Note:
(a) The German surname Sonne is from "Middle German sonne, sunne 'sun.' "
(b) "Yuri Novikov feels the Bern."
(d) "Jane O’Meara Sanders, the Vermont senator’s wife, said in an interview Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa, ahead of Monday’s caucuses in the state, that she and her husband knew they had little time to take off, and so scheduled their wedding right before their already-planned departure for the Soviet Union. 'Because we’re both workaholics, we said, "OK, we’re not going to be able to have any time off after we get married. Why don’t we just do it now?" ' she said."
Definition 4 is only found in MacMillan dictionary, but in my view the best fit/
(e) "Yaroslavl has a population about 14 times the size of Burlington’s"
Burlington, Vermont https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burlington,_Vermont
(Burlington had a population of 42,417 at the 2010 census; section 1 Etymology)
(f) In print: the article ends with the paragraph: "People don’t even think it’s possible," he said.
