April 23, 2012 | | STAR STUDENT In just a few weeks, hordes of freshly minted college graduates will be thrown out of their philosophy lectures and into the world with one unresolved proposal to chew over: what now? The Daily Beast crunches the numbers to find America’s most useless degrees, from architecture to English. THE END? The NYPD and FBI search for the remains of America’s best-known missing child is over. After reopening the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, who went missing in 1979 at the age of 6, officials said that no human remains were uncovered. Furthermore, the stain found on a concrete block tested negative for blood. Police were searching a basement located a block from Patz’s home that was the workshop of a handyman who had allegedly given the boy a dollar the day before he vanished. COMBUSTIBLE Sudan reportedly directed airstrikes against villages in South Sudan Monday as the two countries feud over an oil-rich border region. South Sudan recently pulled its forces out of the border area of Heglig after the United Nations stepped in. The bombing Monday reportedly targeted the towns of Bentiu and Rubkona in South Sudan, which gained its independence from Sudan last July. The African Union has planned talks for later in the week to attempt some reconciliation between the predominantly animist and Christian South Sudan and largely Muslim Sudan. Ex-Opponents Mitt Romney kicked off his week with a Monday-morning endorsement from Rudy Giuliani. “When I look at where we are as a nation and the challenges we face, I am convinced that Mitt Romney will provide a clear contrast to President Obama,” said the former New York City mayor, who ran against Romney in the 2008 Republican primary. The Romney campaign boasted of the endorsement, proclaiming, “Rudy’s successes in turning around New York City are well known, and his name is synonymous with leadership, uniting a city in the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack in our nation’s history.” LOW EXPECTATIONS As the retail giant faces allegations that it doled out bribes to speed its growth in Mexico—and sliding shares—The Daily Beast’s John Ackerman asks why Americans hold a double standard toward corruption committed on Mexican soil. | |
