Episode 1- Intro

Береза
Белая береза
Под моим окном
Принакрылась снегом,
Точно серебром.
На пушистых ветках
Снежною каймой
Распустились кисти
Белой бахромой.
И стоит береза
В сонной тишине,
И горят снежинки
В золотом огне.
А заря, лениво
Обходя кругом,
Обсыпает ветки
Новым серебром.
[1913]

Navidad: celebraciones inusuales alrededor del mundo.

POSTAL CLERK: What can I do for you today?
CAROL: I need to mail this package to New York, please.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, let’s see how much it weighs … it’s about 
five pounds. If you send it express, it will get there 
tomorrow. Or you can send it priority and it will get 
there by Saturday.
CAROL: Saturday is fine. How much will that be?
POSTAL CLERK: $11.35 [eleven thirty-five]. Do you need anything else?
CAROL: Oh, yeah! I almost forgot. I need a book of stamps, too.
POSTAL CLERK: OK, your total comes to $20.35
[twenty dollars and thirty-five cents].


LANGUAGE NOTES
• What can I do for you today? Notice that this question starts with “What,” so the 
intonation drops at the end of the question.
• Or you can send it priority … Notice the stress on “or,” which emphasizes that there is 
another possibility.
• $11.35 ... $20.35 Notice the two different ways the postal clerk says the price. First he 
says eleven thirty-five (without the words dollars and cents), then he says twenty dollars 
and thirty-five cents.
• Oh, yeah! is an expression used here to mean “I just remembered something.” It’s often 
followed by “I almost forgot.”
• Your total comes to … is a way of saying “the cost is ….”

Richard Floyd McCoy, arrested six months after the DB Cooper hijacking, displayed striking similarities in his own hijacking, demanding $500,000 and parachutes in a manner reminiscent of Cooper. However, McCoy's escape was short-lived as the FBI found him with cash and parachutes, leading to a 45-year prison sentence. Some believe McCoy and Cooper may be the same person. Sheridan Peterson, a Boeing employee and skilled skydiver, drew suspicion due to a physical resemblance and remained a suspect until his death in 2021. Eric Ulis, an amateur sleuth, was 98% convinced of Peterson's involvement. Another suspect, Robert Rackstraw, an army veteran and helicopter pilot, became a late '70s suspect but never explicitly denied being Cooper. However, Rackstraw's age in 1971 contradicts the reported age of Cooper at the time.
