The guerrilla art was the work of anti-war artist James Colomina, who is based in Toulouse, France. Speaking to Newsweek, Colomina explained how he installed his latest piece, and what message he was trying to convey with the provocative sculpture. Describing putting the sculpture in place, he said: “It’s a game of cat and mouse, you have to pass between the mesh of the net. “I waited until there were no more police cars and park security officers....

I was raised at the multiplex. I started going to the movies in the first grade, and by the time I was 10, I was already a film buff. Little league? No ability. Piano lessons? Yeech. Hebrew school? I got by. But when it came to the movies, I was an early expert. I had a copy of Leonard Maltin’s film guide on my bedside table and movie posters all over my walls....

Herzog, who’d been spotted earlier in the day on a historic Charlottesville street (and he was easy to spot-he was the only guy all in black including a leather jacket), said he didn’t have a clue what his connection was to our third president. Jefferson’s buildings aren’t analyzed in Swiss architecture schools. Of course, Herzog hastened to say, he was honored by any comparison. The Pritzker Prize, often called architecture’s Nobel, was started in 1979 by Chicago’s Pritzker family, who run the Hyatt hotel chain....

In December, less a month before he took office, Bolsonaro vowed to stop government agencies from handing out fines for environmental crimes. As part of plans to cut government spending, the president slashed the agency’s budget by 25 percent. He has said he wouldn’t approve new effort to conserve land for indigenous populations, and his relaxation of environmental regulation has ushered in a wave of deforestation. But those who draw attention to the new trend face possible punishment....

Biden, who served as President Barack Obama’s vice president, has committed to selecting a woman as his running mate, and many have urged him to select a woman of color. Although the presumptive Democratic nominee and his campaign have been relatively tight-lipped about whom he is leaning toward choosing, several prominent names have been widely circulated. Names floated include two former primary rivals, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kamala Harris of California....

Only 2.6 percent of respondents to the poll concerning “Safety in the Taiwan Strait” said they hoped for more antagonism, but as many as 77.6 percent said they were “willing to fight to defend Taiwan” if China struck first. The poll results were released this week by Taiwan Strategy Research Association and the Taiwan International Studies Association. Focus Survey Research conducted the poll using computer-assisted telephone interviewing between October 21 and 22, and asked questions of 1,076 Taiwanese adults above 20—the legal age to vote in a presidential election....

22 years after his triumph on the world stage, Sakamoto’s golden voice was silenced when a Japanese airliner crashed into the hills of Gumma prefecture, just north of Tokyo. Sakamato was among the 520 who perished—the largest loss of life on any single aircraft in the history of aviation. The tragedy that haunts Japan to this day is that not all of those victims died at once. The plane’s wreckage was spotted within 20 minutes of the crash by U....

Having just appointed two new members to the Board of Governors of the Postal Service, that move now appears to be within his grasp. But what ails the Post Office is bigger than DeJoy, and it started long before he did. “If you think getting rid of him solves the problem, it doesn’t,” Mark Jamison, a military veteran and retired postmaster from North Carolina, told Newsweek. “The problem is much deeper than DeJoy....

Biden has started to reveal nominees for his Cabinet, including Secretary of State, National Security Adviser and Ambassador to the United Nations. But no members of Congress have been named so far. “Nothing is off the table,” Biden said, before hinting that he could decide to keep progressive lawmakers in their current roles on Capitol Hill. “Taking someone out of the Senate, taking someone out of the House, particularly a person of consequence, is really a difficult decision that will have to be made....

Americans on both sides of the political aisle have called for Congress to “show me the money,” but neither parties have signaled much willingness to meet in the middle in terms of the cost of the spending. Democrats have accused Republicans of failing to allocate sufficient funding to tackle the pandemic and Republicans have accused Democrats of utilizing COVID to further their agenda. In the latest Quinnipiac poll, released Wednesday, Graham tied with his challenger Jamie Harrison 48-48 among likely voters in South Carolina, a race that had been considered a longshot for the Democratic party in a strong Republican state....

In an essay published in Foreign Affairs, Ghani said President Joe Biden’s decision to bring home the last of the 2,500 troops from the country provides the Afghan people with a chance for “real sovereignty.” According to Ghani, the only way forward for the country would be for the Taliban to forsake violence and become an active part of the country’s decisions in a meaningful, peaceful manner. “But the ball is in their court,” he wrote....

As scientific efforts to wipe out SARS-CoV-2 intensify, so do the structure and activities of the virus. We are doing everything we can to keep SARS-CoV-2 off the map, so it is doing everything in its power to stay on it. Primarily: it is mutating. What do these mutations mean? Will they prove more harmful to us than the original virus, or are they benign occurrences? Most importantly, how will these mutations affect our current treatment and vaccine efforts?...

If the former president were still merely teasing the prospect of running, the blows he has absorbed in 2022 would not feel so significant. They would simply join a list of arguments for or against a decision he might make at a later time. But the Trump 2024 operation is officially underway. Instead of the usual analysis from supporters and critics that naturally accompanies a campaign launch, the air is filled with fundamental questions about the Trump brand and ever-louder assertions of its decline....

Though several years removed from the cheating scandal that tarnished its first title win in 2017, Houston has been unable to escape the shadow of the scandal. Opposing fans bring inflatable trash cans to games and consistently refer to the Astros as cheaters, as the memory of the 2017 run still lingers. Here’s a complete look back at the Astros’ cheating scandal, from when it was first reported to how long it lasted to the fallout from MLB’s investigation....

The right-hander proved that with his brilliant start on Saturday in a 4-0 win against the Yankees in the ALCS; he allowed only two hits in five scoreless innings that required only 54 pitches. Lance McCullers followed with four brilliant innings in relief, striking out six in four shutout innings. “If I have the ball, with any opportunity of finishing the game, I’m emptying the gas tank every pitch and I’m just going to keep going and going until they tell me otherwise,” McCullers told Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal on the field after the game....
