Benito Mussolini (1883)
An ardent socialist in his youth, Mussolini turned nationalist after serving with the Italian army in WWI. He formed a fascist political group in 1919 and was soon appointed prime minister, becoming the youngest in Italian history. Supported by Adolf Hitler, Mussolini declared war on the Allies in 1940.

Alcohol May Fight Rheumatoid Arthritis
According to a new study, drinking alcohol may help reduce the severity of rheumatoid arthritis as well as reduce one's risk of developing the crippling autoimmune disorder. Researchers found that people who abstain from alcohol are roughly four times more likely to have rheumatoid arthritis than people who consume at least one alcoholic beverage three or more days per week and that rheumatoid arthritis patients who drink alcohol tend to have less severe symptoms than their teetotaling counterparts.

Japanese Women Living Longest
With an average life span of 86.44 years as of 2009, Japanese women claimed the record for worl d's longest life expectancy for the 25th straight year. Japanese men, meanwhile, dropped from fourth to fifth place in world rankings for average male life expectancy, coming in behind Qatar, Hong Kong, Iceland, and Switzerland. Average life spans for both men and women in Japan rose compared to the previous year, a shift that has been attributed, at least in part, to improvements in the treatment of strokes, cancer, and cardiac disorders—the three main causes of death in Japan.

Khmer Rouge Commander Convicted of War Crimes
A UN-backed tribunal has found Kaing Guek Eav, a 67-year-old former Khmer Rouge prison chief also known as Comrade Duch, guilty of murder, torture, crimes against humanity, and other charges for his role in the deaths of some 14,000 people at his prison Tuol Sleng, or S-21. His sentence—35 years, reduced to 19 years because of time already served—however, has outraged many Cambodians. Roughly a quarter of Cambodia's population, about 1.7 million people, died from forced labor, starvation, disease, and execution under the Khmer Rouge regime, in power from 1975 to 1979.
