...legendary classical choreographer whom Ratmansky cites as a prime inspiration. While tourists posed for photos in the lobby, balletomanes lined up to purchase Bolshoi magnets and T shirts, and ushers hawked commemorative calendars, Ratmansky slipped unnoticed into a back booth. Ignoring the commotion and scribbling notes, he kept his eye trained solely on his ballerinas, who wore the Bolshoi's traditional monochrome leotards and leaped and jetéed to Balanchine's original choreography. The performance was exquisite, and if you watched the stage very closely, as Ratmansky did, it seemed as though the Bolshoi had never missed a step...
...calling the U.S. practice of secretly transferring terrorism suspects from one country to another the equivalent of outsourcing torture, the E.U.'s final report alleges that the CIA operated more than 1,245 flights in European airspace between 2001 and 2005 and accuses several countries of "turning a blind eye" to those flights, which "on some occasions" were used for rendition.

Within University Hall, O’Brien was known for keeping a keen eye on senior surveys and always cared about what the students thought. She was a key behind-the-scenes player who made things happen even if that meant challenging traditional power structures within the Faculty. From creating the College Events Board to improving the freshman experience, O’Brien’s fingerprints are everywhere...
...bicycle lock. It was the standard dramatic police work for the 53-year-old Miyamoto, who manned a station on a commuter train line in Tokiwadai in northern Tokyo. Miyamoto was the sort of police officer who helped elderly pedestrians pass the train crossing, and kept an eye out for the drunken salarymen who, buzzed from a night of office imbibing, threatened to take headers off the platform. "He held the safety of the people in this community as his top priority," says Hiroshi Kawano, a local grocer. Miyamoto was an ordinary omawari-san - Mr. Patrolman - one of thousands...
