The 2016 Republican primary campaign is now on track to be the crudest, most vulgar and most thoroughly disgusting contest in our nation’s history. A policy wonk who has spent nearly two decades in politics was watching Thursday’s GOP debate with his two teenage daughters and was horrified when one turned to him and asked: “Is this what you do?” The dad, who didn’t want to be named because he didn’t want to embarrass his daughters, said their acquaintances had higher standards than the debaters...

Rivalry games are nothing new to Jeff Samardzija, a former Notre Dame wide receiver who on Sunday recalled some big games against USC and Michigan. In his first Giants appearance against the Dodgers, Samardzija struck out his first three batters. When you get two passionate fan bases and they’re yelling at each other more than the players are, that’s a good time. Samardzija flashed a fastball in the mid-90s and a vicious slider that fooled Yasiel Puig and Chase Utley to end the first and third innings, respectively. Читать дальше...

Team captain Chris Wondolowski, the team’s all-time scoring leader and one of the few in MLS history to hit the century mark in goals, tallied the 110th of his career just seconds into the second half of a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids at Avaya Stadium. Some sharp saves by keeper David Bingham and vital defensive plays from several teammates held off the Rapids... Читать дальше...

In 1992, I was the only reporter at the Reagan's Rancho del Cielo in Santa Barbara County when former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife, Raisa, stopped for a visit. Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON — Republican leaders grappled Sunday with the prospect that the best hope for stopping Donald Trump’s march to the nomination may be Ted Cruz — the only candidate who causes as much heartburn among party elites as the billionaire businessman, if not more. The Texas senator split contests with Trump in Saturday’s voting, bolstering his argument that only he can defeat the real estate mogul. The wary interest in Cruz from more mainstream Republicans is the latest unexpected twist in a... Читать дальше...

Here's how U.S. and world political leaders are reacting to the death of former U.S. first lady Nancy Reagan: [...] we had a head start, because we were fortunate to benefit from her proud example, and her warm and generous advice. Later, in her long goodbye with President Reagan, she became a voice on behalf of millions of families going through the depleting, aching reality of Alzheimer's, and took on a new role, as advocate, on behalf of treatments that hold the potential and the promise to improve and save lives....
