Brant’s day in hell began almost as soon as he buckled Travis into the family van. What would usually have been a five-minute drive took nearly an hour, thanks to the crush of traffic. The parking lot at the mall was full, so Brant ditched his car in a field half a mile away and hiked back.

And yet Kissinger was moved by Nixon’s misery. Though neither man was a hugger, Kissinger put an arm around the president’s shoulder. The awkward embrace is an oddly touching scene in Robert Dallek’s at once damning and partly forgiving pointillist portrait, “Nixon and Kissinger.” The men aimed to be the most powerful foreign-policy duo since Harry Truman and his secretary of State, Dean Acheson; Nixon and Kissinger’s global achievements nearly matched their ambitions....

Cubs fans fell in love with the rookie slugger last year, when he hit 16 home runs in 69 games during the regular season.

“It’s tough, it’s tough — no matter if you grow up in it or don’t grow up in it,” Dempsey said of the Texan conditions, which are more about stifling humidity than actual heat. “You’ve got to get acclimated.
