The name calling and efforts to discredit the rival, as distinct from merely trying to win the contest by working harder or being better or even merely claiming to be better, are in evidence everywhere....

The patients in the test received either ivermectin or a placebo, and the results of the study found that those who received ivermectin were not less likely to end up hospitalized.

Yet when the novel—which might now be called “creative nonfiction”—appeared, its events were already 10 years in the past. And in 1947, when Kerouac (Sal Paradise in the book) hit the road, the America that obsessed him was already dwindling. Even bebop—apparently the only worthwhile product of modernity—was in decline, from Charlie Parker hot to West Coast cool. Kerouac mostly loved the vestiges of the Great Depression of the ’30s: the hobos, hitchhikers, migrant workers and good plain folks just trying to get by....

Since 2006, only Manny Ramirez (27) has enjoyed a longer hitting streak for the Red Sox than Bradley’s. But it wasn’t Bradley who led Boston to a 9-1 win against the Indians — it was fellow outfielder Mookie Betts. MORE: Cubs’ Jason Heyward to miss several games Betts went 3 for 5 with three runs scored, two home runs — including a grand slam — and five RBIs.

Early in the second period, after a little more than 20 minutes worth of back-and-forth with Penguins defenseman Robert Bortuzzo, Jagr left the game....

The LA pass rusher had a night to forget. An offside penalty led to a Jaguars touchdown, and he was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct in the third quarter. But it was a helmet throw — two, actually — that changed the game....
