For the past 48 years, the Albuquerque International BalloonFiesta has been giving people both on and off the ground a visual feast of rare beauty.

After Battling Cancer, Hip Surgery, Ex-President Carter Still Thriving at 95
ATLANTA - Four years after battling life-threatening cancer in his liver and brain, and four months after falling and breaking his hip, requiring surgery and weeks of intense physical therapy, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter took the stage September 18, unassisted, here for the Annual Jimmy Carter Emory University Town Hall, which he’s participated in, uninterrupted, for 38 years.
