Mexico bodiesThe mass dumping of headless bodies administers a shock to Mexico, long numbed by a death count of nearly 50,000 brought on by president Felipe Calderon's war against the crime cartels. By the time his tenure ends this December, six years after his declaration, that number will likely surpass 60,000.

What kind of headway has the country made since 2006? Of the seven major cartels, some have vanished, but smaller syndicates have scrambled into the vacuum. The two largest—Sinaloa and Los Zetas—remain in power and at each other's throats. A beefed-up federal force has supplanted Mexico's underpaid, poorly treated, corrupt police force, but corruption persists, and journalists are being killed.

Finding true love can happen at any age. Peggy Marie Pence and Henry Freund, college sweethearts from Tennessee, first fell in love in the early 1950s as students at Southwestern at Memphis (now known as Rhodes College). But when Freund graduated, joined the Army, and moved away, Pence moved on with her life, graduating from Southwestern, marrying Howard Schuster, and having three children.

Freund wrote to Schuster to express his sympathies for her loss. Ten years later, Schuster gave Freund her e-mail address, and the two began to communicate again.

Freund said, "It didn't take

The London Summer Olympics do not begin until July, but world records are already being broken. The world's tallest Lego structure was completed Sunday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Danish toy maker. Standing 105 feet high in front of Seoul's Olympic Stadium, the structure took more than 50,000 colorful bricks and five days to construct. More than 4,000 children participated in the construction.

The final piece of the tower was put in place by Danish Crown Prince Frederick. This new tower bested the height of the previous tallest structure, which was built in France in October and stood at 103 feet. So far the new structure has already received more than 30,000 visitors.

The first official Lego tower was built in London in 1988 and reached nearly 50 feet. The record for the tallest tower has been broken now more than 30 times.
