...elevators for up to four hours. The blackout soon spread to the country's agrarian south and the Ionian Islands, the worst power outage in Greece in decades. Authorities did their best to reassure the public, but on Thursday a fresh power cut caused by a faulty cable struck the Acropolis and two neighboring districts for an hour. Pantelis Kapros, president of the Greek Energy Regulatory Authority, reminded everyone that in 2001 his organization had raised the prospect of a blackout just before the August Olympic Games.

By 7 months, he had a bodybuilder's pumped-up proportions. Researchers determined that the baby had a double dose of a mutation that inactivates a protein that restrains muscle development (a mutation also seen in mice and cattle).
