During that tenure, from 2003-10, James and the Cavs had one of the league’s best teams, yet went to the Finals only one time, reaching the Eastern Conference finals one other time.

We must warn you, it is graphic. Dahl was clearly in pain after making the play and very emotional. It’s understandable considering his history. The 25-year-old has never played a full season in MLB despite making his debut in 2016....

IF INTIMIDATION WERE AN Olympic event, Aleksandr Karelin would own it. The Russian behemoth stands 6 feet 3, weighs nearly 300 pounds and wrings out men his own size like damp washcloths. Karelin is the long-reigning king of heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestling. He hadn’t lost a match in 10 years when he confronted American Matt Ghaffari in Atlanta last week. And he had pummeled Ghaffari in 20 previous encounters. To no one’s surprise, Karelin beat the poor man again Tuesday night, 1-0 in overtime, to secure a third consecutive Olympic gold medal....

Take for example finding daycare programs or babysitters that can communicate with the deaf parent and the hearing child.

The next election will turn on big differences about two questions. What should be America’s role in the world? And how should the Constitution be construed? Last week another of the Senate Democrats’ filibusters against the most important of President Bush’s appellate-court nominees succeeded when Miguel Estrada withdrew from consideration. Republicans will be eager to trumpet the Democrats’ seven successes in blocking, as they probably will have done by next November, confirmation of: a Roman Catholic and Hispanic immigrant (Estrada), an African-American woman (Justice Janice Rogers Brown of the California Supreme Court), a Southern woman (Priscilla Owen of the Texas Supreme Court), a Catholic woman (Carolyn Kuhl of California’s Superior Court) and three white Southerners (Attorney General William Pryor of Alabama; Charles Pickering, a Mississippi judge, and Terrence Boyle, a North Carolina judge)....
