The Stats That Show Buffon Is Juventus S Key Man Against Real Madrid

The Juventus goalkeeper has won every other major prize the game has to offer and will be the player the Italians look to inspire them to glory in the European decider in Cardiff. The 39-year-old has enjoyed another stellar campaign and his importance has been especially evident on European nights when Juve’s defence has looked impregnable at times. While he works behind a world-class back line, much of Juve’s formidable defensive record is due to their goalkeeper, as the Opta’s xG model demonstrates....

The Story Behind Campaign 2000

A Lost Generation There was no single moment when Ellis Cose realized he wanted to write his cover story on America’s prisons. “So many people I talked to in the civil-rights community and the neighborhoods ended up talking about prisons,” says Cose, who has written about race for NEWSWEEK for the past seven years. The topic, he says, “is one of this country’s most important issues. The Widow Seuss...

The Strains In Spain

El Ejido is at the center of the worst racial violence to afflict Spain in decades. The pressures have been building ever since farm technology and imported cheap labor transformed a stretch of the Costa del Sol into a $2.4 billion-a-year market garden. Three murders over the past month–all blamed on Moroccans–ignited public protests by Spaniards. Last week the situation grew even more tense. Greenhouse operators fired Moroccan workers en masse, 500 antiriot police moved into El Ejido and dozens of workers fled Spain....

The Sultan Of The Suburbs

Jack Kemp understands that the old GOP model needs an overhaul, with more emphasis on creative conservative solutions and less on stale cultural recriminations. Last week he was in Memphis hitting Clinton for ““abandoning the cities’’–the same forsaken neighborhoods that once led Agnew to say ““if you’ve seen one ghetto, you’ve seen them all.’’ But Kemp’s talking 2000. For now, the GOP is stuck with a presidential nominee still working from the 1968 playbook....

The Suicide Squad Is The Movie The Dceu Needs Right Now

With the positive reception of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, DC fans have scored a major victory for their beloved franchise, but it likely won’t have the lasting impact they were hoping for. Despite the continued and vocal passion from fans, it looks very unlikely Zack Snyder’s original vision for the DCEU will be moving ahead. Beyond that, the cinematic universe is a real mess right now. Wonder Woman 1984 was a letdown for many fans....

The Retirement Bells For Ms Dhoni In T20 Cricket Have Started Ringing Loud And Clear

But seven years down the line, things don’t seem too cool for the man once called “Captain Cool”. Dhoni’s aggression while maintaining decorum, modesty coupled with superstardom, ability to finish off games with ease - these were just a few of the many things that gained him popularity. Under his captaincy India won the first ever T20 World Cup in South Africa back in 2007. He even led India to the 2014 T20 World Cup final where they lost to Sri Lanka, and to the 2016 T20 semifinal where they lost to eventual winners West Indies....

The Road To Capital

A self-taught Marxist, Mugabe is an unlikely candidate for sudden conversion. His government has paid lip service to liberalization in the past, privatizing state assets and extending a grudging welcome to multinationals. Now, however, a plunging currency and 200 percent inflation have destroyed much of the industry developed since Mugabe led the drive to independence in 1980. More than half Zimbabwe’s commercial farmland lies fallow in the wake of his grab for the property of white farmers....

Surprisingly, bunk beds weren’t a feature in Sims 4 prior to its recent announcement, despite fans asking for it since the game’s release in 2014. Before, players have had to create bunk beds with makeshift objects if they wanted to use them or conserve space, such as with the new platform tool that came in the Sims 4: Snowy Escape DLC pack. Players were also able to use this feature to create attractive loft beds in studio apartments or other small living areas....

The Stages Of Grief

Grief is a complex process. Unlike bereavement–its public face –grief is an internal process that can’t be rushed or explained away. “The head knows what happened, but the heart just won’t accept it,” says Rabbi Earl Grollman, a professional grief counselor from Boston who was summoned to Oklahoma City to work with families and clergy. While the heart breaks, other emotions surface–anger, guilt and fear–and they must be dealt with before grief can do its slow work of healing....

Still, Annan was clearly in the doghouse at Bill Clinton’s White House. The brouhaha marked what may be a new level of estrangement between the United Nations and its once proud parent, the United States. By the weekend, in an effort to take control of the embarrassing story, Clinton administration officials leaked volumes about U.S. intelligence operations, usually the most closely guarded of state secrets. Sure, we spied on Iraq, using sophisticated listening devices, they said, but we always did so to assist UNSCOM in its mandate to ferret out Iraq’s weapons secrets....
