...President, you can't say Dallas doesn't love you," gunfire erupted. Though she originally intended her notes from the tragic day to remain private, the philanthropic widow of former Governor John Connally later shared her recall of Nov. 22, 1963, telling the A.P., "It's the image of yellow roses and red roses and blood all over the car ... all over us.

Then he pumped the room full of mist. During a six-month run that ended in March 2004, Eliasson's make-believe sky drew some 2 million visitors. A lot of them spent long stretches lying on their backs, gazing blissfully upward...
...that the Party of God would give $10,000 to all those whose homes were damaged or destroyed and that Hizballah would rebuild or repair the homes itself. And Nasrallah's aides have dispatched a corps of engineers to survey war-torn areas. Its members show up wearing Hizballah yellow vests and matching baseball caps that say JIHAD OF CONSTRUCTION...
