As Monday rolled around, however, Miami was still waiting for Allen to come out on the other side of his slump.

Miami is putting the full-court press on Hayward, going as far as photoshopping him in a Heat jersey in decorative banners outside American Airlines Arena.

It was customary to invite people from Washington, and I invited President Ford, then a congressman, to come and talk about the appropriations process. We stayed in loose touch afterward.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, the 99-year-old Kissinger said: “Before this war, I was opposed to membership of Ukraine in NATO because I feared that it would start exactly the process that we have seen now. “The idea of a neutral Ukraine under these conditions is no longer meaningful.” Kissinger, who was instrumental to U.S. Cold War policy toward the Soviet Union when he served under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, has long said Ukraine should remain neutral and not join NATO....

Hepatitis A Transmission Hepatitis A primarily spreads when you come in contact with the stool of a person who has the virus, and it enters your body through your digestive system—often through contaminated food or water. This is known as the fecal-oral route of transmission. This infection is very contagious, which means it spreads easily.

Almost immediately, the American Cancer Society responded by reiterating their position that all women should begin getting annual mammograms in their 40s....

The hope was always that the three of them would eventually figure stuff out enough to record more, and that Phife would be healthy enough to be a part of it. The closest anyone got was the 2011 documentary “Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest,” some festival dates and a Jimmy Fallon appearance. Now, Phife, or Malik Taylor, is gone at 45. He was diagnosed with diabetes before the release of Tribe’s second album, and it followed him for the rest of his life....
