During No. 43’s campaign, Barbara Bush wouldn’t even watch her son’s first debate because it made her too nervous. When Laura Bush would get hot reading critical articles about her husband, George W. Bush would call out: “Bushie! You’re violating the news blackout!” In truth though, the biggest violator of the news blackout in the family is 41 himself....

During European football’s coronavirus shutdown, Havertz was frequently the topic of transfer gossip columns and did nothing to dissuade an apparently growing band of admirers among the continent’s elite. Leading the Leverkusen attack at Weser-Stadion, the 20-year-old brilliantly headed home at the back post in the 28th minute following excellent work down the right from Moussa Diaby.

By stumps the West Indies top-order had built on that dominant bowling effort in reaching 201 for two, a lead already of 158 runs with eight wickets in hand. Opening batsman Kraigg Brathwaite played his usual sheet-anchor role to perfection in compiling an unbeaten 88 from almost five hours at the crease.
