...flawed and the euro is doomed. It could have become a crisis - which would have, I wouldn't say Europe would have imploded, but it could have created sort of an unraveling effect. I think what Europe has been able to do over the years is as it's hit crises, it's been able to creatively become stronger, to use the crisis as an opportunity and that's what I've said also in the European Union. We want to use this as an opportunity to change Greece, but let's also use it as an opportunity in Europe...
...come around. The idea of unplugging was good, she'd decided. It just had to be done without driving to parties, which, it turns out, is actually the way the Bible suggests. So I decided to tack on a second 24 hours. And other than a few urges to hit the computer to add a movie to my Netflix queue and find out if Switzerland uses the euro, I didn't miss it.

...female suicide bombers struck Moscow's subway system during the Monday-morning commute, killing at least 39 people in the worst terrorist attacks to hit the city in six years.

...Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? fell a precipitous 62.4% from its opening three days - the biggest second-weekend drop since Valentine's fell 70.4%. Perry's fan base is avid but limited; nearly everyone who wants to see his films sees them the instant they hit the theaters. Other movies keep soaring on good word of mouth. How to Train Your Dragon opened two weeks ago at $43.7 million, on the weak side for a DreamWorks 3-D animated feature. But it fell only 34% in its second weekend, and for its third time around...
From macro to micro: at the bottom of the top 10 is Letters from God, a Christian-themed inspirational drama about a kid with cancer and his Almighty pen pal. The movie earned $1,250,000 on 897 screens, way below last year's Christian semi-hit Fireproof. But Letters cost only $3 million to make, so it could turn a profit, if the faithful keep contributing to the multiplex collection plate...
