It was the deadliest U.S. jetliner crash since terrorists blew up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. Initially, experts thought Colombian controllers speaking broken English caused the accident. But a senior U.S. air-safety official told NEWSWEEK that pilot error – or errors – led to the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration is studying American Airlines’ prior training to see if the blunders that apparently doomed Flight 965 are isolated or systemic....

Hart’s death, at the age of 33, presented a rare opportunity for the world of pro wrestling to reflect on its values, message and contribution to society, which it seemed only too happy to pass up. At a lachrymose tribute on the following night’s “Raw Is War” broadcast, reigning superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin gave the crowd the finger in Hart’s honor, then movingly smashed together a couple of beer cans....

The gun issue has, for decades, served as one of our nation’s most clearly demarcated partisan battle lines. The Supreme Court, in the landmark 2008 decision of District of Columbia v. Heller, established for the very first time an individual constitutional right to possess firearms in “common use” for lawful/defensive purposes. But the scope of the Court’s holding continues to be litigated, and gun control advocates have continued to advance many of their preferred policies—perhaps especially so, in the aftermath of a wave of high-profile mass shootings in recent years....

Welcome to the defense debate of the 1990s. The struggle between hawks and doves is history. An entirely different battle lies ahead, pitting proponents of radically new weaponry against defenders of current technology-and the vast industrial complex erected since World War II. Last week Washington was in an uproar over a presidential commission’s recommendation to close 25 military bases and 10 laboratories by 1997 and eliminate 37,000 civilian jobs. That’s just a taste of what’s ahead for private industry-and workers....

This all started, I now can see, when she concocted herself as a victim, somewhere along the line. Yes, we cruelly took away her “normalcy,” she’d tell her attorney in a more perfect world. She thinks of herself as Anne Frank, without the nasty Holocaust bits. We are “Nazis” who removed an 11-year-old girl from her pre-teen society and stole from her the experience of the latest movies, gossip, TV programs, rap releases, celebrity and fashion magazines, and other moronic diversions of her age and time in America....

“Heaven” is a track on the star’s newly released album Holy Fvck and the 29-year-old has confirmed it is about Matthew 5:30. “Matthew 5:30 says, ‘If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off; [for] it’s better to lose one part of your body than your entire body to hell.’ That was a Bible verse I heard since I was young—too young to know what masturbation was,” Lovato said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times....

But In 2022, despite a rough start with rising inflation, Democrats feel that the end of federal abortion protections by the Supreme Court, coupled with their legislative success in passing sweeping legislation addressing climate change and lowering health care costs, will reverse that erosion and provide them with the motivated electorate they need for victory in the November midterms. But a new initiative from major progressive donor groups and foundations seeks to take a longer view....
