...surprised everyone by signing off on a $30 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) rescue loan for Brazil, which began to restore stability. O'Neill gave tiny Uruguay $1.5 billion from the U.S. Treasury to stop a run on that country's banks. Now even profligate, bankrupt Argentina, which has sunk into bottomless recession through corruption and misguided policies, hopes to get in on the aid, though O'Neill has promised it nothing...
...Manila as a Congressman. Last year he returned, running for the Davao mayoralty on his eternal platform: to bring peace and order the Duterte way. The city's 1.3 million residents swept him back into office, and no wonder. On his watch, Davao's per capita crime rate has sunk to the nation's lowest.

Turning to the antique world, Goddio used the magnetometer to develop the most detailed map ever made of the ancient Egyptian coastline. Excavations based on this topographical research led to his discovery of Herakleion and part of the city of Canopus...
...buxom high school girls. We seemed sure of ourselves, strolling about in pastel Polo shirts with a few pairs of Prada sunglasses, sipping rum-and-tonics by the sea. For all intents and purposes, I think we looked pretty cool, but after the experiences of one fateful evening, we sunk into the inevitable effluvium of dorkdom. No matter how many girls sported this season’s horn-handled Gucci bag and how many boys showed off brand new tailored Nantucket Reds, the Harvard within stood out like Hester Prynne’s scarlet letter...
