The Magpies picked up a much-needed 3-0 win over Southampton before the international break to move four points clear of the relegation zone.

Oregon played without five starters, including defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, who could be the first overall pick in next spring’s NFL Draft. The weekly Newsweek top 20 saw as much shuffling this week as it did after the first full weekend of games. Alabama remains at No. 1, followed by Georgia at No. 2. Ohio State plummeted from the third spot all the way to No. 15 because, well, they lost at home to a team without five of its starters, and the Buckeyes didn’t look like a top 10 team....

The survey showed a sharply divided initial public reaction to the court decision ordering statewide hand recounts of disputed votes, with 46 percent agreeing with the court and 47 percent disagreeing. At the same time, responses from those surveyed after Friday’s ruling suggested a reversal of the trend that the public was losing patience with the wrangling in Florida. Polling on Thursday night had shown that–for the first time since the election–as many people (49 percent to 48 percent) thought it was more important to get the presidency resolved than to ensure a fair and accurate vote recount....

Presently, some taxpayers will begin to feel a sense of helpless frustration as they prepare to hand over a chunk of their hard-earned money to the government. Others will anxiously wait to see how much of their hard-earned money the government will be willing to give back. One comfort most Americans can take to heart this year, however, is that many have more money in their pockets to begin with than they did before President Donald Trump was in the White House—especially those on the lower half of the economic ladder....

The old military man smiled at the nervous South Dakota schoolboy, a signal that the question was just fine. Troy smiled, too. It was the first time he’d ever talked to a real-life hero from World War II, a man who had marched in the Army infantry in Europe. The boy would never forget it. But the talk wouldn’t have happened without high-tech wizardry in the classroom. Troy was sitting in a school in the tiny town of Viborg (population: 763); the veteran was 250 miles away in Pierre, the state capital....

To this last charge, Chalabi pleads guilty: “We do! Yes!” says the enthusiastic ex-banker, immaculate in a pale blue pinstripe suit as he receives visitors in his London offices. Trained as a mathematician at the University of Chicago and MIT, Chalabi has developed a military and political formula for Saddam’s defeat: the United States would seize air bases in southern Iraq, and defend them if necessary with its troops. Chalabi’s allies would carry out guerrilla operations and welcome what he promises will be such hordes of defectors and deserters that Saddam’s regime will crumble much as the Taliban did in Afghanistan....

The Paris Saint-Germain forward was one of a number of players to struggle against the Swiss as Brazil failed to live up to the pre-tournament hype surrounding them.
