FOR RICHARD NIXON, THE wedding of his eldest daughter, Tricia, to Edward Cox on June 12, 1971, was a golden PR opportunity. As usual, Nixon had been obsessing about the Kennedys. It infuriated him that Jack Kennedy had always been portrayed as a warm and loving father, frolicking for the cameras with his children.

Chelsea finished a lowly 10th last season in a dismal defence of their Premier League title and are playing no part in European competition this time around. But the lack of continental football appears to be benefiting Chelsea, who are a point ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League after 12 games in their first season under Conte’s stewardship. They will look to extend a run of six successive league wins on Saturday against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge....
Later we learned President Gamal Abdel Nasser had expected an attack. Yet our planes were lined up on the airfields. They were sitting ducks and destroyed in the first two hours. It was our biggest mistake. Without them, we never had an opportunity to fight. My unit was the last to retreat over the Suez Canal, and after I crossed, our engineers blew the bridges. The Sinai was in Israeli hands....
Pepe fractures ribs in derby draw Varane returned from a spell on the sidelines to start against Alaves last weekend, but the France centre-back lasted just 10 minutes before limping off again and now seems set to miss at least a month of action. And on Saturday, Pepe fractured two ribs after earlier scoring a header in the derby draw against Atletico at the Santiago Bernabeu. That means Sergio Ramos and Nacho are now the only two centre-backs available for Zidane in a difficult month of fixtures which continues with a trip to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night....

The skulkers in drafty doorways may thus be joined by affluent investment bankers in bow ties, who can no longer seek refuge in their oak-paneled lounges to enjoy a discreet cigar in a plush leather armchair–because the ban extends to the sanctuary of private clubs as well. An Englishman’s club may be his castle, but the New Yorker’s is now a smoke-free zone. Europeans, especially, make fun of the ban....
Michigan State was happy to be in Indianapolis in some ways, but wasn’t in others. They were, after all, a team with a 23-11 regular-season record that left many wondering how this particular Tom Izzo-led team, of all of his recent teams, managed to sneak its way into the Final Four. By and large, Michigan State had overachieved what it should have been able to accomplish, the way it was built....
After Ida razed the regional power grid, the entirety of New Orleans is without power. While the levees and floodgates mitigated some of the hurricane’s blow in New Orleans, areas outside the city saw extensive flooding and damage. “I can’t tell you when the power is going to be restored.

The news of Muratov’s attack was shown in a series of tweets, posted to Novaya Gazeta’s account. The tweet showed a photo of a train car splattered in what could initially be taken as blood and a photo taken by Muratov himself, covered in a red substance. “They poured oil paint with acetone in the compartment. Eyes burn terribly. Train Moscow-Samara. Oily smell all over the car,” the tweet, which was translated from Russian, quoted Muratov as saying....
But the list of teams interested in impact third basemen is still robust, and trades could happen. Kris Bryant is rumored to be available, though nothing will be done until his service-time dispute with the Cubs is sorted out.
