And then it started. Fifty years ago next month, Associate Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson made the opening statement at what was then called the International Military Tribunal-and what ever since has been known as the Nuremberg war-crimes trial. “The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish,” Jackson said, “have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating, that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored, because it cannot survive their being repeated....

Douglas, one-fifth of the United States’ latest gold-medal gymnastics steamroller, didn’t put her hand over her heart after the team competition. Because it’s not a rule. Because it’s just as respectful to do as she did. MORE: Images of the day | ‘Final Five’ work beautifully as one Still, people reacted and the snowball started down the hill. It came to a crescendo when NBC got around to airing the competition on Tuesday night, but not before Douglas had preemptively apologized....

In doing so, he defied expectations, precedent and history. Biden is only the fourth candidate in modern history to defeat an elected incumbent president. He has already received more votes than any other presidential candidate in the history of our nation. And when all the votes are counted, he is likely to end up landing more than 300 Electoral College votes, flipping five states from red to blue and winning the popular vote by more than 5 million....

We’ve collected some of our favorite apps from across the web, drawing from both user reviews and our own experience. Some are collaborative, some are a little more barebones, and some are downright gorgeous to look at and remarkably intuitive to use. • Read more: Best cell phone provider (opens in new tab) A quick distinction before we begin, though. We’re looking at task managers and to-do list apps, as opposed to more collaborative project management tools such as the likes of Trello, Asana, ClickUp, and more....

He looked sheepishly at me, pulled the paper back and headed toward the corner. And then it hit me. The reason he had had to ask me, a stranger, was not because he hadn’t seen the sign. It was because he couldn’t read it. He was not alone. An astonishing 47 percent of Detroiters, nearly one out of two adults in this predominantly black city, are functionally illiterate. (By way of comparison, the figure for Vietnam is 6....

For those who live on these parched plains and blizzard-swept mountains, this ornery attitude makes perfect sense. With its grandeur and desolation, the land dominates a Westerner’s psyche. For the price of a beer in any saloon in the Rockies, you can get an earful about this monumental legacy. I learned as much on my first story as a NEWSWEEK correspondent out West, covering a federal program to capture wolves in Canada and return them to their former habitats in the Lower 48....

Rooney left United in July, rejoining Everton having spent 13 years at Old Trafford and, over that time, becoming the club’s all-time record goalscorer. Everton 17/2 to beat Man Utd And though Mourinho has previously claimed he would have preferred Rooney stay at United, the former Chelsea manager has acknowledged it was an easy decision to let the 31-year-old - who is likely to start for the Toffees at Old Trafford on Sunday - return to Goodison Park....

An unfortunate Thiago Cionek own goal and a first international strike from M’Baye Niang helped Senegal upset Poland in their Group H clash in Moscow. While Grzegorz Krychowiak pulled a goal back for Poland in the closing minutes, they were unable to find a second to rescue a point. Lewandowski said errors and a failure to take risks cost his team, but he vowed they would be better in a crucial clash against Colombia on Sunday....

Lewandowski has been in typically effective form in front of goal this season, scoring 24 times in 28 matches across all competitions, but not everyone has been impressed. Former Liverpool and Bayern midfielder Hamann criticised Lewandowski for being individualistic, sluggish and overly theatrical on the pitch. According to Hamann, those traits were seeing Lewandowski become an issue for Bayern, who sit third in the Bundesliga, seven points adrift of leaders Borussia Dortmund....

These days a 17in laptop is going to be of the gaming variety, focused on power and not portability. LG has proved here that a large laptop like this doesn’t have to be thick and heavy. In fact, it’s lighter than many laptops with a smaller screen. It’s also no slough when it comes to performance and there are good features on offer here. Note that you can now check out our LG gram 17 (2020) review, which replaces this model....

World No.5 Li, who won the first grand slam tennis singles title for Asia back at the 2011 French Open, will be representing China, reports Xinhua. Li, who was the runner-up at last year’s tournament in Montreal, prepares for her first match Wednesday against Russia’s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. “Last year I got a lot of confidence after I come to the final, but you know this year is already one year past, so but yeah, I will focus on every match,” she stressed....

Business as usual for those wild and crazy Teamsters? Not quite. The election, which concludes this week, marks the first time rank-and-file members have been able to directly elect their international officers in the union’s 88-year existence. It’s a long way from the days when America’s most powerful union befriended U.S. presidents, bullied prosecutors and decided elections. In the early 1960s, Teamster president Jimmy Hoffa felt strong enough to go head to head in a heated grudge match with Attorney General Robert F....

Neither candidate had enough electoral votes needed to end the race by Friday night, though Biden was ahead in terms of both the Electoral College and the popular vote. A handful of swing states were still up for grabs Friday, and in some cases the number of votes cast for Libertarian Party presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen exceeded the gap between Biden and Trump. “Libertarian voters could have swung the Electoral College by at least 22 votes by supporting Trump in battleground states Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada,” political strategist Ryan Cassin told Fox News....

Of course, when I found the pack, I picked them up, being the little rebel I was and, I suppose, still am. I took them to my bedroom, out on my porch and lighted one up with the matches I stole from Dad. I didn’t get a buzz, because I didn’t inhale, but just the fact I was actually smoking made me think I was cool. But my snobby friend Donna didn’t think so....

Even after their critically-acclaimed new film Turning Red has been proving a success in its own right, Disney has been in a bit of hot water lately regarding the court of public opinion. Aside from the company’s unfortunate political spending habits, the people in charge also recently received a statement from employees and allies at Pixar Animation Studios condemning their erasure of LGBTQ+ scenes and content over the years. Some might not expect something like that to bear much fruit, but it looks as though some positive change might be coming....
