This is a little out of my usual line, but the story in yesterday’s Independent is so fabulous that it demands to be included. Cristina Kirchner, the President of Argentina, has adopted a Jewish man to save him from becoming a werewolf. Juan Peron extended the protection to women, and since 2009 it has been available to Jews; this adoption comes 21 years after his parents asked for him to be included. The tradition carries some important privileges, including an educational scholarship, and President Kirchner has used the opportunity to promote harmony in different cultures.
