The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone: Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone and Anton Marvelton have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego.

Great White Shark: A Once in a Lifetime Catch

ABC News’ Rachel Katz reports: For Captain Joe Maisano of Treasure Island, Fla., and fishermen Fab Marchese of Ontario, Canada, it seemed like it would be just another day out on the water, but that quickly changed when then two fishermen spotted a rare great white shark.
Maisano, 26, was about 30 miles off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico last Friday when he noticed what looked like a great white shark.

"I have seen jaws enough times to know what they look like," said Maisano. "It just smelled the blood in the water, because we have been sitting there for several hours and he just wanted to come up and get some food."

World leaders head to Rome for pope's inaugural mass

World leaders arrived in Rome ahead of an inauguration mass for Pope Francis who receives compatriot President Cristina Kirchner of Argentina on Monday in his first meeting with a head of state.
The first pontiff from Latin America had testy relations with Kirchner when he was Buenos Aires' archbishop, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, particularly over gay marriage and abortion laws.
The pope has won hearts with his humble style but is haunted by criticism at home for failing to speak out during Argentina's brutal "Dirty War" when he was head of the country's Jesuits.
