Pompeii restores six tourist sites

ROME

Tourists in ancient Pompeii have freshly restored marvels to admire, including a merchant’s luxuriously decorated home and a more modest middle-class dwelling.

A business where Pompeii residents brought fabrics to be cared for and a structure with thermal bathing areas are also among the six buildings opened to the public Thursday.

Pompeii in recent years has been plagued by labor disputes that locked out tourists and the collapse of some ruins, with funding chronically short for maintenance. But Premier Matteo Renzi expressed optimism at the unveiling of restored ruins in the city destroyed in 1979 by a volcanic eruption.

‘Concussion’ role enlightened actor

NEW YORK

While the new Will Smith film “Concussion” may lead some to question their support of the NFL, the forensic pathologist who first drew attention to the dangers of repeated head trauma said he wanted his discoveries to “advance football.”

“Concussion” tells the true story of Dr. Bennet Omalu, who stumbled upon an insidious brain disorder affecting football players that began in 2002 with an autopsy on former Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster.

“I had this hunger in me to use my knowledge to become a voice for the voiceless, to make a difference, just like Will Smith,” Omalu said.

Smith said the script enlightened him about the dangerous effects of multiple concussions. “When I met Bennet and went through the science, I was terrified as a parent,” Smith said. “My son played football for four years and I had no idea this was an issue.”
