Britain, France OK Condorde flights: The supersonic Concorde got its wings back Wednesday — just over a year after a deadly crash — with French and British officials clearing the fleet of 12 aircraft for flight once safety modifications are made.

Mother Teresa had exorcism: Mother Teresa had an exorcism performed on her while hospitalized in 1997, the Archbishop of Calcutta said Wednesday. The disclosure by Archbishop Henry D’Souza came as hundreds of people in this eastern Indian city paid homage to the renowned caregiver on the fourth anniversary of her death.
