The mini-series makes one major detour from its literary source. It is alternately narrated by the voices of Elizabeth Custer, the general’s adoring wife, and Kate Bighead, an Indian woman who allegedly witnessed his early triumphs. The device seems a shamelessly transparent bid to lure female viewers, and it’s hardly the only one. Ten minutes into the story, Gary Cole (Custer) and Rosanna Arquette (Elizabeth) writhe through a bedroom scene so leeringly staged it could be a sendup of “Dallas....

All signs now point to New York bringing back Fitzpatrick, the only viable free-agent QB left on the market, albeit a mediocre, short-term solution the team insists on making its “guy.” The Jets asked Ferguson — just about the only pillar of stability the franchise has had in the last decade — to take a pay cut to make room for Fitzpatrick....

Theo, who is the brother of Atletico centre-back Lucas Hernandez, has come on leaps and bounds during his loan spell in the Basque Country and is seen by Madrid as a possible back-up to Marcelo at the Santiago Bernabeu....
But let me share a dirty little secret with you: the real federal deficit isn’t $260 billion. It’s more than double that. And when you calculate what I consider the real deficit–hold on to your hats, it’s $558 billion–you come out with slightly more than last year’s real deficit, which I put at $551 billion. Revenue surge, shmevenue surge. Things are getting worse, not better. To be sure, that $558 billion is better than the $635 billion implied by January’s CBO numbers....
