The better news: Cleveland’s best player says the worst is truly behind this downtrodden franchise following Saturday’s 20-17 home win over San Diego. “First of all, we’ve got Hue Jackson,” Browns left tackle Joe Thomas told Sporting News in a postgame telephone interview. “He’s an outstanding head coach who has proven that he can win and develop quarterbacks and offenses in a number of different places. That’s a big reason for optimism....

The personal piece has been elusive for him. As good as his campaign is, it has not been easy for Illinois’s junior senator to dig a little deeper into his psyche and share himself with voters. Maybe he figures he’s already done that with the coming-of-age memoir he published at age 33. But if he’s to survive the assault on his character from Reverend Wright and assorted others—including, of course, Hillary Clinton—he needs to be more forthcoming....
The researchers have also said that current projections used by governments and other scientists are too short-sighted, and urged policy-makers to consider the effects of global warming further into the future than the current benchmark of 2100. “We need to envision the Earth our children and grandchildren may face, and what we can do now to make it just and liveable for them,” McGill University postdoctoral researcher Christopher Lyon said....
Clinton also carried with him seven draft chapters of his mother’s autobiography. At Thanksgiving, when Mrs. Kelley knew she had just months to live, she told friends, “I want Bill to finish it.” The president, who has become its editor, worked on the book during spare moments last week. After declining to play the sax at a stop in Brussels, Clinton, true to his mother’s spirit, rallied in Prague. During a pub crawl with Czech Republic President Vaclav Havel, he tootled two numbers on a borrowed sax while Havel banged a spoon on the table....
NEWSWEEK: You came of age in Arkansas when Central High was being forcibly integrated by federal troops. What do you remember about that time? CLINTON: I was 11, and I remember it very well. I talked honestly to my folks about it and to my grandparents. We were riveted-we watched the television news every night and waited for the next day’s paper. My grandparents were both very much in favor of integration and thought that blacks in the South had gotten a raw deal....
News that 76-year-old Giuliani was taking part in the popular Fox singing show broke out in February. But when the former mayor of New York and attorney to Donald Trump was unmasked in the episode of The Masked Singer aired on Wednesday night—and revealed to be the ‘Jack in the Box’—judges on the show, as well as the public in studio, looked stunned. Giuliani appeared smiling out of a bizarre-looking costume of a rainbow-feathered bird with a crested chicken head (which The Daily Beast’s journalist Marlow Stern aptly described as “the face of the Jigsaw puppet”)....

Forward Glen Davis was fined $5,000 by the NBA on Saturday for flopping in the first quarter of the game against Houston.

Officials ruled Morris made excessive contact above the shoulders and did not make a play on the ball when he swung his arm and hit Doncic about the head. Doncic tried to charge at Morris after being sent to the floor but was restrained by center Boban Marjanovic. LA coach Doc Rivers told ESPN he thought Morris’ play was clean. The first-quarter foul added to the bad blood between the teams in this first-round NBA playoff series, again with Doncic in the middle....
Following an offseason that included an intense fight to sign Kawhi Leonard — one that ruffled a few feathers within the Lakers organization after Leonard took his time and ultimately picked the Clippers — the LA teams continued their off-court battle by chasing similar trade and buyout targets. Both organizations know their rosters are far from perfect, and that’s what made the past two weeks so important. MORE: Biggest winners and losers from NBA All-Star weekend...
The Clippers are looking less like the Hollywood thriller they were billed to be during the offseason and more like a Greek theater tragedy.

A big pile of grant money and a swank lab come in handy when you want to make major medical breakthroughs. But the 40 researchers at Seoul National University’s College of Veterinary Medicine have shown that grit and determination–and the absence of government interference–can be just as important. Two weeks ago, Hwang Woo Suk and Moon Shin Young, who direct the work at the cloning lab in Building 85, published a paper in the prestigious journal Science that shocked biomedical researchers and put South Korea at the center of one of the hottest and most controversial research fields: stem-cell therapy....

Insurers typically follow coverage decisions made by CMS. How Does Aduhelm Work? Aduhelm is a monoclonal antibody administered as a monthly infusion....
Journalist Soledad O’Brien called CNN’s decision to have Lewandowski on their New Day program “shameful.” Lewandowski was brought on to discuss his contentious hearing with the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, which was the first big hearing in the House Democrats’ impeachment investigation.
