Two Portraits, Two Stories ...












I read these two stories (BBC), back to back, over coffee this morning -

1. New York hotelier and real estate billionaire Leona Helmsley has left $12m to her pet dog, Trouble. The pampered pooch received the largest bequest from Mrs Helmsley's will. The will also says that when Trouble dies, she is to be buried alongside Mrs Helmsley, who died last week, and her late husband in their mausoleum.

2. Peruvian officials say they have run out of tents and urgently need at least 40,000 more to house victims of the devastating earthquake two weeks ago
