O. J. Simpson, que saltó a la fama en los campos de fútbol americano, hizo fortuna en el cine, publicidad y televisión con un personaje de típico estadounidense negro, y fue absuelto de los cargos de asesinato de su exesposa y un amigo en un juicio celebrado en 1995 en Los Ángeles que cautivó al país, murió el miércoles. Un jurado en el juicio por asesinato, que mostró un espejo agrietado de un Estados Unidos blanco y negro, absolvió a Simpson, pero el caso arruinó su mundo. Pagó poco de la deuda, se mudó a Florida y luchó por rehacer su vida, criar a sus hijos y mantenerse alejado de los problemas. En 2006, vendió el manuscrito de un libro, If I Did It, y una posible entrevista televisiva, en la que relataría “hipotéticamente” los asesinatos que siempre había negado haber cometido. Una protesta pública puso fin a ambos proyectos, pero la familia de Goldman obtuvo los derechos del libro, añadió material en el que imputaba la culpa a Simpson y lo publicó.

BUENOS AIRES, June 28 (Reuters) - The World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) will provide Argentina with funds totaling over $1 billion, the South American nation's economy ministry said on Wednesday, adding these should go toward development and energy projects. The move comes as cash-strapped Argentina battles to rework its debts and comply with financing programs with other international financial bodies, such as a $44 billion loan program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Argentina's economy ministry said the World Bank was giving $900 million in financing for development projects in clean energy, health care and climate resilient infrastructure. The country, along with Uruguay, was also awarded with a $400 million credit program from IDB to improve the supplies at the Salto Grande Hydroelectric Complex and extend the facility's "useful" lifespan, the ministry added in another statement.

This section of the Rio Santo Domingo has been compared to a double black diamond ski slope. Rush Struges, Rafa Ortiz, and Evan Garcia were the first people to run the waterfalls from top to bottom in 2013. Jackson kayaks the Angel Wings falls in the Santo Domingo Gorge. But that doesn’t stop Jackson’s family getting anxious when he embarks on a big project, including his descent in the Santo Domingo Gorge. “My dad’s a pro kayaker, my sister’s a pro kayaker, my mom has been there every step of the way,” says Jackson.
