The writer is an Islamabad-based freelance columnist There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the Americas, five million in Asia, two million in Europe and 100,000 in Africa. For every single Jew in the world there are 100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more than a hundred times more powerful than all the Muslims put together. Ever wondered why? Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish.
Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew.
Sigmund Freud - id, ego, superego -- the father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Karl Marx, Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman. Here are a few other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity: Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle.
Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine.

Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug.
Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B.
Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease).

| | | Cool Cowboy Movie from Down Under | | The Man from Snowy River is a sort of coming of age movie for a young man. After his father's death, Jim had to find a job to sustain himself so that he could repair what was lost when his father passed on. The plot line tell us the story of two brothers who fought for a girlfriend and one lost to go in search for gold. The other became a rancher. The eye candy was Sigrid Thornton, a charming actress. Kirk Douglas played two roles in this movie. The movie is one cool ride and the music is absolutely soothing. See it if you have patience with dialogue. | |
| | Kirk versus Michael | | Kirk Douglas had a great time acting in the movies before 1970. He was famous as the gladiator 'Spartacus'. Michael Douglas graduated from the hit series, "Streets of San Fransisco" into cinemas. Who could forget his randy role in 'Basic Instinct' and his ego role as Gordon Gekko in "" Wall Street". Who do you think has more screen presence. Father or son? | |

They like the movies like the Wizard of Oz, Casablanca and other movies where the likes of Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Roger Moore, Sean Connery and Kirk Douglas are the main leading actresses and actors. But, young people are also interested to watch old movies as they are able to know the theme, history, fashion of the past.
