1. There is an important article in the New Yorker about
the fantastic recent historical mathematical event, which
is the publications of the last step of the proof of Thurston's
geometrization conjecture. This proof contains the proof
of the Poincaré conjecture as a special case.

This article is available for free at the address
http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060828fa_fact2

2. Related to this event is the award of the 2006 Fields medals.
See the press releases of August 22 of the International
Congress of Mathematicians (ICM2006) in Madrid at the
