Happy Monday. If such a thing is possible.
While awake this morning at 3am I continued reading Unbroken
, the biography of Louis Zamperini: an Olympian, a castaway adrift at sea after his plane crashes into the Pacific, and then as a POW in Japan during WWII.

The movie got moderately awful reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (I haven’t seen it) but the book is worth your time.Here are a few other items of note from around the world this week:
