Ambiguous Al crash report did what it shouldn't — leave much to imagination
As the hour struck midnight on Friday, July 12 —just in time to meet the globally prescribed deadline—the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau released a loosely worded and unsigned preliminary report examining the AI-171 crash of June 12 that killed 260 people, including 12 crew members. Social media and the internet exploded with further speculation, with many arguing the much-awaited report invited more questions than answers. Now, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that the captain cut off fuel supply to the switches, citing anonymous sources familiar with the evidence, there are even more questions.

A man of letters, a bridge between East and West
Chaudhary Mohammad Naim or CM Naim, the great Urdu scholar, teacher and translator, passed away in Chicago last week. We have been friends since the 1960s, and he has helped me on countless occasions. An early incident was in 1968 when I completed my MA and enrolled for a PhD at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) in the comparative study of progressive poetry in Urdu and Hindi. Comparative literature was a new field of study in those days. I was searching for a competent mentor until someone pointed to Professor Naim, who was in the Urdu department on a sabbatical from University of Chicago. I went to meet him though I had only heard about him from his students, Steven Poulos and Carlo Coppola who had joined AMU's Urdu department a couple of years ago for their research.
