Two years earlier, Horton, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole, had assaulted a Maryland couple. He knifed and beat the man and raped his fiancée while on a weekend furlough program from a Massachusetts prison. By the end of the ‘88 presidential campaign, Republicans had made good on the pledge of Lee Atwater, Bush’s campaign manager, to make Horton a household name. The GOP ad campaigns featuring Horton’s black “thug”-shot became a symbol of soft-on-crime Democrats—and an effective exercise in campaign fear mongering....

Bay, a 6-year-old Basenji mix, had escaped from dog-sitters at her Framingham, Massachusetts home while her owner was away in June of 2016. The non-profit group Missing Dogs Massachusetts announced that Bay had reunited with her human “mom” after the extended absence in a Facebook post on Tuesday, alongside photos of the healthy-looking pooch. “She is now safe and warm after almost 5 years out there. A microchip helping make the final identification....

Aside from meeting your practical needs, a mastectomy boutique shopping experience can be a welcoming one that helps you feel taken care of and understood when you need it most. What They Sell Some of the main items that these boutiques specialize in include post-surgical camisoles and bras, breast prostheses, and wigs. Most boutiques, however, expand beyond this and offer attractive clothing (that doesn’t look medical), as well as other support items....

Surgery Lumpectomy, which can be an option for some females who have breast cancer, is not a usual option for males. There is typically far less tissue in a male’s breast than a female’s breast, which means that a tumor of the same size spreads through more of the breast in a male than in a female. This makes a mastectomy (complete removal of the breast), a better option in some cases....

That’s the narrative line in Walter Isaacson’s new book, Kissinger: A Biography (893 pages. Simon & Schuster. $30). In Isaacson’s steady stream of ironies, Kissinger’s sheer brilliance-his gift for conceptualization, his intuitive understanding of power and his skill as a negotiator-is matched by compulsive egotism, sycophancy and duplicity. Isaacson, an assistant managing editor of Time magazine, was coauthor, with NEWSWEEK’S Evan Thomas, of an earlier book on postwar American statesmanship, “The Wise Men....

Of course, Tiger Woods joins the Masters field this year for the first time since 2015. That in itself will provide plenty of intrigue for the 2018 tournament. The 2017 event had a memorable finish; Sergio Garcia defeated Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff for the first major tournament victory in his career.

With his win at East Lake Golf Club to close out the season, Tiger felt it may have been the moment when he could seriously think about a return to the top. “It proved to me that I could win again,” Woods told a press conference Tuesday at August National, ahead of the 2019 Masters, the year’s first major. “I was close at times, I was close at Tampa (The Valspar Championship), I was close at The Open Championship, had the lead there, I was making a run at Brooksie (Koepka) at the PGA, just to clean up my rounds, maybe get a break here or there, I was finally hitting it again....

Hideki Matsuyama goes in as defending champion, but he has been suffering with neck and back injuries in recent weeks. And Tiger Woods – the five-time winner of this event – looks set to return to the scene of some of his greatest victories. Several of the entrants will, of course, be flying the flags of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. There are major winners among them, as well as those seeking one of golf’s big four trophies for the first time....

The cost of that viewing experience tends to be high: tickets to the Masters can cost as much as $4,000 on the resale market, according to Mike Hall of Golf Monthly. Yet, the price of food at the tournament stays reasonably low: The menu, marked by signature items like the pimento cheese sandwich and egg salad, features concessions that exceed no more than six dollars. It’s a departure from the status quo of other sporting events, where overpriced concessions eat away at consumers’ pockets....

But early last Monday morning, Chubais could not get in to see Yeltsin, even though he had a scheduled appointment. Other members of Yeltsin’s tight circle of advisers had schemed to keep him out, after orchestrating the ailing president’s most recent “there he goes again” moment. With Russia on the brink of yet another war in the northern Caucasus with Muslim separatists, Yeltsin had been persuaded to fire his inoffensive prime minister, Sergei Stepashin, after just three months in office....

While Merrily has gotten several makeovers and many productions in New York and across the country, Anyone Can Whistle has not yet achieved cult status. But on March 10, Ted Sperling with MasterVoices is mounting a concert version at Carnegie Hall featuring orchestrations by Don Walker. MasterVoices, one of New York’s musical treasures, has produced a range of rarely produced musical classics, including Knickerbocker Holiday, Lady in the Dark and Let ‘Em Eat Cake....

Duchene, who has long been on the trading block, was shipped to the Senators, while Ottawa sent forward Kyle Turris to the Nashville Predators. MORE: Winners, losers from the Matt Duchene blockbuster Speculation of a trade ramped up Sunday night when Duchene left the ice during the Avalanche’s game against the New York Islanders. The Avalanche acquire prospects Samuel Girard and Vladislav Kamenev from the Predators, prospect Shane Bowers from the Senators, goaltender Andrew Hammond from the Senators, Ottawa’s 2018 first round pick and 2019 third-round pick, and the Predators’ 2018 second-round pick....

During an appearance on former Trump administration official Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Gaetz said that in addition to many of his GOP colleagues opposing a Biden impeachment inquiry, they also would not support such an inquiry into Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The Florida lawmaker alleged that Mayorkas was “purposefully turning our border into a turnstile.” “So the War Room posse needs to be leveled with, that there are current members of the Republican majority, people who will be in the next Congress, who are arguing very, very fervently that they will oppose the use of the ‘I’ word, impeachment, in any context for any official in the Biden administration,” he said....

The new Packers coach was seen wheeling around OTAs on Tuesday, alternating back and forth between a golf cart and a scooter as he coached his players and spoke to reporters. LaFleur suffered a torn Achilles playing basketball last Wednesday and underwent surgery Sunday to repair the ruptured tendon. “I know I’m supposed to be off it for the next four weeks or so,” LaFleur told reporters. “Hopefully I’ll be back at least in a walking boot by training camp....

“I’m chuffed to bits to be joining the most delicious show on television,” Lucas said in a statement released to the press. “I can’t wait to break bread with Noel, Prue and Paul and meet the brilliant bakers.

This offseason has been all over the map for Atlanta and new GM Terry Fontenot. While it started looking like Atlanta had at least laid a groundwork – with an elite pass-catching tight end in Kyle Pitts, a top-flight cornerback in A.J. Terrell, and a quarterback in Matt Ryan – all of that has been blown up in the span of the past week. Deshaun Watson had reportedly narrowed his options down to the Saints and his hometown Falcons last week, before the Browns backed up the Brinks truck and bought themselves a new quarterback....

Indianapolis had a win-and-in scenario in Week 18 against the lowly Jaguars, who had already fired Urban Meyer and clinched the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. As such, the Colts were expected to easily win that contest and waltz into the postseason. Instead, they faltered. The team struggled all together and saw Carson Wentz complete just 17 of 29 passes for 185 yards, a touchdown and an interception in a crushing, 26-11 loss that brought the future of most of the Colts’ leadership into question....
