left. '

referencing anti-Semitism in the 1930s. She was deported to the

*State says literacy not a right in Detroit !!!
The state is asking U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy III to dismiss
the case, saying the U.S. Supreme Court and Michigan courts do recognize
the importance of literacy, but reject claims it is a legal right. “But
as important as literacy may be, the United States Supreme Court has
unambiguously rejected the claim that public education is a fundamental
right under the Constitution. Literacy is a component or particular
outcome of education, not a right granted to individuals by the
Constitution,” Haynes says.

The oldest Living Women is 117 Years old
Ms Morano, the oldest of eight siblings, all of whom she has outlived,
was born on 29 November 1899 in the northern Italian town of Verbania,
Piedmont region of Italy, her home for the majority of her long life.
This year, she officially became the world's oldest living woman after
American Susannah Mushatt Jones died in May. She is also officially the
last person still living born in the 1800s.
Raw eggs and biscuits Ms Morano's longevity, she admits, is partly down
to genetics - her mother reached 91 and several sisters reached their
centenary - and partly, she says, down to a rather unusual diet of three
eggs - two raw - each day for more than 90 years. "Emma has always eaten
very few vegetables, very little fruit. "When I met her, she ate three
eggs per day, two raw in the morning and then an omelette at noon, and
chicken at dinner."
