...doesn't typically look well on magistrates who draw attention to themselves." That may be an understatement. There are currently two other pending cases against the judge in addition to the one involving the Franco investigation. Garzón is also being investigated for dismissing financial misappropriation charges against Emilio Botín, the director of Banco Santandar, after the bank sponsored a course at New York University in which the judge was a participant. He's also being investigated for his allegedly inappropriate ordering of wiretaps in a national corruption probe...
...been 25 years since five teenage archetypes sat down together for Saturday detention, and their experience - as related in John Hughes' teen classic The Breakfast Club - is still having an impact. The film, which starred Molly Ringwald as the princess, Judd Nelson as the rebel, Emilio Estevez as the jock, Anthony Michael Hall as the geek and Ally Sheedy as the misfit, premiered on Feb. 7, 1985, and made instant icons out of its young cast members.

And despite not having much of a local economy, Antarctica still boasts a postal service...
...Rafael Ferrari and Freddy Nasser monopolize sectors like broadcasting and energy - and, say analysts, continue to exert incredible influence on the government. Little will change, says Rosenberg, unless those local élites "step up and assume a greater sense of [social] responsibility." Former Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Emilio Alvarez agrees, but says Honduras' coup is only likely to encourage more meddling. Central America, he says, "is like a small village where the same group of families controls everything...
