Former slave, on possible path to sainthood, to be entombed in Denver cathedral
By Meagan Flynn

On the streets of post-Civil War Denver, Julia Greeley was unmistakable as she stood at doorsteps of poor families in the middle of the night, pulling a red wagon behind her and wearing a floppy black hat. Because the former slave lost an eye as a child when she was whipped by a slave master in Hannibal, Mo., some people in Denver knew her as one-eyed Julia.

But most called her an angel of charity.

Partying at 45,000 Feet

What Do Kids Do on Private Jets?
In the race to court customers, VistaJet is producing six-figure play parties at 45,000 feet.
By Adrien Glover

Like everything else staged in the back eight seats of the Global 5000 Bombardier business jet—including games of dominoes and croquet—it’s part of an extravagant (and expensive) tea party produced at a turbulence-free 45,000 feet. Up in the front section of the plane, three adults sip Ruinart Blanc de Blanc Champagne while checking email, completely undisturbed by the action a few rows back. They can’t even hear the children’s squeals of delight when it comes time to eat the chocolate truffles they made themselves by hand.

Welcome to the world’s first official Alice in Wonderland adventure in the sky.

Renowned Economist Jeffrey Sachs Rips Trump As A Gibbering, ‘Delusional’ Threat
He calls for removal of the president using the 25th Amendment.
By Mary Papenfuss


“Trump is unwell and unfit to be president. He is a growing threat to the nation and the world.

“The emperor had no clothes. This president has no sense,” he concluded.
