Presidential polities has, at times, an eerie rhythm. In the first week of October 1980, another desperate incumbent decided to lash out at his opponent and found, according to NEWSWEEK, that “the politics of insult, and the inflamed media reaction to it, had in fact [hurt] him more than the enemy.” The Washington Post said Jimmy Carter had gone “haywire.” Herblock portrayed him as slinging mud in a gutter. His opponent noted, in sorrow, that the president was “nearing the point of hysteria....

The 26-year-old says he had always planned to go to business school. What he hadn’t counted on was getting a master’s in information systems at the same time. Davenport, who spent four years managing a call center for Capital One after graduating from Vanderbilt University, had no interest in pursuing a career in technology. But he says he quickly realized that if he wanted to be successful in business–regardless of the area he chose–he needed to bone up on his tech skills....

Abdallah Chatila, who runs a multimillion-dollar diamond business in Geneva, Switzerland, is reported to have spent more than €500,000 ($550,000) on the items at an auction in Munich, Germany. The lot included a top hat worn by Hitler, as well as a cigar box, typewriter, and a silver-plated copy of his book Mein Kampf, reports Le Matin Dimanche. “Far-right populism and anti-Semitism are spreading all over Europe and the world, I did not want these objects to fall into the wrong hands and to be used by people with dishonest intentions”, Chatila told the Swiss newspaper....

Rounding out the top five was Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar with 12.3 percent. Buttigieg was informed of his lead by CNN’s Chris Cuomo at the beginning of Buttigieg’s town hall meeting in New Hampshire Thursday night. “That’s fantastic news to hear that we won,” Buttigieg said....

Stein has characteristically taken an unlikely path in his “How to Ruin Your Financial Life,” out later this month. He doesn’t intend for readers to actually follow his advice. Instead, he says, “I thought I’d say what not to do, and if you recognize yourself doing a bunch of these things, maybe you’ll do the opposite.” Sample rules: “Collect as many credit cards as you can” and “compete with your friends to see who can own the most expensive and high-status possessions....

Why, then, would anyone possibly want one of the two teams scheduled to join the National League in 1993? Just ask the boosters of the six cities - Buffalo, Denver, Miami, Orlando, Tampa Bay and Washington - that are finalists for the major leagues’ first expansion since 1977. They’ll tell you this isn’t simply a matter of owning the local McDonald’s franchise. This is baseball - the national pastime, the root of all that’s right in America, the reason why Opening Days throughout the land this week are celebrated as the first real sign of spring....

The unlimited potential that both Harper and Puig possess has been well-documented, and at times, on full display. The solid, if not strong, production from the pair means they are better reaches than some of the hot-shot rookies and prospects that will be snatched up multiple rounds too early. A reach is a reach, though, and at their current draft locations, fantasy owners are rolling the dice if they're looking to add Harper or Puig to their squads....

The second man to walk on the lunar surface had to go into quarantine for 21 days—alongside his Apollo 11 crew mates Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins—after coming back from the moon in 1969. This was to prevent the astronauts from spreading any potential pathogens that they may have picked up during their moon mission—a possibility that was considered remote, at the time, although NASA took the necessary precautions anyway....

In 1997, Anderson Silva competed in his first professional MMA fight. Jake Paul was born that year. In 2020, Paul competed in his first boxing bout, while Silva had his final MMA bout while with the UFC. Will age play a factor in this fight? What about skill? One must take into account that Silva competed against opponents with a combined record (before they fought him) of 60-7-1. Paul has four wins via knockout in five fights....

Instead of taking on two Pac-12 opponents, two Big Ten schools and an SEC team in the first eight games, they’ve faced an all-Group of 5 slate. The toughest foe has been No. 21 Boise State, which BYU crushed 51-17 on Friday night in Boise to remain unbeaten. WEEK 10: Bowl projections | Playoff picture Before this week, the top opponents on the Cougars’ revised schedule were AAC schools Navy (55-3 in Week 1) and Houston (43-26 in Week 7)....

“In moments of crisis and instability such as this one, we must ensure that humanitarian aid is delivered to those most in need,” Richardson said. Myanmar has been tied up in civil unrest and violence since a military coup seized power in February. Protests have taken place and many protesters faced arrests and beatings. Since the takeover in February, security forces have killed more than 1,200 people. The Biden administration said Monday it welcomes the private mission as a way to help speed humanitarian access to the country....

Appearing on the CNBC show Squawk Box Wednesday, the Bronx-born chairman and CEO of Omega Advisors offered his thoughts on what a potential victory from the Massachusetts senator would do to the country’s economy. “If Elizabeth Warren is elected president, in my opinion, the market drops 25%,” Cooperman said. “Bernie Sanders, same thing.” Last month, the billionaire hedge fund manager shared similar sentiments at a Delivering Alpha conference. “They won’t open the stock market if Elizabeth Warren is the next president,” he quipped....

McCoy, who underwent surgery Monday after dislocating his thumb in Week 11, rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns in a 28-21 win over the Jaguars. He also hauled in 31 yards receiving. FANTASY: Week 12 RB rankings After a brutal first half, in which McCoy was only able to muster 5 yards on eight carries, he burst out of his shell with two touchdowns in less than 40 seconds....

That would be Bills backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Ahead of free agency, it seems like the Trubisky hype train is picking up steam leaving the station, fueled initially by Bills GM Brandon Beane. NFL MOCK DRAFT: Malik Willis first QB off the board in pre-combine mock Beane spoke highly of Trubisky at the 2022 NFL Combine on Tuesday. That said, the way in which he commended Trubisky was rather. ....

According to the Buffalo News, Taylor is headed to Philadelphia to determine whether or not he needs surgery on his groin. The report said Taylor had been dealing with the injury for “the better part of a month.” After the Bills fired Rex Ryan on Tuesday, it was announced EJ Manuel would start in place of Taylor, who had just thrown for 329 yards and three touchdowns in an overtime loss against the Dolphins last week....

However, despite Mahomes’ experience, the Kansas City quarterback will face something he never has before against the Bills. He will enter a home contest as an underdog. Mahomes previously had been favored in each of his 41 games at Arrowhead Stadium dating back even to his first start in Week 17 of the 2017 season against the Titans. But now, that streak is broken as the Bills ride into town as three-point favorites....

Newsweek spoke to the main cast of Thornton, Nina Arianda and Tania Raymonde as they reflected on their time on the show and looked ahead to what Season 4 has in store. Why ‘Goliath’ Is Ending Now Goliath has consistently received rave reviews, attracted huge guest stars each season and even won Thornton his second Golden Globe Award for his performance as a brilliant but deeply flawed lawyer.

This article will provide an overview of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, including causes, symptoms, and complications. BHD Syndrome Causes BHD is a genetic disease, which means it is caused by a change (mutation) in the body’s genetic code—the set of instructions within a gene that directs cells on how to make a specific protein.

Creating the East Mojave Desert was one thing, and a majestic one at that. Creating the East Mojave National Park has not been nearly as pretty For 18 bruising years, interest groups have fought over environmental issues like endangered species, mining reform and grazing rights; federal agencies have waged an internecine war; proponents have caved in on more issues than Bill Clinton trying to pass his budget. But if the process has been unappetizing, it has also-amazingly-succeeded....

[Later Agnew was recruited to work with Robert Oppenheimer’s team at Los Alamos.] It was just a madhouse. Construction everywhere. Mud roads, no pavement. A frontier town, except the cowboys were very smart. In late ‘44, [physicist] Luis Alvarez convinced Oppy we ought to try to measure the yield of the bomb, and I heard there was a chance of going overseas as part of that team. So I saw Alvarez and signed up....
