Note:
FTP: "Today, Mr. Biden chairs the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and is sufficiently influential in matters of external policy that, as the conservative pundit Andrew Sullivan put it, "he's a senator who doesn't just call foreign leaders; they call him."

How Fast Can Humans Go?
Note:
Usain Bolt may have just broken the human speed limit. Last week, he took two gold medals in the Olympic 100m, shattering his own world record with a time of 9.69 secs., and the 200m with a time of 19.3 secs., obliterating by two-hundredths of a second the long-standing world record Michael Johnson set at the Atlanta Games in 1996.
