observers and United Nations peacekeeping forces.
