Pennsylvanians, Vermonters, Montanans and Michiganders—three blue states and one red—were the most likely to leave their money on the table, typically $1,200 per adult and $500 for children under 17. Arizonans and Texans were the least likely to pass up the stimulus payments from Uncle Sam, according to a Newsweek analysis of data provided by the IRS in response to a Freedom of Information Act request; both states have Republican governors but split the 2020 presidential vote, with Joe Biden ultimately winning typically-red Arizona by less than 10,500 votes....

A survey released Thursday by the Associated Press found that 65 percent of U.S. adults are “extremely” or “very” concerned about the threat to the country from domestic groups, compared to 50 percent who feel the same about the threat from foreign extremist groups. There was no significant difference between Republicans and Democrats regarding the threat from foreign extremist groups. Forty-nine percent of Democrats reported being extremely or very concerned about the issue, compared to 54 percent of Republicans....

A YouGov poll released last week found that 30 percent of adult U.S. citizens would be willing to buy a house that had been owned by murder victims but was in their price range and met all other requirements, while 32 percent were not willing and 38 were unsure or preferred not to say. While most people did not say that they would buy houses that prior owners had been murdered in, realtors attempting to sell such homes may find success depending on factors that include the sale price and the state of the market....

The study found that chicken wings are considered a reliable classic food (63 percent), and are the favorite among casual-dining appetizers (54 percent), followed by chips and salsa (46 percent) and French fries (44 percent). Results showed that chicken wings are a crowd-pleasing appetizer for even the pickiest of eaters and 75 percent agree that it’s hard to beat the taste of a chicken wing, which may be why 3 in 5 said they’re likely to order them most or every time they go to a restaurant....

The official royal family Twitter account tweeted three pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge with the queen while wishing her “very happy birthday” on Thursday. The account also tweeted a link to the duchess’ profile page on the royal website which details her work since she married Prince William in 2011. A similar tribute was also paid by the Twitter account of Clarence House, the official residence of Prince Charles and his wife Camilla....

Interestingly, club president DK Bose states that the team is focused on reaching the top-tier of Indian football. That can be gauged by their current group standings. “There is not much motivation to play in the second division anymore. We are very eager to move to the first division of the I-League, either through the corporate quota or via qualification,” DK Bose told Goal. Contesting in the top-tier can be challenging, both on and off the field....

The human rights organization stated in a press release Saturday that Lebanon security forces were beating protesters, chasing them at gunpoint, and using large amounts of tear gas on crowds that had gathered in major cities to protest political corruption and call for economic and social reforms. Protests in Lebanon began in early October, with many moved to act by the country’s growing economic crisis, trash pileup, and failing power grid....

Klobuchar appeared on the program to talk about the now-viral video showing officers kneeling on Floyd’s throat. Floyd can be heard in the video telling the officers he can’t breathe; later, he appears to lose consciousness. He was pronounced dead when an ambulance took him to a local medical facility. Though Klobuchar, former Democratic candidate for president and potential vice presidential nominee, called for the officers in the video to be prosecuted, she has a reputation from her time as a prosecutor of going after light sentences for police officers charged with killing citizens....

On Monday night’s episode of the show, the California-based engineering manager edged past the 38-game record set by Matt Amodio just months ago—leaving her behind only all-time champ Ken Jennings, who secured 74 wins back in 2004. In an interview on Good Morning America on Monday, Schneider was asked by George Stephanopoulos what the secret was to her record-breaking success. “I’m not really sure about a lot of it; I never expected to do this well, but I think the main secret is just being curious and spending my life learning a lot of stuff,” the University of Dayton alum told Stephanopoulos, who guest-hosted the show in July....

The Pap smear has caused a fivefold drop in cervical cancer since the 1960s. But since a doctor must take the smear during a pelvic exam, women who don’t have access to gynecologists aren’t screened. So a self-collected test could be good news for patients, like the 1,365 South Africans in one of the JAMA studies. They collected their own vaginal samples on swabs. Samples were sent to the United States, where a DNA test caught 66 percent of the women’s cervical cancers; 68 percent were detected by Pap smears....

Whether or not this assault by the congressional GOP is influencing the voters is anybody’s guess. The real action, as both sides know, lies with independent counsel Kenneth Starr, who has been quietly investigating the Whitewater affair for a year. Like any prosecutor, Starr and his staff have the legal authority to bring criminal charges. They have already sent Webster Hubbell, one of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s oldest friends, to jail, and they have indicted Arkansas Gov....

Although he was a European, Erikson fashioned a theory of human development that mirrored American optimism about an individual’s ability to grow and change. Departing from the rigid Freudian notion that the ego is fixed in early childhood, Erikson demonstrated that “identity formation” is a lifelong-though largely unconscious-process. “If everything ‘goes back’ into childhood,” he warned, “then everything is somebody else’s fault, and trust in one’s own power of taking responsibility for oneself may be undermined....

Walking around Stockholm, it’s hard not to be struck by something gorgeous every time you turn a corner. Maybe it’s catching the last ray of golden sunlight glittering across the water as you walk along the cliffs of Södermalm; or noticing an ancient runestone embedded in the corner of a building; or stretching out your arms to touch the red-and-ochre buildings on either side of a narrow, cobblestone street, then looking up at a slice of blue sky between them; or stopping for a break in a square where shiny modern buildings frame statues of water sprites, and feeling astounded all over again at the effortless style of the beautiful people around you....

And Sharon wasn’t even prime minister yet. Ehud Barak, the man he trounced, still served as a caretaker. Because Sharon’s Likud Party has only 19 of the 120 seats in the Knesset, he cannot rule without forming a stable coalition. He would prefer a “unity government” including Barak’s Labor Party. “Sharon badly needs a deal with Labor to show the world he’s not so extreme,” says Zeev Shiff, a political columnist for the daily Haaretz....

Last night I saw you again. It was the season finale of HBO’s drama The Undoing, starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, Lily Rabe, and Donald Sutherland. I should’ve been focused on savoring the final installment of the opulent melodrama, but I couldn’t. Even as Nicole Kidman descended in a private helicopter to save her son from the clutches of her deviant spouse, I should have been sneering at the obscenities afforded the wealthy even in fiction, but I couldn’t....
