News for Week Ending Friday, Sep 20, 2019


1.   After fracturing her arm while rehearsing for “Dancing with the Stars,” Christie Brinkley told ABC, “I have to find a silver lining.”  ***   OK, but I think that’s kind of snobbish and it will itch even more than an ordinary cast.

2.   Officials in New Mexico announced a plan to provide free college tuition for all state residents.  ***   However, they said parents would still need to pay for books, living expenses and bribes to the admissions office.

3.   Accused Wikileaks fugitive Edward Snowden says he would like to come back to the U.S. if he could get a fair trial.  ***  Or at least be tried on a televised episode of “Judge Judy.”

4.   A transatlantic flight was diverted to Ireland after the pilot spilled coffee on the controls, causing heat, smoke and a burning odor.  ***  Hmmm, sounds like Starbuck’s extra-strong morning-wake-up blend.

5.   For adventurous travelers, a unique hotel—the North Pole Igloos—will be opening at the North Pole in April, 2020.   ***   The only drawback is that you have to help make toys.
