Sunday 3.18.18 Dear readers, We're back with another 5 Things for your Sunday! A few weeks ago, we did an experiment and sent a weekend newsletter because so many of you asked for one. We got a ton of responses, and now we're taking another swing, with some of your suggestions included. Please let us know what you think, and don't forget to take the short poll at the end of this email. Thanks, from Your 5 Things family By Michelle Krupa & Brandon Griggs | | Quintuplet lion cubs make their debut at the Kunming Zoo in China. It's by far the cutest of the 35 best shots of last week from our friends at CNN Photos. | | | Viola Desmond, who in 1946 took a stand when she sat on the main floor of a Nova Scotia theater, which at the time was reserved for white people. She's now the first black person to appear on Canadian currency and the first woman to appear alone who's not a British royal. | | | "I was just like, 'Sure! If you need help, that's what I am here for" That's what waitress Evoni Williams said she was thinking when she helped an elderly man cut his ham. Someone snapped a picture of her act of kindness, and now Evoni has a college scholarship. | | | Going for gold The Winter Paralympics, where US athletes racked up dozens of medals, close today in Pyeongchang, South Korea. 'Feel it and go' Tiger Woods got his "feels" back at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Football frenzy European soccer's Champions League quarterfinal, with first legs set to be played on April 10 and 11, are now set. | | | Netflix (or Hulu or Amazon) and chill And here's what's streaming this month on your small screen. 'An old soul' There's more than one way to portray a young man of color. That's the goal of Showtime's "The Chi," Lena Waithe's Chicago-set drama. Its first season finale airs tonight on Showtime. Heroic humanity "Tomb Raider" just hit theaters, with Alicia Vikander bringing a surprisingly human dimension to the Lara Croft movie franchise. But the film still trailed "Black Panther" at the weekend box office. You know it's not real, right? Love reality TV? The new behind-the-scenes book, "Bachelor Nation: Inside the World of America's Favorite Guilty Pleasure," reveals the tricks of the trade. | | | Dateline: Puerto Rico Breathing machines gone silent. Hospital hours cut back. Six months after Hurricane Maria hit the island, Americans there are still dying. Their story is one of several CNN weekend reads you can dive into to start your week smart. | | | Relive the madness There's plenty of excitement -- and agony -- yet to come in this year's tourney. But if you're itching for ALL the goosebumps right now, catch this recap of last year's NCAA men's basketball tourney, set to "One Shining Moment." (Click to view.) | | So, what do you think? OK, 5 Things fam, we've been experimenting with Sunday e-mails, and we want to know what you think. Now that you've gotten one on a Sunday morning and an afternoon, which do you prefer? A. A morning newsletter on Sunday B. An afternoon newsletter on Sunday C. Either one is fine D.
