Against the Rockies on Wednesday, the Padres shortstop led off the bottom of the second inning with a single up the middle before showing off his speed — and flexibility.

Bhutto was certainly prescient about the threat. On Thursday, as her motorcade inched along a parade route guarded by roughly 20,000 Pakistani security forces, one or more suicide bombers set off twin explosions that killed at least 134 bystanders and police, and injured 450 others. The bombs narrowly missed Bhutto, who had ducked into her armored truck minutes before. Shaken but uninjured, she was rushed to safety. Musharraf’s government quickly fingered Baitullah Mehsud, a longtime Taliban supporter and director of some of the most lethal training facilities for suicide bombers in the far-off mountains of Waziristan....

When COVID-19 first emerged, some experts presumed that it would pose the same threat as the seasonal flu. The narrative was direct: lockdowns would be short-lived, recovery periods swift, and death and disability restricted to older adults and people with compromised immune systems.

For some patients, the projected two-week recovery period stretched into months....
