20 Jan 1972, Paris, France --- Pigeon Power. Paris, France: As many residents of big cities can testify at firsthand, or perhaps head or shoulder, pigeons are the freest of creatures. They are no respectors of edifices or personages. So, it should come as no surprise that pigeons make free with Simon Bolivar, or rather, this bronze statue of him, in Paris. Even though he's known in history as a liberator of Latin America, Bolivar might have drawn the line or the sword at something like this. --- Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
