Guardian Angels.

The three Americans with President Hollande after he pinned them with France's highest civilian award. Everybody smiling (Psst, even the helmeted guard!). A tremendous moment. Hollande has a good face, a genuine, heart-warming smile and remember that iconic photo of him and Chancellor Merkel at the foot of the Germanwings crash site? Genuine sadness, not stoic, genuinely felt.



Yesterday in the first half of the soccer match at Everton, Manchester City were setting up for a corner kick when all of a sudden City's Sergio Aguero signaled to stop play. An Everton fan in the first row behind the Everton goal went into epileptic seizure and Aguero stopped the match to get the man immediate medical help.

In Spring Hill, Florida, a man had a heart attack mowing his lawn. Fire-Rescue responded and saw the stricken man safely off to the hospital...and then finished up his yard work for him.

Worldwide bull market in heroes the last few days.
