Human Race

CALLED: Detroit 13-year-old Keiara Bell garnered national attention last month after she admonished her city council's president pro tem for calling the council president "Shrek" during a televised meeting and heated argument. "You're an adult," Bell told 43-year-old Monica Conyers during a later panel discussion with local schoolchildren. "We have to look up to you. We're looking on TV and we're like, 'This is an adult calling another adult Shrek?'"

DECORATED: It took more than 60 years, but World War II veteran William Laubenstein finally got the recognition he deserved. The 90-year-old was awarded a Purple Heart along with several other medals during a special ceremony at the U.S. Air Force Academy June 9. In 1944, Laubenstein was taken prisoner after he was injured when Germans shot down his plane over occupied France. "When I was discharged, they asked me if I had wounds to report. Most of us did. But we just wanted to get home."
