MEXICO CITY — Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took the oath of office Saturday as Mexico’s first leftist president in more than 70 years, marking a turning point in one of the world’s most radical experiments in opening markets and privatization. In his first speech to Congress, Lopez Obrador pledged “a peaceful and orderly transition, but one that is deep and radical ... because we will end the corruption and impunity that prevent Mexico’s rebirth.” Mexico long had a closed, state-dominated economy...

DETROIT — To understand just how much Stephen Curry means to the Warriors, one needs only to see how they look without him. Golden State opened the season 10-2, only to go 5-6 after Curry sustained a strained left groin in its Nov. 8 loss to Milwaukee. An offense that subsists on Curry’s playmaking and unrivaled shooting range became reliant on Kevin Durant in isolation situations. After losing four games in a row for the first time since Feb. 26-March 2, 2013, the Warriors needed the best three-game... Читать дальше...

The last time the 49ers traveled to Seattle with a winning record, they left with a broken heart. And their anguish came courtesy of two players they currently employ: cornerback Richard Sherman and linebacker Malcolm Smith. In January 2014, Sherman and Smith teamed for one of the most agonizing plays in 49ers’ history in Seattle’s 23-17 win in the NFC Championship Game. Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass intended for Michael Crabtree in the end zone and Smith grabbed the deflection to secure... Читать дальше...

Standout tight end Kaden Smith of Stanford will miss Saturday’s Big Game with a foot injury, joining a long list of sidelined players for the final game of the regular season. The Cardinal hope to have Smith back for a bowl game. His absence, for the second straight game, will mean increased roles for starter Colby Parkinson and backups Scooter Harrington and Tucker Fisk. Cal was hopeful that receiver Kanawai Noa could return from an undisclosed injury, but the junior, who has missed the past three games, did not participate in pregame warmups.

Travis Schlenk left his executive post with the Warriors last year to become the Atlanta Hawks’ general manager, and he’s made a number of moves that suggest a bright future. His call on Luka Doncic, however, appears to be a damaging misfire. Doncic is looking like a runaway winner of the Rookie of the Year award, at the expense of Trae Young and two or three others, and that’s a problem in Atlanta. The Hawks drafted Doncic with the No. 3 overall selection, only to trade his rights to Dallas for the fifth pick... Читать дальше...

LONDON (AP) — The latest minister to quit British Prime Minister Theresa May's government because of Brexit said Saturday that the prime minister's divorce agreement with the European Union would leave Britain outnumbered and outmaneuvered in future negotiations.

Conan O’Brien headed to Japan recently to collect a little coin and learn some manners. Turns out, his etiquette coach and her assistant over there could use a few lessons themselves.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Latest on the death of former President George H.W. Bush (all times local): 8:20 a.m. For some Iraqis, the death of George H. W. Bush has brought back bitter memories of the 1991 Persian Gulf War and the harsh U.N. economic sanctions that followed.
