“There’s an Iraqi proverb,” says actor Risan Mohammed, “Whoever is sleeping with my mother, we’ll call him Uncle.” Iraqis are angry at Uncle Sam’s troops over the continued disorder and are convinced the Americans are here to stay to pillage their vast oil wealth. At the same time they’re thrilled to see the back of Saddam Hussein and enraptured by their first taste of freedom in 30 years. Former general Jay Garner, head of the Americans’ reconstruction authority, keeps trotting out the same metaphor to explain the conundrum....

This year, he’s quarterbacking one of college football’s most explosive offenses — and that’s the player Kelly will have to worry about come Saturday.

In fact, their video proved that when it comes to disinfecting toilets, or any hard surface, most people are making one major mistake.

A study has found that 11.5 percent of U.S. respondents believe politics is damaging their physical health. Two in five (38 percent) said it is causing stress, while one in five say they are losing sleep over the news cycle. According to the researchers, this is the first study to look at the physical and mental side effects of keeping up with politics. “It became apparent, especially during the 2016 electoral season, that this was a polarized nation, and it was getting even more politically polarized,” research leader Kevin Smith, a political scientist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said in a statement....

Between visits to Dhahran, Amanpour, 38, has compiled a collection of passport stamps and broadcasting awards that make her the envy of every news operation on TV.
