A party guest who collapsed from cardiac arrest in Santa Barbara, Calif., had amazing luck – the ballroom where it happened was packed with cardiologists attending an American Heart Association fund-raiser.

“If you have to go down, that was the place, I guess,” said Dr. Richard Westerman, who helped save the man. “He was fine. He had a pulse.”

A Canadian man is writing to 3,700 Belgian women called Sabine in a bid to find a sweetheart.

Marc Lachance hit it off with a Belgian woman named Sabine during a holiday in Cuba, “but I was too shy to ask her address or telephone number.”

Back home, he realized Sabine could be the woman of his dreams.

“I looked up . . . all women named Sabine [in Belgium]. There are 3,700 of them. I was shocked it’s such a popular name. It is costing me a lot of money.

“And what if her name is not in the phonebook? I dare not think of that.”
