See how this college experiment at Harvard changed the world (for better and worse). Here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door. By Doug Criss Super Bowl LIII     Well this sounds familiar, doesn't it: The New England Patriots are Super Bowl champs. Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the gang had to grind out a 13-3 victory over the L.A. Rams in Atlanta in what shockingly turned out to be a defensive battle. Brady and Belichick have now won six Super Bowls together, and the Pats are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl titles in NFL history. Brady is officially the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) because he has now won more Super Bowls than any other player. A lot of people called this the worst Super Bowl ever because the predicted shootout between these two high-powered offenses didn't materialize. At 16 total points, it was the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history. Viewers were even less kind to Maroon 5's halftime show, criticizing its safe, by-the-numbers vibe. (But the sight of Big Boi rolling in atop a Cadillac was awesome.) The commercials seemed to be pretty "meh," this year, but the Bud Light/"Game of Thrones" ad/promo won the night. Read about the rest of the Big Game's most talked-about moments here and look at the night's best photos. Ralph Northam   No one's quite sure what's going to happen next with Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam. Calls for the Democrat to resign continue to ring out after a racist photo -- of a man in blackface and another in a KKK outfit -- in Northam's medical school yearbook page emerged. Northam said it's not him in the photo, and he's not resigning. He held a meeting with people of color who work in his administration last night. Not a single person in the meeting said Northam should stay and fight, a Virginia Democrat briefed on the session told CNN. And CNN found more racist and objectionable images in a review of the 1984 Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook. Pope Francis   Pope Francis became the first pontiff to visit an Arab Gulf state after he landed today in the United Arab Emirates. Francis will spend three days in Abu Dhabi, the UAE's capital, where he'll attend a conference with Jewish and Christian leaders. It's Francis' seventh visit to a predominantly Muslim country, signaling a continuation of improving ties between the Vatican and the Islamic world. The overwhelming majority of people in the UAE are Muslim, but the country hosts a big expatriate population, some 1.2 million of whom are Christian. Prison power outage   The power's back on in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. But questions remain about how more than a thousand inmates ended up spending the weekend in dark cells with no heat during freezing weather. One person who visited the facility said the temperature inside was as low as 49 degrees. The Justice Department is looking into it; the Bureau of Prisons said a fire at the detention center caused the partial power outage. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the conditions at the detention center were a violation of human decency and dignity for the inmates. California plane crash   Five people were killed when a plane crashed into a house in Southern California. Two men and two women inside the home in Yorba Linda, near Los Angeles, were killed, the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The pilot of the small plane also died. One neighbor said he saw the plane explode and it was "raining plane parts from the sky." The plane had just departed from nearby Fullerton Municipal Airport before the crash. 60% How much of President Trump's schedule (since the 2018 midterms) that's been spent in "executive time," a period during the day that he uses to watch TV, make phone calls and hold meetings, according to Axios Advertisement People are talking about these. Read up. Join in. Boycott bowl The Super Bowl was watched all over the world last night -- but not in New Orleans. Saints fans are still miffed about that no-call, so they threw parties instead.

You'll have to embrace a plant-based diet first.  Warm hearts During last week's epic cold spell in Chicago, one family gave their neighbors something heartwarming: little notes offering help and friendship.
