Frederick Cecil McLean, 70, was wanted by the San Diego Sheriff’s Department in California on multiple counts of sexual assault on a child. He was deemed a high risk for allegedly sexually assaulting young girls and had been on the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted fugitive list since 2006. McLean’s body was found by a concerned neighbor conducting a welfare check at his home in the 200 block of Jennifer Lane, Seneca, South Carolina on November 6....

The Basketball Hall of Famer is suddenly a cultural icon and influencer again, almost a decade after he was fearlessly challenging NBA big men in the paint. Iverson, 41, will suit up with other NBA legends for the new BIG3 league debuting this summer. This week he laid a funny smackdown on former rival Tim Hardaway’s claim that he, not Iverson, created the “killer crossover” common among today’s NBA stars....

Alli is the subject of a FIFA probe after he was caught on camera raising a one-fingered salute during England’s 2-1 win over Slovakia at Wembley earlier this month. England 8/11 to keep Slovenia clean sheet Amid suggestions his gesture was aimed at referee Clement Turpin, Alli explained that it was in fact directed towards his former Spurs team-mate Kyle Walker. England boss Gareth Southgate corroborated Alli’s version of events immediately after the match, but admitted on Thursday that he ran the risk of appearing “a shambles” if the Spurs man has to miss out....

Much of Africa is still paying the price of colonialism: in the late 19th century European imperialists carved up the continent without regard to natural tribal or political borders. “You have a bunch of land masses which were bounded for the expediency of European expansion,” says Makau Mutua, a Kenyan attorney and projects director of the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School. “Almost none of these became viable states....

Players Conventional Wisdom P. McCartney + Flak’s lie can’t tarnish Sir Paul’s class act. CW believes in Yesterday. Rat Pack + Cablecast of Dino, Sammy and Frank in ‘65 was politically incorrect. Everyone loved it. Ellen - Out of the closet, into the dumpster. Upside: fewer silly photos with that Heche woman. Airlines - ““Alliances’’ may look good now, but get ready for Mentos for dinner. Salon + Sassy (and still free) online zine shows N....

While mortgage interest rates have recently increased and home prices have reached record heights in the past few months, first-time home buyers are being squeezed out of the market. Home prices are now 34 percent higher than they were two years ago, with prices that have continued to grow month-on-month in April, according to data published by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) on Tuesday. But while the housing market is bad for buyers all over the country, home prices have grown disproportionately in certain areas, leading some to raise concerns of a potential housing market crash....

At 13, Chelsea doesn’t need much minding. But it was Hillary Clinton who asked Dickey to move into the White House as a familiar face for her daughter. “She’s really part of the family,” says Caputo. Dickey’s mother, Robyn, also has a White House job, as a deputy director of the visitors’ office.

You might wonder why a bunch of women have to take lessons in caring from a man. But it shows how far women have come this year. They are a real force, and they know how to play hardball so well that-like men–they’ve got to worry about programming in their sensitive side. If Lee Atwater has an heir in Democratic politics, she’s wearing a skirt. Clinton adviser Mandy Grunwald, one of two women (along with Sherman) who is a full partner in a major media firm, is a master of jujitsu politics-turning an attack into a counterattack....

Though her movie career was short, Dandridge is in no danger of becoming a footnote. Two biographies have come out in the last decade, and Berry’s been vying with Whitney Houston, who bought rights to one of the books, to get her film out first. Besides the eerie coincidence of Berry and Dandridge being born in the same Cleveland hospital, Berry related to Dandridge’s struggles in an industry that still barely acknowledges black talent....

" Death in Venice " by Thomas Mann. He is a master of capturing the darker side of the human soul and the disintegration of Venice as cholera hits. “The Life Before Us” by Romain Gary. A haunting story of alienation, rejection and unlikely love between two people. “In Search of Lost Time” by Marcel Proust. All the workings of memory that he describes are reflected in the writing itself....

“The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Religious hypocrisy in America–it’s all there, and amazingly relevant. “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand. Dagny Taggert is a woman of gigantic ego, purpose and arrogance. She’s Hillary Clinton. “Mixed Company” by Irwin Shaw. He’s a romantic–I am, too–and I wanted to write nonfiction in the spirit of his short stories. “Underworld” by Don DeLillo. He writes astonishing scenes. Seagulls hovering over a garbage dump–you can see the seagulls, smell the garbage....

CHILDHOOD: “The Arabian Nights.” The heroine was a brown, feisty girl who saved all the women in her kingdom with stories. Teens: “Leaves of Grass” by Walt Whitman. Behold El Señor Whitman, a Latino-sounding fellow with his long rhetorical lines. Twenties: “The Woman Warrior” by Maxine Hong Kingston. A beautiful, lyrical memoir about coming from somewhere else and reinventing yourself, while still bearing the burden of the past. Thirties: “Middlemarch” by George Eliot....

A classic that, on rereading, disappointed: George Orwell’s “1984.” Why I would believe it would be interesting beyond the date, I don’t know. In the 1970s it was scary. By the 1990s it was quaint. You almost can’t blame it. A Certified Important Book you haven’t read: “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy. For not having read it, I feel I may be a little undereducated. I could be missing some insight into the human condition, because after all, what is life but the interplay between war and peace?...

A classic that, upon rereading, disappointed: Hasn’t happened recently. Last year, Willa Cather’s “My Antonia” was better than ever.

Kante wins Player of the Year award His double award has come a year too late, but it is better late than never and you can be sure Kante will remain humble after a decade-long battle to get to the top of the game. Kante’s former Leicester team-mate Riyad Mahrez won the PFA prize last season, with Jamie Vardy taking the FWA honour, and it has taken an extra year of relentless running, tackling and composed passing for the France international to finally catch the eye....

Major airlines suffered financially throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, with Spirit Airlines making headlines throughout the past year for numerous issues, including periods of extended flight disruptions and widespread customer dissatisfaction. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation show the company had a particularly high amount of customer grievances last year with 13.25 complaints per 100,000 passengers from January through September. Spirit also tied with Frontier in the American Customer Satisfaction Index of the industry’s worst customer satisfaction ratings....

Politics as usual? Not quite. The Bay State may be known for its liberalism, but that hasn’t kept old-style gender issues out of the race. O’Brien has tried to avoid the subject during this close campaign, focusing instead on her record as state treasurer. But Romney, the buff, telegenic hero who organized the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, has to navigate more carefully through these tricky shoals. He needs to win over women voters, whose support in the ’90s was crucial in electing Republican Gov....

The records detailing Dozoretz’s previously undisclosed promise were turned over to a House committee today along with records showing that Dozoretz’s friend, Denise Rich, the fugitive’s ex-wife, had contributed $450,000 to the library. The documents surfaced even as a federal grand jury in New York-which is conducting a criminal investigation into the Rich pardon overseen by U.S. attorney Mary Jo White-subpoenaed records from the Clinton library along with all government records relating to the Rich pardon....
