They need to put this cyclist's age in the headline: he's 77 years old!
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

Excellent account of the efforts by judges to stop weekend mass removals of people caught up in ICE's attempts to shovel people out of the country without due process.
This time around, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan had a big advantage over Boasberg: She knew what had happened the last time.
That made all the difference.
The result is that the children are still in the U.S.—and an ongoing legal process will decide their fate.
