But since the communist regime collapsed, some 50 families of the old nobility have gone back, drawn to their ancient roots. With them, they’ve brought much-needed Western initiative to a backward and struggling region....

The travelers left home on schedule, with Edith waving a handkerchief as their carriage descended the hill. Theodore waved back with his hat. Eleven-year-old Quentin, their youngest child, accompanied his father and brother to the Oyster Bay train station, where the travelers did combat with tearfulness.

Book reviewers, if they’re being paid and if they’re being the least bit fair, finish the books they review. But this creates a strange, maybe unnatural, situation: the very people paid to be objective about a book are also duty bound to finish it, and believe it or not, this warps a lot of peoples’ judgment. Let’s say you read a 900-page novel and you don’t absolutely hate it. You even sort of like it....

For my sister and me, the essence of our parents, their personalities—the very core of who they were—are gone. Or almost so. As she has retreated within her confused and disordered mind, my mother has come to live almost exclusively in the present....

Moira, one of the Overwatch characters added since the game’s initial release, has been in the spotlight for changes for quite a while.

This was met with outcry from fans, who said that this was too powerful and damaged the balance of the game....
The case has embarrassed Roman Catholic authorities and focused attention on alleged crimes by members of the clergy in the Rwanda bloodbath.

Bloodborne is fueled by speculation and rumor. Even five years after its release, there isn’t a concrete answer to what everything in the game actually means.

Bloomberg, like other billionaires, has been vocal in recent months about exactly how little he likes the proposals from Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders to tax extreme wealth. He, like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, is apparently gravely concerned that the Democratic Party is moving too far left, and doesn’t think demonizing the rich is going to get us anywhere. Which is why Bloomberg decided to go to a megachurch in Brooklyn and tell the mostly black audience he had changed his mind: The most controversial policy of his mayoral tenure, stop-and-frisk, had been a mistake after all....
