Monday: The story I found most interested on Monday was the story regarding the secret jails that are in China. It's always creepy to hear about jails or prisons in which no one sees, but these "black houses" sound exceptionally ominous and are closer to the everyday lives of the Chinese than they think. It's haunting to think that people land in these secret prisons for seeking justice.
Tuesday: Tuesday's story was the Shakespeare story. I am a big fan of Shakespeare and the finding of a new portrait of him shocked the world as possibly the only portrait of him recovered. I found this neat that this was discovered nearly 400 years after Shakespeare had died.
Wednesday: The big story for me was the story of Madoff planning to plead guilty to the crimes he had committed. After scamming people out of their money and essentially stealing for all of them, he is finally going to a place fit for him.
Thursday: Finishing out the week was the stories on the shootings. It seemed that the cover page was smothered in bad news as shootings in the U.S. and Germany showed up. I had never seen a split story like that on the cover page either (where it said for one shooting go to page x and for the other, go to page y) so that sparked an interest in reading both to see how they were similar and different.
