He’s known to walk alone and fend for himself, not taking too kindly to outsiders. Needless to say, the Mastodon is the animalistic twin to the man they call Vader. Born Leon Allen White, his birth was induced early, due to complications and fear that if they waited much longer, the mother may suffer and possibly die from trouble related to delivering the massive newborn. At the time of his birth, Leon tipped the scales at a whopping 11 pounds and 23 inches long....

I grabbed a couple of SEALs and with two other American advisers we got two jeeps, one with a mounted .50-caliber machine gun. We used the jeeps to find civilians. Our first order of business was to get Maggie O’Brien, a civilian nurse who worked in a nearby hospital. We rounded a corner toward her house and got a horrendous amount of fire. The back of the house had been blown away by rocket fire....

The first deal, negotiated under former President Barack Obama and then scrapped by former President Donald Trump, succeeded in so far as it put a stop to Tehran’s nuclear program, but failed to create the transformational investment, development and integration that Iran wanted and needed. For too long, U.S. policy toward Iran has been all stick and no carrot—but it is a carrot that Tehran ultimately wants. For the U....

The pilots’ war was as murky as the night they fought in. When the Reagan administration decided in 1987 to protect oil tankers traveling through the gulf, it calculated that the sheer presence of U.S. naval forces would scare the Iranians off. On the very first convoy, however, a tanker called the Bridgeton struck an Iranian mine. And the American Navy, it turned out, had no modern minesweepers. For Washington, the embarrassment was a crisis....

A quick side note: a lot of the festive spirit available in The Sims 4 comes from the Seasons expansion pack.

Other than Seasons, however, players shouldn’t need any particular expansion packs to try out these ideas....

So far all that has been shared is a gif of a windmill with the caption “Green Plumbobs? I’m a big fan!” The linked YouTube video is titled “How green is your Plumbob?” and features a still from the same gif as its thumbnail, meaning fans will know what’s going on soon enough. Although this is almost guaranteed to be related to The Sims 4, nothing is confirmed yet....

Stock characters are an important part of almost every genre of fiction. Like the commedia dell’arte of the 16th century, there are just certain archetypes that are expected to show up in certain narratives. Sci-fi also has its cast of stock characters, one of which has a fascinating evolution from the 18th century to the modern-day.

Turow has always been more interested in character than in adrenaline. “Injuries” is an uneven novel, though the players are all deftly drawn. There’s Feaver, who’s astonishingly annoying at first, but ultimately a tragic figure. There are the judges he betrays, among them the warm, elderly Barnett Skolnick and the brilliant, raging Sherman Crowthers. And then there’s “Evon,” a hard-edged FBI agent assigned to follow Feaver. (Evon is a lesbian, her life undercover being Turow’s heavy-handed metaphor for life in the closet....

Harris, all 6-2, 230 pounds of him, leapt clear over Notre Dame’s 6-foot defensive back Nick McCloud en route to a 53-yard gain. That McCloud attempted to tackle Harris high instead of low only makes the feat all the more impressive: For those who do watch the Crimson Tide, however, Harris’ hurdle was merely the latest in a long line at Alabama; he has been known to clear defenders ever since his freshman campaign....

The current West Indian team is probably the poorest West Indian team ever. What’s sad is, it wasn’t once upon a time. In the 70s and 80s, West Indies were a global dominating team, feared to play against by each and every nation. In the 90s and 2000s, they were fierce competitors that gave every team a run for their money, still producing players who would go on to become legends of the game....
