Can cricketer turned politician Imran Khan turn Pakistan around?

In the 1990s, Imran Khan was on top of the world. The Oxford-educated cricket player courted supermodels, married a British heiress, hung out with Princess Diana and even captained Pakistan to its only Cricket World Cup victory in 1992. And now after two decades of competition in a new arena, the former international sex symbol may soon be on top of Pakistan, a nuclear-armed state home to more than 200 million people, as its next prime minister.

Afro-Surinamese women once sent coded messages to each other with their headwear. Learn how.
