The defending champions slumped to a third defeat in their last four games and their most emphatic at Oracle Arena during Kerr’s five-year tenure.

The song–a raw, roiling aria of defiance and pain–is sung by Effie (Hudson), the hefty, difficult, soulful lead of the Dreamettes, an aspiring Detroit girl group in the early ’60s (think the Supremes) who are about to cross over from the chitlins circuit to mainstream success. But to achieve this goal, Effie must be dumped as lead singer in place of Deena (Beyoncé Knowles), who has half the voice but is svelte, light-skinned and malleable....

YOU’D THINK SEN. BOB DOLE would be clucking about the Bill Clinton Chicken Story. It’s true, and goes like this. At an antiterrorism summit in Egypt last month, the president met with Boris Yeltsin, promising to help the Russian president win re-election next month. Clinton added that Yeltsin might want to settle some “negative” issues. One of them, according to leaked notes of the meeting, was chicken. Russia was threatening to ban imports of frozen poultry....

On one level, all the back-and-forth about “shortfalls” and “projections,” “caps” and “weighted averages,” is pointless. No matter who’s elected, none of these plans will remain intact when the new Congress gets done with them. Recent history suggests that every number put out by a campaign this year will change, probably several times over. But at least when they talk about taxes and budgets, the candidates are discussing society’s fundamental economic arrangements....

Now 28, Fowler has struggled to hit the heights of 2014, when he finished in the top five at each major. His best result since then came at Augusta in 2015 when he finished tied for 12th, before missing the cut last time around. Fowler has enjoyed a positive start to 2017, however, with a win at the Honda Classic in February and, as he faced the media at Augusta on Monday, the American was asked how he felt his achievements to date matched up to his own expectations....

However, in their recent decision, the federation has put faith behind a few young girls in the circuit and even had three under-18 players in the Fed Cup camp.

NEAR THE END OF HIS DEVASTATINGLY depressing yet profoundly humane “Old Friends,” Tracy Kidder quotes the newspaper obit once written for Joe Torchio, a resident of the Massachusetts nursing home Kidder observed for a year, and one of the book’s two main subjects.

So it was, one recent Sunday, that my husband and I found ourselves sitting in a small room at an employment agency, poring over the files of eight job applicants. We read details of their family background, how many children they had left behind in the Philippines or Indonesia, previous working experience, whether they were willing to cut their hair or cook pork. Hiring someone to whom you’re going to entrust your house and children is no easy task....

Darwin recognized more than 100 years ago that Homo sapiens evolved by the same process as every other species on earth. And philosophers such as William James were eager to apply Darwin’s insights to human psychology. But during the first part of this century, the rise of ““social Darwinism’’ (a non-Darwinian, sink-or-swim political philosophy) and later Nazi eugenics spawned a deep suspicion of biologically inspired social science. By 1954, anthropologist Ashley Montagu was declaring that mankind has ““no instincts because everything he is and has become he has learned, acquired, from his culture....

Chennaiyin FC could have had the best possible start as a long ball completely tore apart Odisha FC’s defense. Forward Jakub Sylvestr left the ball knowing that he was off-side and Rahim Ali made a sprint for it. The former India U-17 player had acres of space but he took too many touches and this allowed Arshdeep Singh to collect the ball. At the other end, Odisha FC got a couple of decent chances but the assistant referee raised his flag for offside on both occasions....

NorthEast United FC immediately pressed Dheeraj Singh at the start of the game given how jittery he was in the last match against SC East Bengal. FC Goa also came into the game later with Devendra Murgaonkar getting on the end of a Seriton Fernandes cross. However, his shot was wide of the target. In the 13th minute, Deshorn Brown had a half-chance from a Federico Gallego free-kick but his header was deflected out of play....

The U.S. stance for the last two decades since the “war on terror” was declared after 9/11 has been to view groups such as Uyghurs factions as enemy actors, due to their reported links to Al-Qaeda.
