...like Brooklyn? Well, I dunno if he'd ever been there before. We spent like two or three hours just talking. I mean, we're the same age. I'm less than a year older than him. To be honest, I dominated the conversation, because I was trying to really tell him how much impact he had on my life.

...Madoff's lawyer, Ira Sorkin, had asked for only a 12-year sentence for his client, noting that Madoff's advanced age meant he has a life expectancy of only another 13 years.

He said his client was seeking "neither mercy nor sympathy" and recognized the "anger and resentment" in the victims' impact statements, but felt they were looking...

...southern end and head north. Campgrounds and shelters are available along the route, and the trail passes through small towns with a history of welcoming campers. In 1948, legendary hiker Earl Shaffer became the first person to travel the full trail in one season. Fifty years later, at age 79, he repeated the feat - also becoming the oldest thru-hiker at that point (an 81-year-old completed the trek in 2004). In 2005, Andrew Thompson of New Hampshire made hiking history by completing the Appalachian Trail in just 47 days, 13 hours and 31 minutes - setting an astounding pace...
