Paraguay-President

You can be forgiven if you did not hear the news about Paraguay impeaching its president. After all, it happened so fast that even Paraguay's neighbors are figuring out how to react. Paraguay, the small South American nation known as an "island surrounded by land," often goes unnoticed outside of South America. But there is an absorbing story behind the impeachment of Fernando Lugo that has turned into a regional crisis that is still unfolding. The impeachment procedures appear to have been carried out in accordance with the Paraguayan constitution, but some Latin American presidents are calling it a coup d'etat and refuse to recognize the new president, Federico Franco.

US-Sandusky-Victim-Number-Six-Reaction -- By Ann O'Neill

His heart pounded under his striped, maroon polo shirt as the one they call Alleged Victim No. 6 waited in a packed courtroom Friday night to hear the verdicts in the Jerry Sandusky child molestation case. He is 25 now, lean and broad shouldered with short brown hair and big dark eyes. For years, he struggled with the fact that Sandusky, a local football hero, crossed the line with him in a locker room shower in 1998. No. 6 was the only one of the accusers, the so-called "Sandusky 8," to come to court for the verdicts. He chewed gum with intensity, his jaws clenching and releasing as Sandusky, looking wan and bent in a brown sports jacket, lumbered into the courtroom shortly before 10 p.m. The jurors took their seats, looking tired and sad. One woman appeared to be crying.

US-AIDS-Quilt

Gert McMullin scurries about a cluttered storage space, keeping track of the thousands of pieces of folded fabric plucked off metal shelves and packed into blue cardboard containers for their journey to the nation's capital. The cloth panels are part of a quilt that has been her life these 25 years, since she began piecing together an American tragedy. In the early days, McMullin, 57, sewed her mailing address into the panels she made in memory of friends who died. She thought they would be returned to her once America defeated AIDS. She did not anticipate that a quarter century later, the AIDS Memorial Quilt, now 48,000 panels-strong, would still be growing.

MONEY-Health-Reform-Supreme-Court-Decision

How those estimates will change after the Supreme Court rules on the fate of the Affordable Care Act is anyone's guess.
