NEW YORK (AP) — Some skeptics of #MeToo activism are hoping Brett Kavanaugh's angry, tearful denial of sexual assault allegations might help fuel a backlash against the year-old movement. But advocates for victimized women say it's now too powerful to be derailed. The mixed reactions followed Thursday's vehement assertion by Kavanaugh and his Republican allies that he was the victim of a "political hit job" by Democrats. They suggested that Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was being exploited for partisan purposes.

NEW ORLEANS — It’s not the detailed craftsmanship or the age of the small, brass, black-enameled binoculars that might fetch a French Quarter antique gallery’s asking price of $795,000. It’s the history: Abraham Lincoln is believed to have used them to get a better view of the stage at Ford’s Theatre on the night he was assassinated. M.S. Rau Antiques recently acquired the binoculars, known as opera glasses, from a seller who has remained anonymous. Previous owners have included the Forbes family of publishing fame ...

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota man was acquitted Friday of helping to kill a pregnant neighbor by tightening a rope around the woman's neck after his girlfriend cut the baby from her womb.

How can a reliever win a Cy Young Award? For that matter, how can a designated hitter win an MVP award? The answer is similar for both questions: When a reliever’s or DH’s season has been historically good and when the respective field is merely so-so. This year, we’ve been treated to fabulous seasons by A’s closer Blake Treinen and Red Sox DH J.D. Martinez, both of whom are in the conversation for the American League’s top individual awards. Treinen was the main reason the A’s won their first 68... Читать дальше...
