Asked on Friday if he would recognize Tom Hoge, Woods quipped: “No, I wouldn’t. What is it?” It’s pronounced “Hoagie,” by the way, like the sandwich. And while Woods is the talk of the tournament, Hoge slid quietly into the top of the leaderboard. Woods’ 11 under through 36 holes on Friday matched Hoge’s score from earlier in the day. After his round, Woods admitted he had no idea who Hoge was....

Early in the spread of the novel coronavirus, however, Pineau decided to use this skill to help her community.

The outrage began with a tweet by former Navy SEAL Jonathan Gilliam that made the incendiary claim that Rapinoe had stomped on the American flag. “You should be disturbed by this unpatriotic narcissistic behavior,” Gilliam wrote a few hours after the match. “@mPinoe is neither a hero or a role model.” This tweet, which has not been deleted, has been retweeted about 4,500 times, “liked” over 9,000 times and continues to influence discussions of the event....

The U.S. women’s recent victory over the Netherlands in the finals of the World Cup is one among a series of accomplishments of which we should all be proud. Instead, the focus has been on Rapinoe, who has consistently and perhaps deliberately gone out of her way to distinguish herself from the other players on America’s remarkable national soccer team. That’s not the way it should be. There’s no “I” in team—and it has been her off-screen antics, rather than her accomplishments on the field, that have made her stand out....

Lady Anne Glenconner, a close friend of members of the royal family and former lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret, talked about Harry and Meghan, a couple she refers to as “the ones that have gone to America,” during a recent address at Oxford Union, a debating society.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were pictured leaving a medical centre in Beverley Hills on the Daily Mail’s website on July 11 last year. The images, credited to paparazzi agency Backgrid, showed the couple in face masks and Meghan in sunglasses climbing into what the newspaper described as a “gas-guzzling Cadillac SUV.” The website called the vehicle “an unusual choice for the staunchly eco-conscious duo” and quoted a review saying the car was “as far from environmentally-friendly as you can get....

The Duchess of Sussex won an emphatic victory over the U.K. tabloid in February after claiming its case was so weak there was no need for a trial. Meghan sent Thomas Markle a five-page handwritten note in August 2018, three months after her wedding to Prince Harry. It outlined her emotional reaction to his dealings with the media and begged him to stop giving interviews about her. The newspaper asked the High Court judge who heard the case to grant permission to appeal but Mark Warby rejected the request, saying he saw “no real prospect” of it succeeding....

The podcast series is titled Archetypes, and will “dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back.” In a one-minute trailer released by the streaming platform, Meghan introduces her new podcast following a number of voices referring to women in a series of derogatory ways, such as “skanky” and “weak.” The duchess then states: “This is how we talk about women: the words that raise our girls, and how the media reflects women back to us....

The former NFL quarterback’s six-part show debuted on the streaming platform on October 29, and attention was quickly drawn to his slavery comparison comments. “What they don’t want you to understand is what’s being established is a power dynamic,” Kaepernick said in the show. “Before they put you on the field, teams poke, prod, and examine you. Searching for any defect that might affect your performance. No boundary respected. No dignity left intact....

The Art of Her Deal by Mary Jordan, a Washington Post reporter, gives a behind-the-scenes look at Melania’s life and her relationship with Trump. When it comes to Melania, an overarching theme of the book is the idiom, “there’s more than meets the eye,” including with regard to the role she plays in her husband’s administration. “Melania is very behind-the-scenes but unbelievably influential,” Sean Spicer, the president’s first communication director, told Jordan....
