8 p.m. Minkah Fitzpatrick’s takeaways are steering the Steelers in the right direction. Fitzpatrick returned Jared Goff’s fumble 43 yards for a touchdown in the first half, then sealed the victory by picking off LA’s quarterback in the final minute, helping Pittsburgh stretch its winning streak to four games with a 17-12 victory over the visiting Rams.

The cause of delay seems to be the fact that Aonuma and his team have become enamored with all of the possibilities offered by the Wii U and the open world design of the next Zelda game. “In these last three months, as the team has experienced firsthand the freedom of exploration that hasn’t existed in any Zelda game to date,” explained Aonuma, “we have discovered new possibilities for this game....

In a word, yes. If there’s ever been an NFL executive at one with his team, not merely a part but the integral center of it, virtually alone responsible for its character, chemistry and cohesion, it’s Beathard. After five seasons of scraping, molding and rosterthrashing as the general manager of the San Diego Chargers, the ageless (actually 57 this week), towheaded, body-surfing beach boy has once again orchestrated a team into the Super Bowl....

Armitage’s admission led to a flurry of anxious phone calls and meetings that day at the State Department. (Days earlier, the Justice Department had launched a criminal investigation into the Plame leak after the CIA informed officials there that she was an undercover officer.) Within hours, William Howard Taft IV, the State Department’s legal adviser, notified a senior Justice official that Armitage had information relevant to the case. The next day, a team of FBI agents and Justice prosecutors investigating the leak questioned the deputy secretary....

Locals came streaming across a muddy construction site on the Cooper River to catch a glimpse of the rock star of politics....

In 2020, Labor Day will fall on Monday, September 7. The holiday unofficially marks the end of summer, and to some, the end of wearing white pants until next year. Though it serves as a sort of curtain call for the warm months, that’s not actually the point of the holiday. Labor Day is designed as a day of respect and a chance to thank all the working people in America and offer them a break from the typical workweek....

Saddam might think his troops can leave Kuwait proclaiming victory like the PLO guerrillas who left Lebanon after the 1982 Israeli invasion. But Bush administration strategists have plotted ways to erase any tint of triumph in Saddam’s retreat. NEWSWEEK has learned that if Saddam does offer an unconditional withdrawal, the president will immediately and publicly state allied terms for the Iraqi pullout. Key elements of the plan: Saddam will have to pull out his troops with maximum speed....

It’s part of a pattern for Yang. In the November debate, he also came in dead last on speaking minutes, at 6:48, despite polling higher than fellow debaters Klobuchar, Steyer, Tulsi Gabbard and Cory Booker. He also had the fewest minutes in the September and June debates. Business Insider found that Yang has consistently received less speaking time at the debates than one would expect, given his polling numbers....

Recall. After Poland’s defeat in late 1939, Britain and France had declared war on Germany. Yet little combat occurred, and the reigning fiction was that neither side wanted an all-out fight. Similarly, economic pronouncements of recent months have resolutely exuded optimism. The ““worst is over’’; the situation has ““stabilized’’; the U.S. economy has ““escaped.’’ So we were told. In early 1940, the British and French fell prey to wishful thinking....

Before we allow the likes of Meta, Google and Tencent into the fabric of our education system, we need clear assurance that it will not simply be “business as usual.” Before we let our children anywhere near the metaverse, we must be absolutely clear who is watching, and how. In the next 10 years, the biggest development in education will be the introduction of the metaverse into everyday learning. Virtual Zoom classrooms have already become the norm thanks to the pandemic....

Cavallo’s take-charge way has some political cartoonists in Buenos Aires calling him Domingo I. The 54-year-old minister is riding a wave of popularity as he settles back into his old job and he has wasted no time seizing the initiative.

The 10-part television series, which will air on ESPN in the U.S. and on Netflix outside the U.S., charts the 1997-98 season, which marked Michael Jordan and coach Phil Jackson’s final campaign with the Chicago Bulls. Before the season began, ESPN was granted unprecedented access with cameras following the team in the locker room, practice facility, and on every trip the Bulls made that year. Director Jason Hehir had access to approximately 10,000 hours of footage and ended up reducing it to ten 60-minutes episodes....
