One of the curtain-raiser’s most popular sequences, drawing loud applause, involved 1,800 dancers and 320 hospital beds honoring the country’s National Health Service. Six years on, and Britons are more likely to moan about the world’s largest single-payer health care system than praise it.

Chief U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro signaled when she declared a mistrial last month that she might dismiss the case outright against 71-year-old Cliven Bundy, sons Ryan and Ammon Bundy, and Montana militia leader Ryan Payne.

So if Nagy’s hiring came with a Reid endorsement ... it’s likely more than a head coach telling a young general manager what he wants to hear.

In the weeks leading up to last night’s Golden Globes, the organized “protest” planned by the actors and creatives set to attend the ceremony seemed halfhearted at best, and at worst, downright stupid. More than 700,000 female farmworkers instigated a laudable, coordinated campaign called Time’s Up to express their solidarity with the women of Hollywood, following scores of revelations of harassment and abuse by some of the industry’s most powerful players. And in response, 300 celebrities who... Читать дальше...

Every now and then, we like to use this space to focus in on one particular division. Last month we went through the Metro and tried to make sense of a traffic jam of teams all separated by a few points.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With three strong hurricanes, wildfires, hail, flooding, tornadoes and drought, the United States tallied a record high bill last year for weather disasters: $306 billion. The U.S. had 16 disasters last year with damage exceeding a billion dollars, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday. That ties 2011 for the number of billion-dollar disasters, but the total cost blew past the previous record of $215 billion in 2005. Costs are adjusted for inflation and... Читать дальше...

Donald Trump has often been described as a man who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. This is mostly because he boasts endlessly about a fortune he built even though he inherited millions from his successful father.

Less than a day after Oprah's powerful speech at the Golden Globes had everyone calling on her to run for president in 2020, at least one celeb known to get political, Jimmy Kimmel, is on board.

Why does the celebrity candidacy still hold appeal?

Okay, I wrote the headline as a reaction to my ongoing shame after having missed the mark on Donald Trump’s candidacy so many times. After Oprah Winfrey’s moving speech at the Golden Globe awards last night, there’s buzz about her being “our next president.” The response among political scientists has tilted, in a strongly negative direction. Over the summer I wrote about the pitfalls of an amateur approach to politics, especially presidential politics. Читать дальше...
