Carrie Fisher may have been the "madcap Auntie Mame" to Mark Hamill's "square" homebody, but despite their differences, the Star Wars siblings got along famously right till the end. While both skyrocketed to celebrity with their Star Wars roles in 1977 and remained inextricably linked through their on-screen family, Hamill says he missed a lot of Fisher's life — during "the Bryan Lourd years" and when her daughter Billie Lourd was an infant. That's why, even before Fisher's untimely death last year... Читать дальше...

PENSACOLA, Florida (AP) — President Donald Trump on Friday reinforced his support for embattled Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, telling voters four days before they go to the polls that the "LAST thing" he needs in the closely divided GOP-controlled Senate is a "Liberal Democrat" who opposes his agenda. Trump tweeted that message hours before he touched down in Pensacola, Florida, for a Friday night rally in a state that helped propel him to the White House. The White House has said the rally is a campaign event for Trump.

Mikey Ward’s first impression of the freshman didn’t exactly portend an NFL future: “He was pretty scrawny,” Ward said. Undersized for a linebacker, sure, but fast. Ward, a senior at the position, quickly saw that, too. In the first quarter of his first college game, against Millikin University, Nicholas Morrow jumped in front of a 5-yard out route near the sideline for an interception — a “freak play” that Ward said few players at Greenville College would, or could, have made.

BuchananEven interventionists are regretting some of the wars into which they helped plunge the United States in this century.Among those wars are Afghanistan and Iraq, the longest in our history; Libya, which was left without a stable government; Syria's civil war, a six-year human rights disaster we helped kick off by arming rebels to overthrow Bashar Assad; and Yemen, where a U.S.-backed Saudi bombing campaign and starvation blockade is causing a humanitarian catastrophe.Yet, twice this century...
