Liestal

In Switzerland, more than 5,000 protesters met for a silent march in the community of Liestal 15 kilometers southeast of the city of Basel, local media reported.

David Goodall, 104, Australian biologist who drew international attention to his right-to-die case, ended his life in Liestal, Switzerland, on Thursday.

A musician who lived in Liestal, a 50-minute train ride north, had expressed an openness to meeting, but the way my luck was going, I figured I’d reach the town and spend the next hours waiting in vain.

German Tony Martin of the HTC-Columbia team won the final stage, a 16.6-mile time trial around Liestal, in 33 minutes, 30 seconds.

Schleck, who finished the race against the clock in the Swiss town of Liestal in 13th place, overtook the previous overall leader, Rorbert Gesink, a Dutchman with Rabobank, who cracked and fell to fifth place.
