              ON THIS DAY

              On June 12, 1987, during a visit to the divided German city of Berlin, President Ronald Reagan publicly challenged Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev to ''tear down this wall.''

              P.S. I have a colorful piece of it with markings of where the rebar was, purchased from a sidewalk vendor at the Brandenburg Gate. Unfortunately it is disintegrating rapidly.

                  LeBron James: "I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world"

                  LeBron James utterly dominated Game 5 of the Finals but the Cavaliers still lost. How does that portend to a Game 6 win? Well, James says he's the "best player in the world," that's how.

                            "You're probably asking why it took six days to create the earth, and was it absolutely necessary to rest on the seventh. And I'm sure you think Heaven would be a little more effective, if they merged some of the various religions."
                            Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, delivering a eulogy for Jimmy Lee.
