Doctors in Berlin announced that they had cured a man of AIDS by giving him transplanted blood stem cells from a donor naturally resistant to the virus; other researchers cautioned that the treatment was of little immediate use, and justified in this case only because the patient had leukemia. "Frankly," said Dr. Robert C. Gallo of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, "I'd rather take the medicine." A German shoplifter with no arms stole a 24-inch television. "It's hard to believe," said a police officer, "that the sight of an armless man walking along with a giant TV clamped to his body did not get anyone's attention." A man in a motorized wheelchair robbed a Space Coast Credit Union branch in Merritt Island, Fla., telling employees that he was rigged with explosives; police caught him 10 minutes later and recovered the stolen money from his prosthetic leg. Huseyin Kalkan, the mayor of Batman, Turkey, said that the town would sue Warner Bros. for a portion of the royalties
from the movie "The Dark Knight." "There is," said Kalkan, "only one Batman." A sixth severed foot washed ashore in Canada, and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who is expected to sign a $7 million book deal, was asked if she planned to run for president in 2012. "I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray. I'm like, don't let me miss the open door," she said. "I'll plow through that door." The Secret Service assigned official code names to President-elect Barack Obama ("Renegade"), first lady Michelle Obama ("Renaissance") and their daughters Malia ("Radiance") and Sasha ("Rosebud"). In Chicago, a relaxed-looking Obama, who gained 700,000 Facebook friends since his election, met with Sen. John McCain, who has lost 1,000 Facebook friends, and astronomers in Canada and the United States, observing the constellations Piscis Austrinus and Pegasus, captured the first images of distant, dusty planets orbiting young, bright stars.
