The CĂ©sar-winning actor was an international favorite in the 1960s and â70s, often sought after by the eraâs great auteurs.

Alain Delon, the intense and intensely handsome French actor who, working with some of Europeâs most revered 20th-century directors, played cold Corsican gangsters as convincingly as hot Italian lovers, died on Sunday. He was 88.
He died at his home in Douchy-Montcorbon, France, according to a statement his family gave to the French news service Agence France-Presse.
Hours later, President Emmanuel Macron honored him in a post on social media, saying, âWistful, popular, secretive, he was more than a star: a French monument.â
During his heyday, the 1960s and â70s, Mr. Delon was a first-tier international star, highly paid and often sought after by the eraâs great auteurs.
When he burst on the scene in the gangster genre, as a sad-eyed, saintly young sibling in âRocco and His Brothersâ (1960), Luchino Visconti was in the directorâs chair. Two years later, when Mr. Delon played a sexy stock trader, it was in Michelangelo Antonioni âs âLâEclisseâ (âEclipseâ).
And âLe SamouraĂŻâ (1967), released in the United States as âThe Godson,â and the jewelry-heist flick âLe Cercle Rougeâ (1970), in which Mr. Delon was a sinister, mustachioed ex-con, were both directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, patron saint of the French New Wave.

An old pantry staple is made new again as many online creators are sharing videos of themselves mixing baking soda into water for its presumed health benefits.
“I think it’s becoming more popular because of the social media aspect of it,” said Dr. Christie Youssef, a family medicine practitioner with Kaiser Permanente in Fair Oaks, Virginia.
But just how healthy is this concoction and why are so many people doing it?
“What people are doing is drinking baking soda in an effort to reduce the acidity in the muscles â the working muscles,” Youssef explained. “This leads to less muscle fatigue, improved performance ⊠especially with heavy exercise.”
She said the thinking here is simple: some claim that sodium bicarbonate, the compound that makes up the baking soda, could help raise the pH level in the blood, improving performance during exercise like cycling, running or weightlifting.
While Youssef said the alkaline properties of baking soda could give credence to this theory, there’s little-to-no documented scientific evidence that this is the case.
And yet, people are doing it. It has a name too.
@daddybrownn Drink baking soda before working out to reduce fatigue! #bakingsoda #fatigue #endurance #lift #exercise #workout #health #gym #gymtok #gains #healthy #preworkout #muscle #fitness #hack #hacks #lifehack #fitnesshack #fitnesshacks #tipsandtricks #foryou #foryoupage ⏠original sound – daddybrownn
“This new ‘soda loading’ is kind of the new thing we’re seeing,” Youssef said.
She said baking soda also has other, more well-known health benefits. Its higher pH balance makes it an ingredient in antacids and can help with heartburn and acid reflux.
But there are risks on the flip side of that.
“You do not want to make your stomach too alkaline,” Youssef warned. “The stomach acid that’s used for protection and digestion will not have the same function, and you run the risk of having abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, in some cases, diarrhea.”
Youssef said the main worry here is that the digestive and physiological issues that come with ingesting too much baking soda could outweigh the potential benefits for some.
She also said consuming too much baking soda “will make you need to urinate more.”
When this happens, you could be expelling valuable electrolytes, potassium and water from your body, which could lead to severe dehydration, headaches or nausea.
“Use it with caution, use it in moderation. And just remember that, in the big picture, exercise, diet, lifestyle modification â those are the best ways of staying fit and healthy,” Youssef said.
If you do decide to give this trend a try, she said there’s little scientific information out there when it comes to a recommended dosage of baking soda to consume. Typically, she said those who are trying to treat acid reflux and heartburn are told to take 3 teaspoons a day.
So, for this trend, Youssef said, “Anywhere from 2-3 teaspoons a day is safe. No more than 5 teaspoons a day.”
“But, there’s no magic shortcut to becoming fit, no ultimate substitute, other than changing your lifestyle and staying active to reach your goals,” she added.

