In those years, in those Spartan rooms, Albert Gore Jr. indulged his twin obsessions: saving the planet and raising cash. It was where he wrote his environmental credo, ““Earth in the Balance.’’ It was also a legal safe house from which he made fund-raising calls. By law and custom, Gore knew, you didn’t dial for dollars from your Senate office. Eager to repay a debt from his 1988 presidential campaign, and to raise money for his 1990 Senate race, Gore instead ““spent a lot of time over in the Methodist Building,’’ recalls a former top aide....

A new coronavirus vaccine may be vital to fully reopening businesses, resuming large gatherings and saving lives, so the Trump administration is taking a proactive approach. They’ve entered agreements with several companies to manufacture hundreds of millions of doses of potential vaccines in the hopes they’ll be viable, and President Donald Trump mobilized the military to ensure it could be rapidly administered. While the government is working to reach its goal of having 300 million doses by the end of the year, Fauci would be “pretty surprised” if there was a vaccine mandate for the general public....

OCEARCH is a a data-centric marine research company that has been tracking the shark, dubbed Katherine, and other great whites in the northwest Atlantic.

On the one hand, the time that has been predicted for the last couple of years — when they would swarm the league, break the drought at their position and re-make what had become a passers-first sport — had arrived. On the other hand, the contracts for Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Jamaal Charles and even Eddie Lacy are a dose of sobering reality.

The polarizing defensive end played in Carolina for five seasons before the Panthers dropped him after he missed the majority of the 2014 season because of domestic violence charges.
