As the New York Daily News has documented, she has since claimed she’s not sure she won , she hasn’t checked the ticket, the ticket is at her home, the ticket is hidden at McDonald’s, the ticket is secreted away somewhere else, and now she can’t find it.

Sometimes, we mourn a man. But how, in heaven’s name, do we mourn the stark and resonant end of an era? Babe Ruth. Mickey Mantle. Joe Louis and Joe Namath. Some sports figures become symbols of their athletic generation, so woven are they into the national fabric. As a sports cartoonist and columnist, BILL GALLO was a journalistic symbol for the generations. And for 70 years as a cartoonist, more than a half-century at the New York Daily News, he was the one helping to weave that fabric. Read full article > >

NEW YORK —It’s said that Sept. 11 happened to all Americans, and it did. But it happened to New Yorkers first, and foremost, and worst. The natural consequence of living with a jagged-edged pit of busted concrete, twisted steel and broken glass was a steady chipping-away at their nicer sides, which weren’t so pronounced to begin with. “Rot in Hell,” the New York Daily News headline said above a picture of Osama bin Laden.

Thirty-three Chilean miners who had spent sixty-nine days trapped 2,000 feet underneath the Atacama Desert were rescued. The miners were carried one-by-one to the surface in a custom-made capsule. Most were in good health. One miner emerged and began leading chants of “Chi-chi-chi, le-le-le!” Another juggled a soccer ball, and a third embraced his mistress. After being rescued, each miner received free sunglasses and a music player from corporate donors, $10,000 from a Chilean businessman, and an open invitation for a striptease. Edison “the Runner” Peña, who jogged each day in the mine while listening to Elvis Presley songs, was offered free trips to the New York Marathon and Graceland. More than one thousand international journalists observed the miraculous rescue, along with Rolly the Clown. “You could call me a psychologist of sorts,” Rolly said. “People need a clown at their side when they are grasping for solutions.” NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders added: “You know what? I think we need this as a world. I think we do.” NYT NYT Telegraph NYT NYT Zimbabwean farmers were selling their daughters for maize, the United Nations reported that some fifteen thousand rapes were committed last year in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and a tenth of Germans said that they would prefer that a “Führer” take over their government.
