Quick Glance: Franklin: An Entertaining Historical Series

  • Michael Douglas shines with his magnetic personality as Franklin in this pleasurable yet not entirely gripping series about the events leading to the birth of a nation.

Quick Glance: New Rope Climbing World Record Set at Eiffel Tower by French Athlete
  • Anouk Garnier surpassed the previous world record in rope climbing on Wednesday morning by ascending over 100 meters to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower.
