CHICAGO, June 7 (UPI) -- A Chicago-area woman who dropped out of high school in her senior year to help her parents during the Depression has received a diploma 73 years later.
In the intervening years, Eleanor Benz, 90, married, studied typing and bookkeeping and produced 15 children, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday. She has 54 grandchildren and 37 great-grandchildren.

Well, the bookkeeping must have come in handy.

This just in, the words of President Obama, spoken in France:  " Mr. Obama said there must be 'tough diplomacy' with Tehran."

Well, that changes everything.  We're sure they're just shaking in their boots in Tehran.  After all, look at the history of Mr. Obama's toughness.
