To this point, which is only three games, Rose has not played to the level expected of him. Rose has had moments, such as his game-winning shot against the Knicks, but most of the the Bulls' early season has been a struggle. The shot percentage is rough, and so are the turnover numbers. Rose averages 14.3 points, 4.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds, but is shooting 28.8 percent from the field and already has turned the ball over 17 times....

Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents seemed hard pressed to find new thrills for nonchalant kids. I saw this pattern in my family, in the sons and daughters of friends and neighbors and in many of my patients with behavioral and emotional problems. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young faces were looking disappointed and bored. By August, neighborhood parents were comparing their children’s complaints of ““nothing to do” to the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard....

Still, a lot of our men died fighting. You had to have bayonets. I did use them; I had to use them to be talking to you now. That’s hand-to-hand fighting. When you use your bayonet, you use your knife. When you shoot them, they’re dead. As long as they were living you had to fight them. Most of the men died of disease. Pneumonia. They got it in trenches and when you sleep on the wet ground....
Christopher Taplin, 33, was supposed to drop the 13-year-old off on Monday morning at her middle school in Brusly, Louisiana. The bus driver let other students off but kept the girl on board alone. The Brusly Police Department said that Taplin held the student on board for about 10 minutes, according to local news stations. He spent this time allegedly professing his love for the girl and “pouring his heart out to her,” making inappropriate comments before he allowed her to leave, said police....

Polesitter Joey Logano was second. Chase Elliott, Chris Buescher and Elliott Sadler completed the top five. Elliott maintained his grip on the points lead with five races left.

My wife guessed immediately. A day later I took a taxi to a Virginia hotel–not the usual rendezvous at Andrews Air Force Base, where someone might see the press arrive. Another White House aide told us to surrender our cell phones, pagers and BlackBerrys. At dusk our plain white vans backed up to the stairs of Air Force One, parked close to its hangar, out of sight of the terminal....
Democrats scoff at comparing George Bush to Winston Churchill, but they seem to think their 1992 presidential candidate can play Clement Attlee, the British Labor Party leader in 1945. At the close of World War II, Attlee unseated Churchill as prime minister with a “come home” platform like the one Democrats hope to offer now. Despite the euphoria over the gulf war and the collapse of Soviet communism, it’s wishful thinking just plausible enough to sustain Democrats, says Republican analyst Kevin Phillips....
The highlights: U.S. stocks have lost almost $5 trillion of value since Bush took office two years ago, a mind-blowing decline. The market has fallen more (in percentage terms) during Bush’s first two years than in the first two years of any modern president, including Herbert Hoover, who was in charge when the Great Depression began. And you can’t blame the Bush Market on the trauma of 9-11: stocks fell at a much faster rate from Bush’s Inauguration through Sept....
COVID has been a rollercoaster, both practically and emotionally, full of peaks and troughs. The initial shock, disbelief and denial when COVID first hit, were met with a heroic response from essential workers. But as time passed, we recognized this was going to be a marathon, not a sprint. The vaccine vision gave us a positive boost, but then the realization dawned that we wouldn’t see an impact until early 2021 dampened spirits....

Debra Garnes, the mayor of Rio Dell, 25 miles south of Eureka, stated that residents of her town felt “intense shaking” at the time of the earthquake....
Chihiro and her friends are no ordinary shoppers; they are about the only dynamic consumers left in the sluggish Japanese economy. Marketers call them “bubble juniors”: the 9- to 14-year-old daughters of Japanese women who spent lavishly as carefree twentysomethings during Japan’s “bubble” years of the 1980s. “They are the potential trendsetters, like college girls in the 1980s and high-school girls in the 1990s,” says Hiroyuki Chiba, brand manager of Penty’s, a popular junior brand known for its provocative look....

That’s not how I’ll remember him in a week or in two years or 10 years from now. I’ll remember his smile and his zest for life and his love for the game of baseball, for his courage in escaping Cuba and his devotion to his family and the way he made everyone he came in contact with leave with a better outlook on life. As we try to somehow wrap our minds around Fernández’s tragic and incomprehensible death, there are lots of folks out there telling stories about baseball’s most engaging personality....
