Old standbys like New York’s Rainbow Room, the Ritz in Paris, London’s Savoy Hotel and Seattle’s aptly futuristic Space Needle are already booked. There’s always Times Square, where organizers are mapping out a massive 24-hour celebration, complete with live video hookups to parties around the world.

An epic and storied journey, a young boy from Leytonstone would go on to take the world by storm, becoming a global football icon and living the American Dream.

The man: Lee Harvey Oswald. The date: Sept. 28, 1963–less than two months before he would be arrested in Dallas for assassinating John F. Kennedy. The accounts of Oswald’s desperate visit to those communist embassies in the weeks before his rifle shots would change the course of history have long been one of the case’s most troubling issues. Was Oswald alone or with someone when he went to the embassies?...

The U.S. has already evacuated 2,000 people under the Special Immigrant Visa program. That initiative has capacity for 34,500 more applicants, but this may not be enough.

The House voted in favor of the resolution H....

The Democrat incumbent beat the Republican candidate endorsed by the former president on Tuesday night, achieving 51.4 percent of the votes compared to Walker’s 48.6. The result now means the Democrats have a 51-seat majority in the Senate, with the party already regaining control of the upper chamber in November. Even if Walker won Tuesday’s run-off election, the Democrats would still control the Senate in a 50-50 split by way of Vice President’s Kamala Harris’ tie-casting vote....

It came shortly after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave full approval to Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine and following a spike in virus-related deaths in the military. Vaccination deadlines vary depending on the military branch. Active duty Air Force personnel must be fully vaccinated by November 2, while the Navy’s deadline for active duty personnel is November 28. The Army’s deadline is December 15. But the vaccine mandate has led to some service members declaring on camera that they are refusing to get the shot, despite the risk that they may face discipline or even be discharged for failing to comply without an approved exemption....

Trump had long repeated baseless claims that voter fraud perpetrated by the Democrats had caused Trump to lose the election. Attorneys had filed multiple pieces of litigation in an attempt to reverse the election results. However, a majority of those lawsuits were unsuccessful. Trump supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol building in an attempt to halt the Congressional certification of the electoral votes on Wednesday, a riot which left 4 people dead....

The real shocker is that either man would be an improvement in Peru. Whatever its final outcome, the election will end the chaos that began with last year’s corrupt elections and bring to power a legitimate, democratically elected president. That will be good news for Peru, but maybe not for the winner. A host of daunting challenges faces him–from a faltering war on drug trafficking to the ongoing search for former spymaster Vladimiro Montesinos....
