Forget that the team fired its general manager after another postseason collapse, but not its coach — at least until the new general manager sort-of-kind-of-not-really had the chance to do it himself. Forget that the new general manager is, literally, an old general manager. Forget that Jim Rutherford publicly stated that he’d found his guy, then had that guy take a job other than head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins....

Sullivan led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup championship in 2015-16, his first season as coach of the team. “Mike did the best coaching job in the NHL last season,” general manager Jim Rutherford said in a statement. “He continues to be a terrific coach and we are happy to give him a well-deserved extension.” MORE: Greatest Penguins of all time Sullivan, 48, replaced former coach Mike Johnston in Dec....

But now “rational drug design” has taken hold in the laboratories of dozens of small pharmaceuticals firms. That’s not to say that drug research has been irrational-just serendipitous. The new tools of biotechnology and computers make it more scientific. The potential payoff-. drugs that are cheaper, more effective and safer than those in the medicine cabinet today. The new techniques lend themselves particularly well to some illnesses–cancer, heart disease, AIDS-that have mostly resisted the pharmacologists’ old tricks....

In 2006 a penis transplant was performed in China, but it was considered unsuccessful because the transplant recipient’s body rejected the organ. The first successful penis transplant was performed in South Africa in 2014, involving a 21-year-old recipient who lost his penis due to a failed circumcision. After the 2014 procedure proved successful, other transplants were performed, one in the U.S. in 2016 and another in South Africa in 2017....

“The bottom line is, we’re going to make sure here in Pennsylvania, that we respect the will of the people. We’re going to get an accurate count,” Shapiro told Good Morning America on Wednesday. “It’s the law. The law says, ‘Count every eligible vote and that’s exactly what’s happening all across Pennsylvania right now.’” When asked about the president threatening to go to the Supreme Court to stop the counting, Shapiro told Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopolous that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has largely settled this issue....

And according to our latest data, Pennsylvania may prove to be a perfect example. In 2016, President Donald Trump won the state by 44,000 votes. That year, however, 268,000 eligible women of color did not vote, according to a She the People analysis based on 2016 census information....

It’s been an up-and-down stay with the Browns since Odell Beckham arrived in 2019, with a few injuries and questions over touches and use in that span. While still a productive player when healthy, something just hasn’t clicked in Cleveland with Baker Mayfield tossing him passes since 2019. Turning 29 in in just a few weeks’ time — and seven years removed from the catch that vaulted him into superstardom — Beckham’s next act may be in his third uniform, and might be his last and best opportunity to make a mark in his once-promising NFL career....

First, Bob McKenzie said the league “orchestrated” it, and now this....

The base at Crotone is supposed to be a shining example of defense cost-sharing between the United States and its NATO allies. Two years ago Spain ordered the United States to remove its F-16 fighters from the Torrejon Air Base near Madrid by 1992. In time of war the jets–which carry nuclear weapons–would be flown to Italy and Turkey to protect Southern Europe from a Soviet attack. Because of easing superpower tensions and budget cuts, the Pentagon had planned to deactivate the air wing....

How do you foresee the future of French television? I fear the worst. With the course it’s taking–fake laughter, commercial programming–culture is sacrificed. And French literature? It’s evident that French literature is not in a great period. Perhaps it is simply resting. I’d like to think that at least. That means there’s hope. What will you do with your time off? Take time to read what I have missed: young Americans and old Japanese....
