Mickey Rooney dies at 93, an adorably cute little kid who was star of many movies I saw at the Ritz Theatre in my growing up years. By then, fifteen years older than me/I, he was an adult, but at five foot two he always pulled it off as hero child actor, bright little boy.
Russian soldier shoots and kills unarmed Ukraine officer in Crimea. OK, it starts, it begins?
Whoever planned the disappearance of Malaysia 370 was quite thorough. Immediately up to 45,000 feet and depressurize to render everyone immobile or dead, evasive maneuvers to fly around air defense and commercial radar in the region and avoid detection, down to the southern Indian Ocean and sit the plane down carefully so as not to break it up for surface debris, and sink three miles deep. An individual madman, one of the pilots, terrorists gloating over their latest major triumph of evil and fear, having selected a naively vulnerable airline? Was the plane not used as a 9/11 type weapon against a major population center because this is more imaginative and scary?
Boy hero Oscar Pistorius takes the stand. Hothead lover and gun fanatic with violent temper explains between sobs, that he murdered his wounded, screaming girlfriend thinking she was a burglar using the toilet or taking a shower. And gets away with it?
We had a good reunion with friends and former parishioners at Grace Church yesterday. Between services, their first-Sunday breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, fruit, juice.
