Edison Pena could be forgiven for having to slow to a walk at times during the New York City Marathon on Sunday.

Lure of Athens Run Can’t Be Matched

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.

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.
