The muscular approach hasn’t always served him well. His failed 1988 campaign left him with a reputation as an arrogant know-it-all. But in recent years, Gore has dispatched a series of competitors that include Ross Perot, Jack Kemp and Bill Bradley. While he has often struggled on the stump, debates, with their structured formats and rewards for those who do their homework, play closer to his strengths as a campaigner....
During the assignment, I learned that lesson firsthand. One afternoon at a plant outside St. Petersburg, an engineer grinned and beckoned me over. He pulled back a segment of the floor and revealed a pool of water. There was a wonderful blue glow from a few feet below the surface. “Spent fuel rods–beautiful,” he said with a laugh. I shot my reflection in the water. Julia, my long-suffering companion and translator, came over and told me that her dosimeter had gone off the scale....

The 47-year-old is known for ranting and raving on the touchline but he looked serene in the face of an ugly situation that appears to extend beyond the pitch. Being sacked by Roman Abramovich’s Chelsea is no longer a sign of failure, with world class coaching talent let go biennially. Two years is generous, in fact: Blues boss average less than 500 days at the helm. Chelsea’s next opponents are West Brom and the club is on a brink of yet another crisis, with the disastrous prospect of missing out on the Champions League twice in three years looming large on the horizon....

Ariana DeBose (West Side Story), Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye), and Troy Kotsur (CODA) were among the stars who walked away with big acting wins for their screen efforts.

The strongest collection of basketball programs ever assembled in one conference is 10th in league RPI. The strongest collection of basketball programs ever assembled in one conference owns losses to USC-Upstate, Oregon State, Belmont, Toledo, Indiana State, and St. Francis (N.Y.). All at home.

Having lost three of six since Kevin Durant went down with an ankle injury, the Thunder should be playing at a much different level once the reigning MVP returns to the lineup Wednesday. Winners of seven straight home games against Phoenix, the Thunder will look to finish out the calendar year on a winning note. AccuScore has the Thunder as solid 67.8 percent favorites to win.

Director James Cameron yells ““Rolling!’’ and stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio run forward, grabbing for the railing. Winslet’s satin evening shoes tangle in the delicate train of her dress. DiCaprio holds her bravely. As the ill-fated lovers (she’s first class; he’s in steerage) who carry the tale, they’re about to discover if they’ll live or drown. It took one of the biggest-thinking directors in Hollywood to conjure a ““Titanic’’ for the ’90s: a high-tech, in-your-face scarefest that will breathlessly transport audiences to the past....
On Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2000, Peter was diagnosed with high-risk leukemia, and a bomb was dropped into the middle of our perfect little life.
