Square Books owner Richard Howorth cheerfully gives his chief competitor, Waldenbooks, most of the credit for what Ross likes about his store. He opened a shop in Oxford simply because William Faulkner’s hometown didn’t have one (when Faulkner lived there his books were sold at the drugstore). Howorth did great business for four years, until Walden came to town in 1983. That year Howorth saw his growth curve go flat....

There never was any guarantee, however, that he would be this Tom Brady. IYER: Why there will never be a “Next Tom Brady” This Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl championships, a face that’s instantly recognizable from coast to coast and more individual honors than it seems necessary to recount. We all know it’s a lot. There could’ve been fewer, though. Probably not a lot fewer, but fewer. And there also could have been more, as hard as that is to conceive....

Instead, what we will see is a break more commonly referred to as a greenstick fracture. Causes and Features of a Greenstick Fracture The term “greenstick fracture” is used because it evokes a young, green branch that bends, and even splinters, but doesn’t fully break. As such, it is classified as an incomplete break, since only one side of the bone is broken while the other side is merely bent....

And Fox News has the Nielsen data to back up its assertion. For the first time in a full week (August 16-22), the show dubbed Gutfeld! scored a larger audience than Jimmy Fallon on NBC, Jimmy Kimmel on ABC and Stephen Colbert on CBS. It’s not an exact apples-to-apples comparison, as Gutfeld! airs at 11 p.m. Eastern while the others begin at 11:30 p.m. or 11:35 p.m. On the West Coast, Gutfeld has the advantage of airing at 8 p....

Despite the Spurs beating the Mavericks by a final of 96-91 on Monday night, Popovich wasn’t happy with his team’s, well, anything. Considering the circumstances, it’s not hard to see why. MORE: Where will the Spurs finish in the West? This will go down as a win in the standings for San Antonio, but the Mavs kept it close to the very end with several key players, including starters Dirk Nowitzki (right Achilles strain) and Deron Williams (left calf strain), out with injuries....

SPORTING NEWS: How would you describe your fighting style? GREGORY CORBIN: Whatever it takes to win, that’s the only way I can describe it. Some people love it, some people dislike it, but, hey, as long as we get the “W,” that’s all that matters. I’m an adaptive fighter meaning that If I see something and I can make changes during the fight, that’s what I do. That being said, I’m just open to whatever comes....

Polanco hit .256 with a .701 OPS in 153 games for the Pirates in 2015, after hitting .235 with a .650 OPS in his 89-game big-league apprenticeship of 2014. He had 35 doubles and 27 stolen bases in that first full season, and those are both very nice numbers. The on-base percentage (.320) stayed too low, though, and there was hope for more than the nine home runs he hit, with a swing like Polanco’s and the power he clearly has in his 6-5 frame....

The scene reveals just one of many dramatic behavioral changes for the Yellowstone-area grizzlies. Only a generation ago, they were scooping half-eaten hot dogs and stale Twinkies from garbage piles in the park. But now Steven and Marilynn French, two self-trained bear researchers, have chronicled what they call “an important step back” for the Yellowstone grizzly -back to ancestral habits that experts thought had been lost forever. The work has opened a new window onto animal behavior and its evolution....

It doesn’t matter who is in between him and the rim, if Morant gets his sights set on the hoop, he’s going to attempt to jump through, or over, anyone standing in his way. The 22-year-old has been a walking highlight reel all season and he added to his collection of internet-breaking moments with the poster dunk of the playoffs so far in Game 5 against the Timberwolves. Morant had struggled to this point in the game but in an effort to wake himself up, the All-Star guard detonated on Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley to end the third quarter....

Her friends, Joe and Kim Cole, woke up with Lokan frantically saying: “Bear, bear!” The Coles suggested that Lokan stay in a hotel that night, however she declined....
