Shamir and Arafat converged on the same answer to their different quandaries: East Jerusalem. Shamir maintains that a conference including Palestinian representatives from East Jerusalem would violate Israel’s claim to all of the city. He was thinking of objecting to the conference on that ground when, NEWSWEEK has learned, Israeli intelligence intercepts of Arab telephone and fax transmissions came in: Arafat had ordered West Bank and Gaza Strip Palestinian leaders to insist on the right of East Jerusalemites to be at the conference....

While a number of players haven’t performed up to their expected levels, several others have drastically improved. In this article, we are focusing on defensive players who have unexpectedly improved their game. On that note, here is a look at a defensive backline made up of the most-improved players this season: #5 Ederson (Goalkeeper) I remember the time when people were calling for Joe Hart’s return to Manchester City during the peak of Claudio Bravo’s personal mission to never ever make a save again....

The Navy announced Friday that a sailor aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd “tested positive for COVID-19 after being medically evacuated to the United States from operations at sea, April 23.” The senior Pentagon official told Newsweek that this service member was “evacuated from the ship through the assistance of coordination with a partner nation in Central America.” A Navy official confirmed the foreign assistance to Newsweek and placed the official count of confirmed COVID-19 cases on the USS Kidd at 18....

Patients with sickle cell disease have a mutation in their beta-hemoglobin gene, which leads to the production of red blood cells that rupture and form a sickle shape, causing them to have trouble passing through small blood vessels in the body. This in turn blocks the flow of blood and can lead to severe pain and serious complications. Currently, the only cure involves a stem cell transplant from a donor, but in this new clinical trial, CRISPR gene editing will replace the mutated genes with healthy versions using the patient’s own stem cells....

So what if Los Angeles was only a two-hour drive up the coast? San Diegans had a decidedly un-Hollywood way of viewing the world and themselves. Locals took great pride in the surf culture, and the already strong sense of community was deepened by the fact that enemies-Los Angeles, all the kooks who didn’t surf, the NFL’s Raiders, workaholics, the Arizona tourist ‘Zonies who took over Mission Beach-were clearly identified....

Washington owner Dan Snyder made it official on July 13, as the team is looking to move on from the offensive, racist and derogatory team name amid financial pressure from sponsors and, equally as important, pressure from Native Americans who wanted the team to abandon the name. Mission accomplished, but there could be some time before the Washington NFL franchise settles and unveils a new name. There are some signals that could point to the new moniker, as betting odds, Dwayne Haskins and a mystery man all potentially point to a favorite for a new name: the Redwolves....

Priestess — Yukiko Amagi Yukiko Amagi joins the Investigation Team after being rescued from her castle in the Midnight Channel. When the group plans a stake-out to keep an eye on Kanji Tatsumi on May 17, the protagonist begins a social link with her. The player can find her in Classroom Building 1F of Yasogami High School or the southern section of the Shopping District. While growing Yukiko’s social link rank, the protagonist helps her try to grow her skills and discover a career path outside of the family inn....

I don’t know why I didn’t act sooner. After all, I’m a doctor, and I have always told my patients to take their health seriously. But I guess I’m human first. You see, I had missed just one day of work in 24 years of dentistry and, like my dentist-father before me, I never thought there could be anything wrong with me. Somewhere inside I must have thought I could be immune from the very disease I try to help patients prevent....

Matos took the stand at his “spectacular” trial to defend himself, claiming that “paranoia” and self-defense were what caused the savage quadruple homicide. He also claimed that the violence began when he was attacked by Megan’s new lover, Nicholas Leonard - an allegation the jury refused to believe, convicting him of the murders. This article will further delve into the trial and conviction of Adam Matos for A&E’s season 2 episode 2 of Taking the Stand....

The outbreak appears to have originated when untreated well water was used for drinking and making snow cones and lemonade. Health officials suspect that an infectious strain of E. coli, often found in cow manure, washed into the ground water from a nearby barn. (Other outbreaks have been traced to ground beef, tainted in slaughterhouses.) By late last week the outbreak had peaked and State Health Commissioner Antonia Novello promised new water regulations at future fairs....

First some history: a decade ago Sen. Bob Kerrey made health care the centerpiece of his 1992 presidential campaign. Gov. Bill Clinton offered only a vague alternative, but after the election he and Hillary took a big swing at the problem. They whiffed. “Hillarycare” was a Rube Goldberg contraption that didn’t socialize medicine but certainly would have bureaucratized it further. The defeat of Clinton’s plan in 1994 led the Democrats to lose control of Congress and retreat to a so-called incremental approach....

Ah, but did they? Sure, The Sun screamed world exclusive on its front page last Friday. So how come its great rival, The Mirror, that same day had a scoop of the year banner on its front page (a claim that, within hours, had been turned into scoop of the millennium on the Mirrror’s Web site)? Because it really was the Mirror’s story. The 11 pages it had ready for Friday proved that, to say nothing of the bouquet of flowers that it delivered, on behalf of its readers, to 10 Downing Street....

To ease overcrowding inside the morgue, canopies have been set up in the parking lot beside the entrance. Beneath them, scores of exhausted workers, clad in blue paper aprons, face masks and paper bonnets unload body bags from the trucks, placing them on stretchers for inspection. But trucks from the site have arrived at a slow trickle throughout the week. Finding bodies in the mountains of tangled rubble has proved difficult....

Leadership is not necessarily innate; it can be learned. No one ever tried harder to master the art of command by sheer dint of study than the garrulous speaker of the House. His speeches are a stream of historical clichs. He has compared his legislative strategy to Grant’s Wilderness campaign, the Napoleonic wars and the design of Ford’s Mustang (““pure intuition’’). He has likened himself to archetypes as varied as Vince Lombardi, the Duke of Wellington, Thomas A....

From smaller mobile titles to big budget blockbusters, a number of noteworthy video games have taken center stage at past Superbowl showings in hopes to generate big hype for the eventual release. This ranges from mobile games like Clash of Clans, hilarious ads like the PS9, and even action games with big names like Jet Li: Rise to Honor. Securing ad space during the Superbowl does not come cheap, so it is imperative to make every second count, and thankfully these gaming companies understood that with unforgettable trailers on many occassions....

According to Wojnarowski, the Celtics have “emerged among teams engaged in talks” with the Nets in a deal to acquire superstar forward Kevin Durant. Durant requested a trade earlier this summer, but Brooklyn’s astronomical asking price for the former MVP has deterred any franchise from trading for him. The Athletic’s Shams Charania provided a more in-depth look at the Celtics’ trade package, reporting that Boston offered All-Star guard Jaylen Brown, Derrick White and a draft pick to the Nets for Durant....
