Boris Johnson's vaccine strategy gets another boost, while Europe confronts fresh problems

London (CNN)Boris Johnson didn't have a very good start to the pandemic. The United Kingdom still has one of the world's worst coronavirus mortality rates, and is near the top of the table in total infections and deaths -- truly the Covid capital of Europe.

Critics have blamed this on several errors made early on, from going into lockdown too late and making a mess of testing to poor government communications.

However, of late, Johnson's fortunes appear to have turned. On Monday, the Prime Minister was able to reveal a roadmap that would take England out of lockdown before the end of June.

Johnson would not have been able to deliver this good news had the UK's vaccine rollout not gone so remarkably well to date. As things stand, the UK has administered more than 18.5 million doses, or 27 per 100 people. Compare this to other European giants like France and Germany, who have each managed only six per 100, and a very favorable narrative emerges for Johnson.

How Hollywood Sold Glamour

In the September 1932 issue of Modern Screen, actress Loretta Young appears in a full-page portrait. She’s artfully slouched in a chair, wearing a long dress with delicate cuffs that graze her hands and a semi-sheer top that doesn’t reveal so much as suggest her delicate shoulders. She has a cigarette in one hand, and she’s looking away from the camera, creating a distance between her and the reader. You can’t fully know her, but you probably wish you did—if nothing else, to ask her how she does her mascara.

This photo provides a strong contrast to another portrait of Young, printed in a 1936 issue of Movie Classic. In this one, she’s smiling in a simple white shirt, long coat, boots, and pants. One hand is in her pocket and the other is curled around a leash connected to two large, docile dogs. She’s not quite looking at the camera here either, but you don’t necessarily need to know this woman. You probably already do.

However, one of her most significant competitors for the main character is Octavia Blake. While this may not be easy to see in the first season, collectively, Octavia grew so much from the series premiere to the finale. Beaten, bruised, and came out the other side, Octavia has dealt with many emotional and physical storylines. While Octavia may not have always made the best decisions, she did have her moments of knowing the right thing to do.

Sexual predator takes plea deal in murders of two 6-year-olds after LA district attorney reverses course

In a rare deviation from the controversial sentencing policies of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, prosecutors cemented a plea deal Monday expected to send a violent predator to prison for the rest of his life without the possibility of parole for the murders of 6-year-old Jeffrey Vargo of Anaheim Hills and another boy.

During a hearing in Pomona Courthouse South, Kenneth Kasten Rasmuson, 59, sat shackled at the waist next to his defense attorney and quietly pleaded no contest to two counts of murder with the special circumstance of multiple slayings.

A judge is expected to sentence Rasmuson to life in prison without parole during another hearing on April 27. He was accused of abducting Jeffrey near his home in 1981 and killing him in Agoura Hills. The second boy, 6-year-old Miguel Antero, was kidnapped in 1986 and his body was found dumped in an Agoura Hills canyon.
