On this day in 1953, Ernest Hemingway won the Pulitzer for fiction for "The Old Man And The Sea." You know, the book you pretended to read in high school. I don't know how you bluffed your way through that essay, either. But as an adult, you'd most likely appreciate the book's straightforward writing style and symbolism.
You'd also appreciate a look into Papa's home in Key West. He lived at this gorgeous estate between 1931 and 1940, where it served as stomping grounds for his circle of friends (including Marlene Dietrich, of all people) and a six-toed cat.

L'autorevole editorialista del Financial Times, Wolfgang Munchau, scriveva sul suo giornale il 28 aprile che "paradossalmente la sola maniera di rendere sostenibile la posizione attuale dell'Italia nell'eurozona consiste, in linea di principio, nella capacità di essere pronti a lasciare l'euro. Se invece, per principio preso, il governo italiano scarta questa opzione, aumenta davvero per l'Italia la probabilità di uscire dall'euro, poiché ci sarà una minore pressione sui paesi dell'eurozona nell'attuare i cambiamenti necessari".
La risposta italiana non si è fatta attendere. In modo implicito nel recente tour di Enrico Letta, fatto più che altro per rassicurare la Merkel e Barroso, senza al contempo dispiacere troppo ad Hollande. In modo esplicito nell'intervista del nuovo ministro dell'economia a Repubblica del 3 maggio, nella quale Fabrizio Saccomanni definisce senza se e senza ma il deficit del 3% (e quindi tutta l'impalcatura dei trattati europei vecchi e nuovi) "un limite invalicabile, per quest'anno e per quelli successivi".

Hot Docs has always done a fantastic job finding the stories that ask what it means to be human, even if it means screening documentaries on animals to do it.
2013 was another stellar year at the festival for films that explored the animal kingdom, from one man’s love for a fox to delving inside the mind of a killer whale. Special mention goes to the Canadian production "The Ghosts In Our Machine"which begs serious ethical questions about our relationship with sentient beings in a world fraught with factories and fur farming.

May 3 (Reuters) - The United States is watching "crackdowns on the opposition" in Venezuela, President Barack Obama said in a television interview aired on Friday when asked if he considered newly elected Nicolas Maduro to be the country's legitimate president.
Maduro, elected in April by a narrow margin, earlier this year accused the United States of seeking to kill opposition leader Henrique Capriles to stir chaos and spark a coup. Maduro's mentor and predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, was one of the world's most vocal critics of the United States.
"I think that the entire hemisphere has been watching the violence, the protests, the crackdowns on the opposition," Obama said in the interview with Univision News during a trip to Mexico. "I think our general view has been that it's up to the people of Venezuela to choose their leaders in legitimate elections."
Opposition-led protests the day after the April 14 vote turned violent and, according to the government, caused nine deaths. Maduro accused Capriles of trying to start a coup against him.
The opposition says officials exaggerated the violence, and some of the deaths were caused by common crime. It accuses the government of persecuting state employees who voted for Capriles, and arresting some activists, in what it calls a wave of repression.
"Our approach to the entire hemisphere is not ideological. It's not rooted back in the Cold War. It's based on the notion of our basic principles of human rights and democracy and freedom of press and freedom of assembly. Are those being observed?" Obama said.
"There are reports that they have not been fully observed post-election," he added. "I think our only interest at this point is making sure that the people of Venezuela are able to determine their own destiny free from the kinds of practices that the entire hemisphere generally has moved away from."
Obama held up Mexico's peaceful transition from a conservative to a centrist government last year, and flagged examples in Colombia, Chile and Peru.
