I recently wrote that Ambassador Gordon Sondland’s testimony had officially turned this impeachment sham into something closer resembling the infamous Soviet show trials of 1936-38. That his testimony—that no one ever told him anything about a quid pro quo, he just inferred it—didn’t immediately end the impeachment inquiry is a national tragedy. Instead, Adam Schiff declared that the ambassador’s testimony confirmed the high crimes and misdemeanors of the president. The eagerly awaiting CNN, along with its print comrades The New York Times and The Washington Post, dutifully relayed his glorious revelation....

Sarri departed the Stadio San Paolo at the end of last season after Napoli narrowly missed out on dethroning Juventus in Serie A.

Not all cancer medications are referred to as chemotherapy. For example, targeted drugs, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy are different approaches to treatment that may be given as a drug. What Chemotherapy Does A cell becomes cancerous when an accumulation of mutations (damage to DNA) causes it to reproduce and divide out of control. Local treatments, such as surgery and radiation therapy, treat cancer where it begins. In contrast, chemotherapy—along with targeted therapies and immunotherapy—are systemic treatments that address cancer cells that are present anywhere in the body, not just the original site of the cancer....