The missile was featured in a video posted to the Russian Defense Ministryâs Telegram account. The first half of the video features a Iskander-M short range ballistic missile âa dual capable nuclear and conventional missile system. The second half of the video shows MiG-31 âFoxhoundâ interceptors carrying a blurred out payload on the center of the fuselage. The Ministry of Defense describes it as such:
During the exercise, the Aerospace Forces aviation units practiced equipping aviation weapons with special training ammunition and conducted air patrols in designated areas.
The training event is described as a ânon-strategic nuclear forces exerciseâânon-strategic nuclear weapons are weapons of a low explosive yield designed for use on the battlefield, or otherwise outside of an all-out nuclear war scenario. In the Russian military, nuclear weapons are described using the euphemism â spetsyalnava, â or special. âSpecial training ammunitionâ is a reference to a nuclear weapon.
The video is unusual in that the R-33S missiles are clearly displayed. The video shows a MiG-31 pilot inspecting his landing gear, with the missile partially visible in the background. In the next shot, four MiG-31 fighters, each armed with four blurred out missiles, take off from an unspecified airfield. Despite the blurring, the identity of the missiles is obviousâthe R-33S is the only remaining air-to-air missile in the world armed with a nuclear warhead , and the MiG-31 is the only plane in the world that can carry it.
The R-33S, also known in Russia as Izedeliye 520 (roughly âItem 520â), was developed by the Vympel Design Bureau. The NATO code name for the missile is AA-9 âAmos.â The missile is a derivative of the R-33âa conventionally armed air-to-air missile. The R-33 is 13 feet, 7 inches long, 15 inches wide, weighs more than half a ton, and carries a 104 pound high explosive warhead. The R-33S is dimensionally the same, but features a nuclear warhead and a redesigned wing configuration to account for the heavier warhead. It has a maximum range of 87 miles.
âAmosâ was designed to complement the MiG-31 in its role as a long range interceptor. The MiG-31 was designed to defend Soviet airspace from aircraft such as the SR-71 Blackbird strategic reconnaissance aircraft, and the B-52 Stratofortress bomber, and the B-1B Lancer bomber. It was also, coupled with the MiGâs Zaslon radar systemâdesigned to engage low-flying nuclear-tipped cruise missiles. Each MiG-31 can carry up to four R-33 missiles, and presumably the same number of R-33S missiles.
Nuclear-tipped air-to-air missiles were once fielded by both the United States and the Soviet Union . In the United States, Convair F-102 âDelta Daggerâ interceptors assigned to protect North American airspace from Soviet bombers carried AIM-26 Falcon nuclear-tipped air-to-air missiles. The AIM-26 carried a W54 nuclear warhead with a yield of 250 tons, which ensured that a near miss would still destroy the target.
In a nuclear war, F-102 fighters would seek out and destroy Soviet nuclear bombers flying over the North Pole to attack targets in North America. Under such dire circumstances, every missile countedâespecially when shooting down one hostile bomber could destroy multiple nuclear bombs before they were dropped on American cities.
Nuclear air-to-air missiles fell out of favor as missiles became more accurate. Nuclear-tipped missiles were also only usable under one circumstanceânuclear warâand their use in conventional war could tip the conflict into a nuclear one. They were also expensive, and the added effort of securing, storing, and maintaining nuclear warheads was an unnecessary added headache.
The last R-33S missile rolled off the assembly lines in 1995, and the missile has rarely (if ever) been seen since. It is largely a relic of the Cold War , and no replacement has ever been fieldedâat least, not one with a nuclear warhead. The question is why the Russian Aerospace Forces would choose to literally roll them out on a trailer, for all the world to see, 29 years later.
The most obvious reason is a demonstration of Russian power (no matter how useful that power ultimately is). Russiaâs armed forces have not only taken a beating in terms of lost men and material, but in terms of reputation as well. Weakened and distracted by the Ukraine War, Russiaâs ability to hold onto its territory would be in serious doubt if the rest of the world were to suddenly declare war on it like it did to Ukraine .
One of the few untouched forces in the Russian military is the nuclear arsenal. Russia leaned heavily on its nuclear arsenal in the 1990s and 2000s to guarantee its territorial defenseâeven as the rest of the country was militarily, politically, and economically weak. Russiaâs nuclear weapons have not been deployed to Ukraine and, unlike the rest of the Russian armed forces, still have a near-mythical allure of strength.
Itâs really not clear why Russia has trotted out its R-33S stockpile now. It could signal that Russia reserves the right to engage Ukraineâs new fleet of F-16 fighters with nuclear air-to-air missilesâthe exercise partially took place in the Southern Military District bordering Ukraine. Russia warned that providing its enemy with modern fighters would be a âred lineâ that should not be crossed. Still, brandishing nukes and using them are two different things, and Russia still appears to be unwilling to cross the nuclear threshold.
Russiaâs brandishing of nuclear-tipped air-to-air missiles in relative peacetime is a weird flex. But the countryâs conventional forces are weakening every day, and its three day warânow in its third yearâis an ongoing humiliation. The weaker Russia gets, the more the world will likely see of Russiaâs nuclear arsenal, including old nuclear-tipped air-to-air missiles.
