Dad was part of the 192d Tank Battalion from Janesville, Wis., a unit sent to Clark Field in the Philippines prior to the outbreak of war in the Pacific. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, they struck Clark Field almost simultaneously, destroying most of the American P-40s and B-17s on the runway.

In order to whittle his roster, he had to decide which of three players to cut. Two of them were defensive backs and the third was a fullback. “It’s a no-brainer,” an assistant coach advised. “We cut the fullback. He ain’t that great and he’s a homosexual … he has to be the one.” The head coach demurred. “Wrong. He can play decently. So can the others. We cut either of the others, they’ll catch on somewhere....

City rally to beat Arsenal Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling have had their ups and downs in their short City careers to date but they are the heroes for City as they produced a much-needed victory against Arsenal. The old guard - David Silva and Yaya Toure - certainly played their part, and Kevin De Bruyne, another of Guardiola’s long-term bets, was again prominent. But it was Sane and Sterling who provided the second-half goals as City roared back to secure a victory which has been a long-time coming....

The drill is becoming increasingly familiar to infectious-disease experts. With each outbreak they learn more about Ebola–some veteran health workers have fought it a half-dozen times. But once again the source of a potentially cataclysmic eruption is eluding them. The Gulu epidemic has already infected at least 139 people and claimed 51 lives. Health officials are watching about 200 others who are thought to have encountered carriers. (Ebola is spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person....

Fatou Bensouda was slapped with sanctions by the Trump administration for her investigation into the U.S. and its allies for alleged war crimes. In March 2019, she was placed under a travel ban and 18 months later, a freeze on her U.S.-based assets. “I do believe that it was wrong. Really, a red line has been crossed,” Bensouda said of the sanctions. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below:...

The volunteers are part of the SafeWalks initiative, which launched in January after at least five women were violently assaulted at Brooklyn’s Morgan Avenue Subway Station. More recently, volunteers have offered their services in Manhattan’s Chinatown neighborhood in an attempt to counter an increasing number of high-profile attacks on Asian Americans that have often focused on the elderly. Volunteers wearing easily identifiable safety vests, some of whom speak languages like Mandarin or Cantonese, have recently been patrolling the neighborhood in 2-hour shifts, passing out flyers and offering their services to anyone who asks for help, according to WPIX....

The percentage of the population consisting of ummarried men over 40 has fluctuated between 3 and 6 percent over the years. No one knows why. Sociologists rarely study us, psychologists don’t quiz us and politicians don’t count us. For all we know, the fluctuation could be due to the length of the fur on autumn caterpillars. Or vice versa. We do know our numbers are increasing this decade and, according to forecasts, will continue to rise in the future....

The team led by researchers at Durham University in the U.K. used high-resolution satellite imagery to identify more than 65,000 supraglacial lakes (bodies of water that sit on the surface of a glacier) across around two million square miles—including regions of the ice sheet where melting was thought to be less severe. But even this is a minimum, the study author’s say. Smaller lakes may have been missed off the count, while others that were included in the figure may pick up more meltwater—and grow in size—during warmer months....

Not when you have the special qualities of that trio. A look at what keeps them so effective when they’re so old, and why they will continue to be big factors all season: Frank Gore, 31, 49ers While Gore has been doubted for three seasons running, he just keeps producing; he’s now up to 10,096 career rushing yards....
