From West Berlin’s bleak Spandau Prison, an all but forgotten voice was heard. It belonged to Rudolf Hess, 70, who in May 1941, when he was Hitler’s Deputy Führer, flew from Germany to Scotland on a bizarre mission. He begged the British to make peace, but all he did was force Hitler to denounce him as insane, and land himself in a British jail. Hess was sent to Spandau after being convicted of war crimes at Nürnberg, and over the years rumors of madness cropped up again, fed by his refusal to see visitors.
The best time to watch what many call the best meteor shower of the year is coming up.
The Perseid meteor shower has already begun, but the peak time to watch it in the U.S. is the night of Aug. 11-12, says Alex Filippenko, a distinguished professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley. That’s when stargazers will be able to see the most meteors.
“It’s a fun event,” says Filippenko.

As men have stood at curbs or in tabernacles or Army recreation halls and lustily wailed, Throw out the life line, Throw out the life line, Someone is drifting away. Throw out the life line, Throw out the life line, Someone is sinking today; then found themselves refreshed in body with the chest exercise and in soul with the sentiment, they would wonder about famed Mr.
Justice Ginsburg’s dissents were often even more powerful than her voice when she was in the majority. She described them as “appealing to the intelligence of a future day.” She never stopped believing in that better future or that the law provided a vehicle for moving the country forward.

I was hoping for everything to go smoothly. My boyfriend and I had a scheduled spa day and dinner reservation later in the evening. At 2 in the afternoon, I entered the spa at a plaza that is walking distance away.
