Ward 1 Alderwoman Melody Anderson pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat at the first voting session of the fiscal year for the Lincoln City Council. Actually it was a stunt aimed at bringing a chuckle from the eight aldermen who were about to draw lots to find out whether they would serve two-year or four-year terms on the council. It was also a historic event for the city, as this year all eight aldermen ran for election due to the reduction in the number of wards in the city. LDN will have complete coverage of the meeting and several more photos in its Wednesday edition.

Although the Volkswagen Beetle has historically been referred to as a "bug," it is quite obvious that the shape of the little car lends itself well to impersonating a pig! This car was spotted outside the Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln College. We don't know the story behind it, but if you do, we would love to hear it.  If you know this little oinker, drop us a note at ldneditor@lincolndailynews.com.

This black-and-white file photo from the mid-1900s, released by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston, shows Ernest Hemingway, second from right, and Gianfranco Ivancich, right, dining with an unidentified woman, left, wife Mary Hemingway, second from left, and Juan "Sinsky" Dunabeitia, center, at Hemingway's Finca Vigia villa in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba. Cuba and a private U.S. foundation are working together to preserve more of the novelist's papers and belongings that have been kept at his home near Havana since he died in 1961. The digitization of 2,000 Hemingway papers and materials will be transferred to Boston's John F. Kennedy Library.
