Good week/bad week: superheroes and sushi

The World

We join with The Week Magazine to take a look back at the best and the worst of last week. The past seven days were pretty good for real life super-heroes, as a man dressed as Spider-Man stopped a theft in progress at a comic book store. Meanwhile, PETA accused two New York restaurants of serving live octopus.
