The carnage was so appalling that Washington, after months of foot-dragging, stiffened its resolve to get tough on Belgrade. Having watched the European Community repeatedly fail to restore order, Baker had come to regard the growing Yugoslav conflict as a test of U.S. leadership in a post-cold-war world....

“They were literally overwhelmed,” Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Chief Ralph Terrazas said of the firefighters on the scene, while speaking during a press conference. “They had to make some tough decisions on which houses they were able to protect. I saw homes that were adjacent to homes that were totally destroyed, without any damage.” Early Monday morning, a brush fire ignited along the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles, and its proximity to the Getty Center earned it the name Getty Fire....

Maxwell’s sheets were taken away in addition to her clothing, the news service reported Thursday. Maxwell, who is the British heiress to her father’s publishing empire, was arrested last Thursday in Bradford, New Hampshire, nearly a year after Epstein was taken into custody on federal sex-trafficking charges.

The former president was asked about the British socialite in July last year after her arrest on sex trafficking charges related to her former lover Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell is preparing for her trial later this month, when prosecutors will say she groomed minors for Epstein to abuse between 1994 and 2004. She pleaded not guilty. Trump told a July press conference: “I don’t know, I haven’t really been following it too much....

According to federal prosecutors, Maxwell aided Epstein by pushing girls to have sex with him, some as young as 14. Federal prosecutors also say Maxwell lied about knowing of Epstein’s crimes during testimony in an earlier case.

The former president was asked about Maxwell and whether she might name names during a press conference in July 2020, shortly after her arrest by the FBI.

I have met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach....
Among mountaineers, solving this puzzle would be akin to finding a manuscript of “Othello” in an envelope with Shakespeare’s return address. Thus, on the morning of May 1, five American climbers fanned out on a steep and rocky slope at about 27,000 feet. They were part of an eight-member team of some of the world’s top mountaineers (and a PBS documentary crew), hoping both to find the remains of Mallory and Irvine and to determine if they had reached the summit before dying–29 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first recognized ascent, in 1953....
The Miami Marlins right fielder injured his wrist when he ran into the wall chasing a fly ball in the first inning. He homered in the bottom of the first but departed after six innings, compounding the sting of a 6-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Stanton said the injury wasn't serious, and he expected to be back in the lineup Thursday against the New York Mets. But he said his wrist bothered him more as the game progressed, and it was swollen after the game....
The huge saltwater crocodile named Elvis—who lives at the Australian Reptile Park in New South Wales—had three teeth growing the wrong way, causing an abscess. Keepers restrained the reptile in order to remove them, but he was “not happy about it,” park operations manager Billy Collett says in a video. The huge reptile woke up during surgery, thrashing his head around. Elvis first came to the park in 2007, and has never been captured since....
The officers from the Argentina Naval Prefecture, a police force that operates as a coast guard and river protection service, were patrolling the Ezequiel Ramos Mexia Reservoir on the Argentinean side of Patagonia, which is divided from the Chilean side by the Andes Mountains, when they made the discovery. “While conducting a patrol to provide security in the area, the team spotted 13 footprints on a rocky terrain and some fallen rocks, located about four kilometers [2....
The two-time Cy Young Award winner graciously accepted congratulations on heading to the World Series for the third time in five years, but he did not want to talk. Once the center of the Giants’ universe, and a pitcher who had 43 strikeouts in 37 innings in the 2010 championship run, Lincecum slipped in the pecking order to swingman for the Giants’ 2012 march to the title, and while he has been on the active roster in this year’s playoffs, he has not gotten on the mound....

Giants coach Pat Shurmur said at a news conference Monday that all aspects of the team’s operations are under review heading into Week 3 after a 0-2 start, including a possible quarterback change. “He’s been our starter to this point,” Shurmur said when asked if Manning is still his starter (via NFL Media). “I’m not ready to talk about that.” A transition to rookie Daniel Jones has been viewed as inevitable since the Giants stunned observers by drafting the former Duke quarterback sixth overall in April....

Certainly we are at a moment when what was once down is now very much up. Thirty years ago, around the time a Seattle private-school student named Bill Gates was twiddling his first bits, the Rolling Stones emerged as the dark side of the British pop invasion–scruffy-looking London rats whose songs were too hot for Ed Sullivan to handle uncensored. One album title said it all: they were exiles on Main Street....
