Almost everyone has a black sheep in their family. Someone who maybe gets in trouble with the law and doesn’t follow rules.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Last Germans to Surrender (Encore)
Wars can start with a bang but end with a whimper. Often an attack or an invasion will begin a war, but even one when one side surrenders, it can take days, weeks, or months for word of the capitulation to get out to everyone.
While the European theater of World War II officially ended on May 8, 1945, the word didn’t reach everyone right away.

Almost 2,800 years ago the Ancient Greeks held a sporting event every four years on Mount Olympus.
The festival was part competition, part religious celebration, and it was considered so important that wars would come to a halt in honor of the games.
Then in the 19th century, one man came up with the idea of bringing the games back to life.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The 1972 World Chess Championship
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union competed in almost every arena: space, sports, and of course the military. Everything they competed in was designed to show the superiority of their respective systems.
In 1972, one of the greatest cold war rivalries came to a head in Reykjavík, Iceland.
It didn’t take place at a sporting event or on a battlefield. Rather, it took place over a period of two months on a chessboard.
