He led the league in wins twice and was an All Star six times....
Following the September 8 death of Queen Elizabeth II, detractors have spoken out about the global impact of British imperialism. They have also demanded the return of “stolen” precious jewels to former colonies. Following the “Scramble for Africa” in the 1880s, Britain came to control an estimated 30 percent of the continent’s population, and a number of African kingdoms were destroyed. Scholars also argue that many nations in Africa and around the world continue to endure the malign effects of colonialism....

Until Friday, Canseco had not been back to the Coliseum since his playing days ended and he wrote his infamous book that alleged rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout baseball. He had no idea how his former teammates, coaches and fans would receive him — or if they would receive him at all. “I’m kind of putting myself out there in the most vulnerable state possible,” said the 50-year-old Canseco, who was still looking big and buff in his white A’s jersey....
The Canucks used the No. 80 overall pick to draft Swedish defenseman Elias Pettersson, giving them two players with the same exact name in their organization.

Steven Kleinman: There was a program at Fort Hunt … a really fascinating program, very thoughtful, very systematic approach to interrogating very senior German military officers, government officials, technical experts, people that they had captured overseas.

Protesters, some armed, clashed with Capitol police as they tried to break into the premises during a joint session of Congress, which was temporarily suspended and its members put on lockdown before National Guard troops were dispatched to secure the area....
His borrow-and-spend budget even shortchanges some of his alleged priorities. Money for medical research is flat-lined, barely keeping up with inflation. Funding for his “No child left behind” education bill is scaled back. Other assistance programs in Africa are raided to pay for Bush’s pledge to fight AIDS in Africa. Add to this the states that are looking to Congress for help, and it’s a very sobering time for Democrats and Republicans alike....

In a motion filed with the U.S. District Court District of Columbia on Friday, Barnett’s defense attorneys Joseph D. McBride and Steven A. Metcalf accused the federal government of misquoting the defendant in a note that he had left in Pelosi’s office on January 6. “Hey Nancy Bigo was here Biatd,” the note read. In a footnote, the defense attorneys said that “the ’d’ was meant to be two letters, ‘c’ and ‘h’ with the ‘c’ connected to an ‘h’ to spell the word ‘biatch’ which is a slang and less offensive word for ‘b**ch....
