Young voters played an exceptionally large role in the 2020 elections. An analysis by Tufts University found that participation among those ages 18-29 may have jumped 10 percentage points or more from 2016. “They made the difference in key battleground states, and the participation and overwhelming support for President-elect Joe Biden from youth of color was one of the defining elements of the election,” the university wrote. This age group includes members of Gen Z and some on the young side of the millennial generation....

Starr’s passion was understandable. He is on the eve of the most important event in his investigation so far: the six- to eight-week trial of the Clintons’ old friends, a drama that will be a running narrative of Arkan-sas shenanigans. For the Clintons, the bad Whitewater news keeps coming. Last week the president was subpoenaed to testify in the McDougal case. And the mystery of Mrs. Clinton’s long-sought billing records on Madison – now a crucial element in Starr’s inquiry – deepened when her former law partner, Webster Hubbell, told Congress that he last saw the records in the hands of Vince Foster, the White House deputy counsel who killed himself in July 1993....

The five-member Norwegian panel instead announced on Friday that Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had won the award, “for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and for in particular his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighboring Eritrea,” a statement said. Thunberg has become the figurehead of the youth climate movement after skipping school to protest outside the Swedish Parliament in August 2018, inspiring the waves of student strikes that followed....

So far, the only person who claims to know the facts is Spence, who works for a state-funded AIDS program covering nine counties in northeast Texas. She says that the students were tested individually at their own request, and subsequently contacted her for counseling. No one else-not even their parents-has been told who they are. But in December, Spence alerted the Johntown school board that six of 197 students were infected at Rivercrest High....

Kaczynski’s lawyers tried to get all the evidence found in his cabin thrown out on the ground that agents had searched it illegally. But the judge refused. Early on, says a source close to the defense, the lawyers had ruled out an insanity defense–that Kaczynski was incapable of understanding his actions. As the evidence mounted–his writings were lucid, his plans methodical–it became clear to his lawyers that no jury would believe he was out of his mind....

Working off tips from associates of the men–combined with surveillance videos from Wal-Mart, where the two allegedly set fires–police narrowed in on the suspects early last week. For four days, law enforcement kept Dieteman, 30, and Hausner, 33, under round-the-clock surveillance at the Mesa, Ariz., apartment complex where they are roommates while other investigative teams gathered further evidence. By late Thursday, investigators had enough on the men to move in, but there was a hitch: Hausner’s 2-year-old daughter was visiting her dad, who shares custody with his soon-to-be ex-wife....

Joel is one of the most beloved characters in the franchise. Due to how much fans loved Joel in The Last of Us, many of them were incredibly disappointed when he died in the beginning of The Last of Us Part 2. Since the only way Joel could appear in a potential third game is through flashbacks, a prequel game leading up to the original The Last of Us would be a wonderful treat, especially because there has been so much left unexplored with his character....

Hobley was not the only one to be spared from lethal injection. Gov. George Ryan pardoned three other condemned men and then, a day later, dramatically cleared death row in Illinois–commuting the death sentences of 167 inmates to life without parole. It was a stunning move by the departing governor, hailed by foes of capital punishment as courageous, but condemned as unjust by many victims’ families and outraged prosecutors....

Your Leo guy will have no problem hugging in public, picking you up and spinning you around, or making out. He wants people to see that he loves being with you. For instance, he may say, “You are the smartest person I know. I’m so impressed that you completed that class,” or, “Has anyone told you how generous you are? You made your friend’s day when you told them you’d help with their project....

An Important Book that you admit you haven’t read: I have never been able to finish any book by Don DeLillo. A classic that, on rereading, disappointed: The Bible, by God. Starts great; gets bogged down with religious stuff. Terrific ending, though.

The virtue of this proposal (scheduled for Senate debate this week) is its modesty. There’s nothing wrong with constructive tinkering. We’ve had enough of grand reforms, which promise much and deliver little. They will never create our ideal health-care system: one that provides all the care people want without huge costs or intrusive controls, from either government or business. That system is impossible; too many of its goals collide....

New entries in F1 Formula One is one of the most awaited sports in European and American countries when compared to India. It has gained a lot of fame in our country after the inaugural Indian Grand Prix in 2011. The more the number of races in a season, the more the fans gets amused. In the past, there were never more than 16 or 17 races in a year and from 2010 we had 19 races, for two years....

Having said it must be mentioned that the two seniors must be wondering if the journey ahead would be kind to them. Keen observers of the sport still believe that the days of the two remaining at helm are not over yet, based on the way things panned out in Thiruvananthapuram. But, it must be said both Harinder Pal Sandhu and Harshit Kaur, two respective runners up made deep impressions on the two winners....

John McCain is the reason I joined the Marine Corps after surviving the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11. When the first plane hit the North Tower I was working as an investment adviser for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower. I ran down 61 flights of stairs. I was halfway down when the second plane hit—and then I ran west, dodging burning debris and body parts, toward the Hudson River....

In 1990 the emblems of rebellion that once set teenagers apart have grown frayed. Their music now seems more derivative than subversive. The provocative teenage styles of dress that adults assiduously copied no longer automatically inspire emulation. And underneath the plumage, teens seem to be more interested in getting ahead in the world than in clearing up its injustices. According to a 1989 survey of high-school seniors in 40 Wisconsin communities, global concerns, including hunger, poverty and pollution, emerged last on a list of teenage worries....

It’s a blending of cultures that Marvel Comics sees as natural–and profitable. “India is very rich in graphical mythology, and that plays well to the superhero ethos,” says Marvel Comics president Gui Karyo. At the same time, India–with a population of 1 billion–has a rapidly growing middle class and a burgeoning interest in Western culture. In 2002, 32-year-old Sharad Devarajan launched Bangalore-based Gotham Entertainment to publish Marvel, DC, Dark Horse and Warner Brothers comic books on the Indian Subcontinent....

But something strange happened when the dreaded moment of truth finally arrived. In one stroke last week, President George W. Bush called an end to a 30-year era of arms-control treaties. Bush made good on a campaign promise and announced that the United States would withdraw from the antiballistic-missile treaty in six months–in order to test missile defense systems that are now prohibited. It was the first time any country had unilaterally abrogated an arms agreement since World War II....

No matter how the trial goes, Stewart has already paid a steep price. Shares in her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, have fallen 50 percent since her legal troubles began. While the stock trade that landed her in trouble saved her $45,000, her net worth is down at least $300 million. And though the U.S. attorney decided not to charge her with insider trading–she’ll be tried for the alleged cover-up–last week the Securities and Exchange Commission piled on, filing a civil suit alleging insider trading and securities fraud....
