The Spaniard has emerged as a key figure at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho. Keane cringes at Man Utd ambition Now showing an added maturity and extra bite to his game, the 27-year-old is considered to be one of the finest holding midfielders in the Premier League. He is also experienced enough to be viewed as an on-field leader, but Herrera is reluctant to speculate on a possible inheriting of the armband with others still ahead of him in the pecking order....
The withdrawal of troops gave rise to the Taliban, which rapidly took control of the country. The chaotic situation that unfolded prompted bipartisan criticism of President Joe Biden at home and from adversaries abroad, including China and Hezbollah, who have capitalized on the fallout to sow skepticism of America’s support of other nations and territories. In a Tuesday night speech, Hassan Nasrallah, secretary-general of Hezbollah, said the Israelis are “watching most closely and drawing conclusions” from the aftermath in Afghanistan....
So, while I lived in Florida, I never gave Carl Hiaasen a second thought. I respected him, as a novelist and as a newspaper columnist for the Miami Herald. I wished him well in his quixotic effort to use humor to bring his fellow citizens to their senses. Hiaasen is a Florida native who loves his state despite everything that’s happened to it in his lifetime, and the coolest thing about him is that he almost never loses his temper....

“How to Be Good” is British author Nick Hornby’s third novel and, like his best work, “High Fidelity,” it’s stuffed with the kind of relationship nuance that can make him such a zip to read. But “How to Be Good” is a joyless book, and it’s the protagonists who drag it down. Katie is just a rewrite of Hornby’s charmingly adrift men–she’s the earner, she has the affair, she moves out–only without the charm....

When Comet 46P/Wirtanen shot by our planet two-and-a-half years ago, scientists had just completed a major upgrade to a telescope at the Keck Observatory on Maunakea in Hawaii. This allowed them to gather data on the comet using a process called spectroscopy, which can reveal important properties of any body which emits or absorbs light. The data revealed that 46P/Wirtanen “has one of the highest alcohol-to-aldehyde ratios measured in any comet to date,” Neil Dello Russo, co-author of a study into the comet’s composition and a cometary scientist at Johns Hopkins University, told the Keck Observatory....

The Frenchman moved to the Blues from Arsenal in January but has found the net only once for his new team – a tally that he is acutely aware needs improving. Giroud, though, is not panicking about his lack of production just yet. “I’m happy with how I’ve adapted, the welcome I got and my relationship with my team-mates,” he told L’Equipe. “But I should have had more goals. I’m very attached to statistics and I remain stuck at one goal and three assists in five starts....

At a glance, it seems easy to dismiss Generation X as apathetic: in 1972 half of all 18- to 24-year-olds voted; in 1996 only one third did. For all our creativity and enterprise, too many of us look at the ballot box and say, “Whatever.” But Generation X does care deeply about our country. We volunteer and join local organizations in greater numbers than the famously idealistic boomers did in their youth....
