Earlier today, the president visited the famous ancient monument, the Acropolis citadel.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — FBI agents investigating an armed robbery at a Reno, Nevada, bank walked into a nearby casino and asked a 76-year-old man eating lunch what he did for a living. Agents say Tommy Ray McAdoo answered, "I used to rob banks." Prosecutors are accusing McAdoo of making off with more than $2,700 in a paper grocery sack in last week's bank robbery. He's been in and out of prison since the mid-1960s. And records say McAdoo recently moved into the local homeless shelter because he couldn't afford to pay his monthly rent.
