Neymar scored the opening goal and assisted the next three, and Lionel Messi closed out the scoring with the final two goals as the PSG stars showed they are already on their game under new manager Christophe Galtier. What probably has their foes shuddering is that they’ve done it without superstar Kylian Mbappe.

Former Yonkers mayor John Spencer has no chance of unseating the New York senator, but for Democrats, Osama is the wild card.

Americans who dismiss Paula Jones as a tawdry sideshow may be in for a surprise....
