Stories You Might Have Missed: Goodbye '09 Edition
As 2009 fades into history the urge for anyone with access to a media outlet is to compile some sort of year-end list. I am not going to put together a list of top stories or year end awards, but in the column below I am going to highlight seven stories that I think deserved more attention than they received, either because they challenged the conventional wisdom in international affairs, help to explain where our world is or where it may be heading, or, in the case of the science story at the end, because it is just too bizarre not to note. So without further ado, here is my humble year-end collection:
The US Navy, Climate Change Believers
Germany's "Giant" Puppetshow
Totally super late with this, but I came across it and had to post. Last month as a part of Germany's 20th anniversary Berlin Wall celebrations, France's Royal de Luxe theatre company put together a live and mobile show that used two giant marionettes. The story allegedly is about a deep sea diver who years ago was seperated from his niece, but comes to be reunited with her after destroying a wall put up by "land and sea monsters."Approximately 1.5 million people came out to witness the show. Check out the rest of the pics here.
