Leon Gast’s remarkable film-which is intercut with terrific recent interviews with eyewitnesses Norman Mailer and George Plimpton–is about much more than one stupendous fight. Both a tribute to Ali and an evocation of a bygone era, it’s about the transformative moment when black America, flexing its newborn pride, encountered black Africa, in an event dreamed up by the aspiring promoter (and ex-con) Don King and funded by Zairean dictator Mobutu, who forked over $10 million....

When I donated a blood sample and officially joined the National Bone Marrow Registry, it just seemed like the thing to do. I saw a flier on a streetside fruit stand. I did not know the person for whom the drive was sponsored. I just went to a church hall where a temporary blood center had been set up and gave a little blood. Painless. The nurse assistants told me the chances were very slim that I would ever get called....

So what was Quibi, how did it get started, and why did it fail? Let’s take a look at Quibi’s history to see what went wrong with it. Quibi’s Promising Beginnings Quibi began life as NewTV in August 2018, designed as a streaming service that targeted younger audiences (millennials and Gen Z) with high-production video content delivered in quick 10-minute-max episodes. In fact, the name Quibi comes from “quick bites”....

Fanene’s grandfather and The Rock’s great grandmother were brother and sister, so they are not strictly cousins, but they are both part of the extended Samoan family on the Maivia side. Samoa Joe used a new theme song at the recent NXT TV tapings, which we’ll hear for the first time next Wednesday. Joe will be taking on Mike Rallis. Total Divas star Eva Marie who has been training one on one with Brian Kendrick, will be making her NXT in-ring debut on next week’s show, against KC Cassidy....

At issue is a feature of bankruptcy law known as a non-debtor release, which the Sackler family—owners of opioid maker Purdue Pharma—is trying to use to shield its entire corporate empire from current and future litigation. Facing a barrage of lawsuits over its role in the opioid epidemic, Connecticut-based Purdue declared bankruptcy in a New York court known for being friendly to corporate litigants. Last month, Judge Robert Drain approved the Sackler family’s sweeping immunity plan in the U....

The Yankee legend played his final baseball game on Sunday and just three days later launched his new “Players Tribune” website. In order to promote the new site, he took to Twitter for the very first time to engage in a Q&A with fans. But in typical fashion, the questions Jeter answered, and his responses, were rather stale. He likes to order a “Red Eye” at Starbucks, enjoys Gold Medal Ribbon ice cream from Baskin & Robbins, and is afraid of cats....

While we are all supportive of efforts to combat climate change, I applaud President Biden for highlighting the double standards of some U.S. clean energy groups. “There is simply no reason why the blades for wind turbines can’t be built in Pittsburgh instead of Beijing,” the President said in April. Having proudly represented the area around Steel City in the U.S. Congress, I agree with President Biden. America cannot rely on foreign imports of raw materials for the wind and solar industries, while American steelworkers and their families across our country, feel the pain....

One theory is that Sony is gussying up the film studios for sale. In addition to the write-off, Sony has paid off Guber and has slashed jobs. Suitors? The usual suspects, such as Barry Diller and David Geffen, deny any interest. But there could be a slew of potential buyers among the phone and cable companies. Michael Schulhof, president of Sony’s American division, insists that the company is in the movie business to stay....

So, you go home, tired, lazy but you haven’t forgotten about the game. “I’ll watch the highlights,” the voice in your head says, “I can even watch the recap, I got plenty of time tomorrow.” But then, you’ll know the result and that’s no fun. “I could try to be Ted Mosby when he is trying to not find out the result of the Superbowl, but I don’t have that much faith in myself....

Starring Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, and Daniel Craig once again as the detective Benoit Blanc, Glass Onion tells the story of a group of friends reuniting on a private island in the Pacific Ocean. This marked a truly distinct setting from the first film, which took place in the fall on the east coast of the United States. Any more details on the plot of this unique, unpredictable murder mystery would give away the many twists and turns planted by writer-director Rian Johnson....

Clustering, when student-athletes declare a major at a significantly higher rate than the general student population, is not inherently bad. No one will suggest anything untoward about 70 percent of Duke swimmers majoring in engineering. MORE from Infante: NCAA shouldn’t assume college sports are necessary | Potential autonomy legislation present problems for mid-majors Clustering gets its bad rap when the major in question appears to be a major in “eligibility”....

Two minutes later, Hayter had completed his hat-trick. It still remains the fastest in the history of English football. Unfortunately for Hayter, his parents had left the stadium early to catch a ferry to get back home and inadvertently missed their son’s extraordinary feat. In a way, that incident is a striking symbol of AFC Bournemouth’s story. For until recently, the Cherries could only remember every single achievement in their 125 years of existence being overshadowed by their generally mediocre state of affairs....

This game is even a good one for people who like things that go “bump in the night,” but without the outright horror that games from many similar, single-player-focused titles....
