In the Memory of Diego Maradona
President Alberto Fernandez has announced a three-day state accolade to pay tribute to Maradona, Argentina's public saint and one of the country's most noteworthy footballers. It is the ideal opportunity for the schedule to commend the 25th of the month with another festival in memory of Diego Armando Maradona who left this world and gave to interminability. Eventually, photographs, recordings, and movies portray his life, yet they neglect to introduce an immediate image of murkiness and light, truth and goodness, for better or for more terrible, which has never been exceptional than Diego Armando's life.

The tragic and heroic life of Princess Alice, mother-in-law of Queen Elisabeth ll
Who else has seen a nun smoking and playing in the basket? Even if it seems hard to believe, such an eccentric mother once existed in Greece, whom Prince Philip of England called her "mother." The fate of Queen Elizabeth's mother-in-law is both tragic and heroic, as we are talking about a deaf-born princess who survived the two world wars, fought a mental illness and established a monastic order in a Greece that had abolished the monarchy.

Ping-pong diplomacy
The World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya, Japan in 1971 marked a change after a friendly meeting between table tennis players Glen Cowan and Zhuang Zedong of the USA and the People's Republic of China (PRC). After two decades of hostility between the two countries fueled by the Cold War ideology and memories of the Korean War the trip was called "ping pong diplomacy" by the American media and led to the visit of some famous Americans to China. It tells the bizarre and tragic story of how a top-level game in the Chinese government was used to cover the deaths of 3.6 million people by holding the World Tennis Cup during the Great Famine, the heroism of their players convicted and murder during the Cultural Revolution, and the survivors reunited to shake their American counterparts in 1971.
