Kaepernick went on to play in 12 regular-season games in 2016, starting in 11 of them. But since then, he has not been on an NFL roster, and the only time his name seems to surface is when there are national anthem protests. Fast forward to 2020, and in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death on May 25 after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on Floyd’s neck, there has been an overwhelming resurgence of protests against police brutality of black Americans....

The 52-year-old Ellison, you see, is only America’s second richest software tycoon ($8 billion or so, not counting supermarket coupons), and his northern California empire, Oracle, takes a back seat to Microsoft in market value. Charming and outrageous, part P. T. Barnum and part Attila the Hun, Ellison has built the most successful high-tech company almost nobody’s heard of. Oracle makes database-management software for corporations - we’d need some geek to actually explain what that is, but it has something to do with handling billing, inventory, banking and insurance for the planet’s commercial infrastructure....

Asked why the 29-year-old had not travelled to the London, Simeone told a pre-match news conference: “Because I am the manager....

Simeone has been linked with roles at Chelsea and Inter in the past year, while the Argentine has also been mooted as a possible replacement for Arsene Wenger - the Arsenal manager who was reported to be the subject of a £30million offer to manage in the Chinese Super League. While the Atletico boss did not reveal the origins of his own money-spinning offer, he said that it arrived as he was contemplating his future in the aftermath of a painful penalty-shootout defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League final last May....

My native Italy has the largest Communist Party in the West, and we are accustomed to powerful unions, labor strife and strikes. All I knew about the American variant was Joan Baez singing “Joe Hill” at Woodstock and Ronald Reagan screwing the air-traffic controllers. Never did I imagine that I, too, would soon be involved. Yet one day a sheet of paper slid under my door announcing a secret meeting in apartment 12C....

Not long after Single’s Inferno’s end, however, Song Ji-ah, who is also known as the beauty influencer Free Zia, was soon embroiled in a controversy....

The LSD scare, like many intelligence tips in that era, turned out to be bogus. But that didn’t stop the CIA from taking steps to develop its own mind-control program, code-named MKUltra.

Unfazed when one of the agency’s own researchers jumped out a window after experimenting with LSD in 1953, the CIA hired prostitutes in Greenwich Village, N....
