- Sarkozy and Merkel Push for Changes to Europe Treaty (NYT) — A lot of shoes would have to drop for it to happen, but perhaps the intent will calm things down.
- Ratings agency warns euro nations (BBC) — But have they acted in time?
- Moscow protest after Russia vote (BBC) — Hundreds shouted “Down with Putin!” Hey, wait a minute — can they do that?
- Critics target cost of Guard troops on border (WashPost) — Is it time to bring our boys back from the Rio?
- Found: Earth-Like Planet That Might Be Right For Life (NPR) –I wonder whether there are any jobs there. And before we have a celebration, consider that at the same time…
