Out of bounds call, review. Out of bounds call, review. Out of bounds call, review. One of them…
<p>"सेक्स बिकता है!"—ये बात नई नहीं है. सदियों से सत्ता, धर्म, युद्ध और बिज़नेस में इसका इस्तेमाल होता आया है. कभी ब्लैकमेल के लिए, कभी सौदेबाज़ी के लिए, तो कभी इसे मोक्ष या आध्यात्मिकता का नाम देकर बेचा गया. राजा-महाराजाओं से लेकर आज के राष्ट्रपतियों, बिज़नेस टायकून्स और धर्मगुरुओं तक, हर कोई इस खेल में…
Columbia University is now the epicenter of the American culture war. The Trump administration is targeting a former Columbia student — and the university itself — as a test case for its new authoritarian regime.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday rejected holding negotiations with the United States over a nuclear deal, as a letter was delivered from U.S. President Donald Trump calling for such talks.

Bret Stephens: Hola, Gail. ¿Qué opinas sobre la insistencia de Donald Trump en que el inglés sea nuestro idioma oficial? Gail Collins: Hey, Bret, great to be back conversing.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — It may have taken 31 games, but we finally found something that can slow down Cooper Flagg: A healthy whistle. And a deserved one, at that. Because for the first time this season, against rival North Carolina on Saturday, Flagg was called for three first-half personal fouls — the latter two…
While the country holds its breath for the Supreme Court’s responses to the Trump administration’s serial depredations, it’s hard to focus on anything else. Nonetheless, a case set for argument next month before the court merits more attention than the little it has received, given its destabilizing potential for public education. The central question is…
What are the Seattle Seahawks doing? You’ve probably been seeking an answer to that question since learning they agreed to send quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a third-round pick, according to league sources.
