What gives me the most anguish today-and I think then-was the recognition of the errors we made, that the course we were on was not going to achieve our objective. I couldn’t seem to get us off that course and achieve the objective at less cost of human life. That was the stress. He [Craig McNamara now a farmer in California] was at Stanford and was eligible for a college deferment, but he decided not to request it....
Luckily, I live in a house with my two children, Seb, 11, and nine-year-old Oli, and my husband, Tom. So I have company. Sant Pere de Ribes went into lockdown really, really fast. We were told that schools would close on March 13 and that on March 16 restrictions would be put in place. But then the government moved those restrictions forward to March 14. We aren’t able to leave the house except for shopping, to go the pharmacy or to the vets....
Roger Federer is desperately hoping the dramatic re-emergence of the Grand Slam equal prize money row will not overshadow Wimbledon. French player Gilles Simon, who sits on the ATP Player Council alongside Swiss superstar Federer, reopened old wounds when he insisted that women, who play best-of-three sets rather than five, should receive less cash than men. But Federer, the world number three and a six-time Wimbledon champion, on Wednesday said: “I hope it doesn’t become a big issue during Wimbledon....

Costa: I’m waiting on Chelsea City paid a reported €40million to buy the 23-year-old from Portuguese champions Benfica, leaving Hart unsure of his future after spending last season on loan at Torino in Serie A.

Coming into this match, Thiem was on an 11-match winning streak in Austria that dated back to 2019. However, the home favorite couldn’t continue his run as foot blisters coupled with Rublev’s relentless tennis made matters impossible for him.

Later, we learned a 17-year-old part-time security guard had incorrectly assumed Adam was a part of an argument that occurred between the children playing the video game. The guard had split them into groups and ordered them out of the store through two separate doors. Adam had vanished, and our lives would never be the same. In the chaotic days that followed, I never gave up hope that Adam would be found safe and brought home....
Pulisic found the back of the net for Thomas Tuchel’s side against Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday. The 23-year-old’s goal helped the European champions earn a 2-0 victory over the French club in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie. Despite his contributions in the Champions League clash, the United States international has generally struggled to establish himself as a key player for Chelsea. Pulisic has managed just four goals and three assists from 22 games across all competitions for the Blues so far this season....
Sanchez was named on the bench for Wednesday’s goalless first leg, featuring as a second-half substitute at Stamford Bridge. The 29-year-old has been heavily touted for a switch to City, who failed to conclude a deadline-day swoop for the star back in August. Goal has confirmed that the two sides are now in talks over a January move for the Chile international. Nevertheless, Wenger remained defiant over the prospect of his star attacker leaving and has no doubts over his commitment to the cause....

The Gunners let Aubameyang join Barcelona for free on the final day of the winter transfer window. Manager Mikel Arteta did not have him in his plans for the remainder of the season and decided to transfer-list him. Unfortunately for the London outfit, no team was interested in paying the hefty sum needed to take the 32-year-old off their hands. La Liga giants Barcelona were reportedly keeping a close eye on the developing situation, and Aubameyang saw it as his best shot at joining them....
The Brazilian sealed the holders’ 3-1 win on Wednesday with a tremendous strike at the Santiago Bernabeu. Casemiro produced a spectacular 30-yard volley after a clearance fell to him in the 54th minute of Madrid’s win.

We met at an after-work event in Columbus, Ohio. I was a 27-year-old advertising account executive, and Harley was a 28-year-old attorney with a large law firm in town. I had created central Ohio’s first emergency walk-in shelter for homeless families. I just happened to need a handsome, smart attorney to file the legal papers. It was our first project together but would not be our last. After we married in 1990, we were fortunate to have four amazing children in five years and to settle into the charming community of Upper Arlington, Ohio....
Big blue masks obscured the bottom halves of our faces but revealed enough to let us and everyone around us know that we were the only two Asians on the street. Feeling other pedestrians’ stares and unconscious movements away from us, we picked up our pace. Light was fading and even shadows from the structures around us wouldn’t obscure our features or blend us in with other pedestrians. “Hey, what are you guys doing here?...
I was privileged to spend the better part of a decade with Mrs. Parks as her “host” at my residence, The O Museum in the Mansion, in Washington, D.C., and as her traveling companion. There was never a day during that time that I didn’t learn something about life and resilience from her. Mrs. Parks came into my life following a phone call in 1994 from someone who identified himself as Brother Willis Edwards, the head of the Beverly Hills chapter of the NAACP....
When we came back, things weren’t quite the same. There’s a phrase I heard, which was that it’s like you didn’t come back with your soul. When somebody said that, it really did cut a little bit deeper. I guess some people don’t come back as happy as they once were and tend to find coping mechanisms thereafter. After Afghanistan, I had a back injury and couldn’t train anymore, give lessons or play with my children....
That Saturday night, I was worried as hell. The Ex-Com, the group of advisers President Kennedy had brought together to deal with the Cuban missile crisis, had been meeting secretly for 12 days, ever since we were first shown the photos of Soviet missiles in Cuba. We had begun a blockade of Cuba, but there didn’t seem to be any peaceful way out of the crisis. We were all tired and worn....
We started dating, Nikki graduated and went on to college about a 30 minute drive away in Spearfish, and I followed her. I got a job and an apartment, and Nikki moved in while she was doing her classes. She decided that college wasn’t really for her, so we moved again to Rapid City, which is also in South Dakota, and we’ve been living there together ever since. In July this year, Nikki was having regular headaches and was feeling a lot of head pressure, but she thought it was sinus problems....
