The LaSallianWhen the astronauts in space look back down on our planet, they see blue. Seventy percent of our world is made up of salt-water oceans and we are living in the remaining minority – land. This is common knowledge to anyone who had to draw and color the globe back in grade school. It was…
Rating: 4.0 Marilyn Monroe defined an aspect of the 1960s: her curves, vivacious laugh and sex appeal made her adored and lusted upon the whole world over.
