HOUSTON — Seven years ago, after a group of venture capitalists bought the Warriors, the franchise adopted a peculiar philosophy: In Friday night’s 125-108 rout of the Rockets, a team on pace to break Golden State’s record for treys in a season, Golden State reinforced the importance of stingy perimeter defense. Seven weeks after hitting 14 three-pointers in a double-overtime win over the Warriors, Houston finished just 7-of-35 (20 percent) from beyond the arc. Friday was the second-worst showing...

Roberta Peters, the Bronx-born coloratura soprano who at 20 was catapulted to stardom by a phone call, a subway ride and a Metropolitan Opera debut — her first public performance anywhere — all in the space of five hours, died on Wednesday at her home in Rye, N.Y.

Hillary Clinton probably thought often about what it would be like to look out on the lawn of the Capitol as the page was finally turned on the divisive 2016 election, but she would have imagined a very different tableau than the one before her Friday. The defeated Democratic presidential nominee was looking on from fewer than 10 seats away as Donald Trump took the oath of office.

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama exited the presidency Friday with a message of gratitude to Americans and a plea to his supporters not to be bowed by the inauguration of President Trump. In a farewell speech at Andrews Air Force Base before boarding the presidential plane for the last time, Obama said he’d been met by skepticism and doubt throughout his eight years in office by some who “didn’t think we could pull it off.” Obama said his supporters had transcended the obstacles posed by entrenched political...

For all their happy pageantry — marching brass bands on parade, solemn invocations, evening gowns at the balls — our inaugurations expose some of the biggest tensions that define the American presidency. Even as democratic systems spread, most countries adopted parliamentary systems where legislatures chose prime ministers to head their governments, often alongside a ceremonial head of state to hover above the partisan fray.

FARINDOLA, Italy — After two days huddled in freezing cold, tons of snow surrounding them in the wreckage of the avalanche-demolished hotel, survivors greeted their rescuers Friday as “angels.” Bravo! rang out early Friday as the first survivors were pulled from the debris, boosting spirits two days after the massive snow slide buried some 30 people.

On the day reliever Santiago Casilla officially joined the A’s, he recited an old saying: “It’s always good to go home, and I’m happy to get this new opportunity with the Athletics.” The Giants bade farewell to one of their bullpen stalwarts without making him an offer, instead signing Mark Melancon to close and choosing to hand the setup jobs to younger, cheaper relievers on staff. Giants fans could not wait for Casilla to clear out his locker after he blew nine saves and pouted about the way manager Bruce Bochy used him. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — It took just a few hours for President Donald Trump to give the Oval Office a makeover, including some fresh gold trim.
