Despite a record 3,000 U.S. mergers last year, he has warily cracked down on only a handful of deals. Perhaps most surprisingly, the FTC is leaning toward approval of the $14 billion merger announced last December between Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, even though the deal would leave America with a single manufacturer of large commercial aircraft....

In 1987, NEWSWEEK’S Stryker McGuire, now chief of correspondents, found himself deskbound. His solution: quit the magazine for a year or so to roam Latin America in a Toyota Land Cruiser, leaving his journalistic detachment back at 444 Madison Avenue. “Streets With No Names” is an impassioned, opinionated account of what he saw-and, more important, whom he met, from gauchos to guerrillas. “I was looking for liberation,” he writes, “and my real liberators were, of course, people....

Wenger confident of qualifying for Champions League Joe Hart’s loan to Torino and Claudio Bravo’s faltering first-season form in Manchester have seen Caballero rise to prominence under Pep Guardiola. The Argentine has made 26 appearances in all competitions, keeping nine clean sheets, but his contract - along with that of the likes of Jesus Navas, Yaya Toure and Gael Clichy - runs out next month. “I am waiting and doing my job,” Caballero said ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Watford....

That said, he has several reasons for transferring from Georgia to Tennessee: His offensive line coach at Georgia, Sam Pittman, just took over as head coach at Arkansas; Mays, a five-star recruit in the 2018 recruiting class, hails from Knoxville, Tenn....

The impact of the second plane had rattled the windows of my Brooklyn Heights apartment so violently I had thought they might break. I’d rushed to my roof to see the towers first burn, then fall. The falling steel and shards of glass glinted in the glorious late-summer sun as a low volcanic roar swept across the water. “You’re going the wrong way,” someone shouted. I kept walking, unable to say why....

A 1990s baby, my introduction to the NBA was Tracy McGrady sucking the gravity right out of the building, Kobe Bryant challenging Wilt Chamberlain’s scoring records on what felt like a nightly basis and Tim Duncan toying with teams one fundamentally sound bank shot at a time. That’s not to say I’m not well aware of how dominant Russell was, because every NBA fan is. His resume speaks for itself and his greatness pops even in the grainiest of YouTube videos....

Amnesty International USA announced its latest human rights campaign on Tuesday as it erected a handful of billboards near ICE offices and detention centers in Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

Allen found his favorite target, Stefon Diggs, early and often to help Buffalo build its lead. Mac Jones and the Patriots’ offense were unable to keep up. The Bills’ massive advantage in time of possession (38:08 to 21:52) helped to prevent any hopes of a comeback by the home team. Allen finished the night 22 of 33 for 223 yards and two touchdowns passing. He also gained 20 yards on eight carries....

In general, the most beneficial time to give vaccinations is before a biologic is started, but some might also be given when they are needed after that.
