Quick, what’s 29.2 miles per gallon in liters per 100 km?

Franco’s behind-the-scenes support for FC Barcelona as an outlet for nationalist sympathies that didn’t threaten his power structure is by now well-documented. “Més que un club” is still “less than independence.”

Wrestler Aleksandr Karelin went undefeated from 1982 to 1987 and again from 1987 to 2000, with his only two losses being the ends of his win streaks.
