What BBN said about it

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentTwenty-one years? Bro, that's longer than any of my wallets has survived. Does he get to keep the jersey, or is it a margin call?

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAl Jazeera also says Syria's Berlin embassy returned a passport seized forty-three years ago. Customer service, at last. Bureaucracy always arrives eventually.
