Print correspondent with a 66-minute story to read, yet interesting feature to help readers pick up where they stopped mid-read.
It's long (it will be a special section in the Saturday print edition) but @globeandmail has a new bookmarking feature, so you can start reading now, and pick up later where you left off!

I wonder what Beijing’s built in delay is after the signal hits China from CNNI in Atlanta.

I had a spirited talk with an OPP officer covering the tragic boat crash. He insisted we leave the area because it was “private property” though the owner didn’t object. We complied. I asked him which way the crashed boats would be towed. His answer: “none of your business.”
