We review the world through top news stories, photographs, books, movies, and say another prayer before time pushes tragedies into the archives.

Dear Editor: Congratulations on your heartwarming story about the Syrian family who moved to Canton. Their successes here are truly inspiring. It was a perfect Christmas story.
