The night’s most entertaining moment came when Clinton compared Dick Cheney to the Dark Lord of the Sith. “Vice President Cheney came up to see the Republicans yesterday. You can always tell when the Republicans are getting restless, because the Vice President’s motorcade pulls into the Capitol, and Darth Vader emerges,” she said. Oh snap. But a later moment was more characteristic. “This is question from a New York City schoolteacher,” said former Iowa Governor and current Clinton national campaign chair Tom Vilsack, who served as Clinton’s interviewer....

But when Muller’s superb biography, Anne Frank (330 pages. Metropolitan. $23), is published this week, the new diary pages will be found only in paraphrase. A legal battle between Suijk and the Anne Frank Fonds, a foundation in Basel, Switzerland, that owns the copyright to the diary, prevented Muller from directly quoting them. (That didn’t stop a Dutch newspaper from printing the entries last month and posting them on the Internet....

Friday was to see Sprint Cup teams get their only full practice before qualifying (blame Thursday’s weather), and qualifying from the night’s Xfinity Series race. By 3 p.m. ET, only Cup practice had occurred. MORE: Kyle Busch wrecks | 10 drivers to watch | Denny Hamlin on the defensive Why? Lightning and other meteorological messiness forced Daytona International Speedway to order fans out of their grandstand seats. The day would go from the roar of racing engines to the rumble of thunder to the shrill wail of track-drying machines....

On Tuesday, Indian public broadcaster Doordarshan aired an interview with the Central European leader in which he disclosed his government’s plans to follow Lithuania’s lead by establishing reciprocal trade offices with Taipei. He also warned that continued Chinese pressure against the democratic island and its newfound friends in the European Union would backfire. Zhao Lijian, a spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry, told a press conference that Beijing was “shocked by this and strongly opposes it....

The fusion of long-hidden secrets with the destructive-redemptive power of love forms the hot core of Morrison’s masterworks, “Song of Solomon” (1977) and “Beloved’ (1987). It may seem rash to be claiming such stature already for “Love,” the novel that will appear this November, but somebody’s going to, and it might as well be us. To try to summarize the book would be equally rash. So here goes: it’s about a preintegration, black-run seaside resort, the glad-handing owner’s marriage to an 11-year-old girl, what was won and lost during the civil-rights movement, the lifelong love-hate bond between two women, a poisoning (or is it?...

Center Anthony Cirelli left during the second period with an apparent upper-body injury. After he was tripped up behind the Avalanche net, it looks as if he was clipped by the skate of teammate Alex Killorn. Cirelli returned in the third period, however, and took the opening draw for the Lightning. He did not appear affected by the injury while he was skating. It would have been a big blow for the Lightning as Cirelli, along with linemates Alex Killorn and Brandon Hagel, have been consistently paired up against Nathan MacKinnon and the top line of Colorado....

But there was one number that stood out: a big “8” in the assist column. Davis has now dished out eight or more assists four times through his first 22 games. He didn’t hit eight assists once in 75 games played last season. He is now averaging 5.0 assists, more than doubling his previous career high of 2.3.

The Pelicans are still “not interested” in sending the 26-year-old star to the Lakers, who will hold the fourth pick in the 2019 NBA Draft after they jumped up in the lottery earlier this week, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported Wednesday during an appearance on “The Jump.” Los Angeles pursued a deal for Davis before the deadline. The Pelicans surprisingly secured the No. 1 spot in the draft and are widely expected to select former Duke star Zion Williamson....

The Pelicans won the 2019 NBA Draft lottery Tuesday, but Davis hasn’t changed his mind about desiring a trade, according to a report from The Athletic, which cites unidentified league sources. Davis first requested a trade in January. The Pelicans reportedly gauged the market and listened to offers from multiple teams, but ultimately decided to wait things out. New Orleans is expected to select Duke’s Zion Williamson with the top pick in the 2019 NBA Draft....

Davis had an incredible stretch of games in the playoffs and New Orleans plans to see more of that by securing its foundation. That’s why, according to ESPN, the Pelicans plan to be aggressive this offseason in getting a max contract for the All-Star forward. MORE: Anthony Davis for MVP?

State of the Union host Dana Bash asked Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whether “other states should follow California’s lead and require kids to get vaccinated for the coronavirus to go to school?” “You know, I’m not going to be recommending things to other states, I’ll let their leaders of those states,” Fauci said on the CNN program. “But I think what the governor did in California was something that was sound judgment,” he added....

Back at the stadium where he beat Wladimir Klitschko in an 11-round thriller last year, Joshua again went to the trenches against a high-class opponent. MORE: Join DAZN and see more than 70 fight nights a year Povetkin, 39, wobbled Joshua at the end of Round 1 and the champion’s nose was oozing blood in the second as he struggled with the Russian veteran’s rumbling and relentless attacks. Some nasty damage above the left eye did not dissuade the challenger and the fight was up for grabs at halfway before Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) sensationally took the scorecards out of the equation....

It didn’t take long for Joshua to do so, as his promoter at Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, revealed Tuesday that the 29-year-old would exercise his right to an immediate rematch with the new IBF, WBA (super) and WBO heavyweight champion. MORE: Watch the full replay of Ruiz’s upset of Joshua on DAZN Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) triggering the clause in the contract is not a surprise, but the fact that Hearn said the rematch will take place in one of the last two months of the year is a bit alarming considering Joshua got knocked down four times Saturday....

A spokesperson for Nashville Police Chief John Drake on Sunday identified the suspect connected to the bomb detonated in downtown Nashville as Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, confirming Newsweek’s previous reporting. Authorities said Warner “was present when the bomb went off and he perished in the bombing.” A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told Newsweek that officials searched the suspect’s address at 115 Bakertown Road in Antioch, Tennessee, on Saturday after receiving a tip linking Warner to an RV matching an image released by authorities....

Arne Duncan served in the Obama administration for seven years after serving as the CEO of Chicago’s school system prior to that. Duncan was all A’s on Sunday, and his tweet had nothing to do with alphabets or algebra. It was anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers and Afghan terrorists against Americans. Here’s what Duncan tweeted: “Have you noticed how strikingly similar both the mindsets and actions between the suicide bombers at Kabul’s airport, and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here?...

The study, published by researchers at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia, examined data from the 2005–2015 United States Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (MEPS), a large longitudinal study that tracks what health services Americans use. It found that an average of around 17.5 million adult patients were diagnosed with depression each year, and 57.6% of them were treated with antidepressant medications. While using antidepressants was associated with some improvement in the mental component of the quality of life, there was no significant difference between the quality of life of people with depressive disorder who did not take antidepressants and those who did....

Antigenic Drift A minor change to a flu virus is known as antigenic drift. Both influenza A and B viruses undergo antigenic drift. These mutations in the virus’s genes can lead to changes in its surface proteins hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Known as antigens, these are recognized by the immune system, prompting an immunological response that can result in illness and promote immunity in the future. As the virus replicates, these changes in antigenic drift happen continually....

Histamine is responsible for allergic symptoms. In people with allergic asthma, histamine causes airway (bronchiole) constriction. It also causes excess mucus production. Together, these effects impede airflow to the lungs. Antihistamines prevent histamine from binding to receptors that trigger symptoms in both conditions. Antihistamines are available over the counter (OTC) and prescription as tablets, capsules, liquid gels, eye drops, and nasal sprays. Common OTC antihistamine brands include Allegra (fexofenadine), Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Claritin (loratadine), Xyzal (levocetirizine), and Zyrtec (cetirizine)....
