Donald Trump’s campaign and some of his allies have launched a pre-emptive political strike on Vice-President Kamala Harris, moving swiftly to try to discredit her amid talk among some of her fellow Democrats that she might replace President Joe Biden atop the party’s 2024 presidential ticket. On social media and in a flurry of statements over the past 48 hours, Trump’s campaign and his Republican allies appear to be laying the groundwork for an all-out assault on Harris should the 81-year-old Biden decide to end his re-election bid following his feeble debate performance last week.

The cloak of leadership tends to be a heavy one, and each fibre woven into it is a thread of responsibility, an obligation, a need. Not everyone wears the mantle well; so, what differentiates the people who do? Perhaps it’s their empathetic outlook, their sensitivity to others’ needs, the ability to encourage agency, to draw out the best in an individual. Kamlesh D.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. As is the notion of the ‘normal’. At 127cm and 138cm respectively, Dubai residents Zahra and Mufaddal Khumri may not fit into what is deemed normal by society. Not until you start speaking to them and peel off layers of what has been an extraordinary life. Zahra says she was born into a “normal” family (“My mother is six-foot tall,” she says). And yet, it was in her childhood that she was diagnosed with dwarfism. Mufaddal, on the other hand, had induced dwarfism, which means his limbs were not disproportionate to his…
