Old Enemies New Questions

New questions and fresh leads have now reopened the Evers case–and could bring Beckwith to trial again. Beckwith’s defense turned on testimony from two police officers who placed him in Greenwood, 100 miles away, around the time Evers was shot. But two Jackson men now say they saw Beckwith at New Jerusalem Baptist Church, where Evers spoke the night he died.

Old Habits Die Hard For Liverpool As Defensive Gremlins Resurface At Arsenal

Jurgen Klopp’s men were 2-0 up courtesy of Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah, but they didn’t allow the celebrations for the Egypt international’s 21st goal of the season to marinate. Instead, a minute later, they removed the good-defending mask they’ve been wearing - only conceding two penalties in their last 6 games - to morph back into Individual Errors FC. Joe Gomez switched off at the back post, allowing Alexis Sanchez to head in, before Simon Mignolet, fully aware of Granit Xhaka’s threat from distance, failed to deal with a 30-yard effort that was straight at him....

It is a ritual that will traverse, at least symbolically, the grand expanse of three millenniums of Western civilization, a spectacle revered by the country where both the Olympics and the marathon were born.

Preparations for the 2004 Summer Games are lagging far behind schedule, and many outside observers believe the organizers might fall on their faces, and lose face as well....
