Drazan lost by just over three points. Democratic nominee Tina Kotek won with only 47 percent of the vote. Neither candidate received 50 percent because there was a strong independent candidate, Betsy Johnson, who polled at double digits at certain points in the race, and ultimately received 8.6 percent of the vote. The conventional wisdom was that Johnson pulled voted solely from Kotek because Johnson was a former Democratic state senator....

They say hindsight is 20/20. Djokovic repeated last year’s Wimbledon triumph in another instant classic. And looking back at Sunday’s sequel to 2014’s five-set masterpiece on Centre Court — after which the Djokovic-Federer matchup stood tied at 20-20 — a sports story as old as sports crystallizes: a begrudging passing of the torch from arguably the game’s greatest ever to the game’s greatest now.

Earth to Howard: E-mail home. You’ve gone utterly, completely, totally mad. First, I must confess that I am opposed to Starbuckification-the seemingly relentless march of chain stores that have put Mom and Pop out of business, turned New York City into a soulless Gaphattan and transformed our nation’s landscape into one transcontinental strip mall. No, I wasn’t out there on the barricades in Seattle, hurling chairs through windows or chaining myself to a 14-year-old girl with purple hair-hey, I’m a passionless Yuppie, after all....

A successful FWB requires that all parties involved take frequent stock of their emotions, needs, and expectations. While some folks can talk daily without getting emotionally attached, other people may find it hard not to become attached unless they minimize interactions. Is it bad if you get attached? Not necessarily: there are plenty of couples who go from a no-strings-attached relationship to a committed romance.

By most accounts, patients are satisfied. In 35 years, Di Bella has used his “multiple therapy” treatment on roughly 10,000 cancer sufferers. His Web site displays their testimonials. Claudio of Turin thanks the doctor for providing hope in his fight against throat cancer; Marzia of Milan writes of the courage and renewed hope the doctor has given her mother in her struggle against lymphoma.

“We have been talking for some time with different providers and looking at different options,” Kasten said Monday (via the Orange County Register). “Surely we will be expanding netting. I don’t know yet the final configuration. Obviously, there are some different choices to be made and different products which each come with their own set of challenges.” Kasten said the internal discussions about fan protection have been ongoing since last year (fan Linda Goldbloom, 79, died four days after being struck in August 2018 by a foul ball at Dodger Stadium)....

The frantic coverage is a given. But will the Edwards endorsement actually change anything? It’s unlikely–and the reason is timing. If the former North Carolina senator had taken a real risk and sided with the Illinois senator back when someone not named “Barack Obama” had even the remotest chance of clinching the nomination–say, before Super Tuesday, or Ohio, or even Indiana–he might have helped his blue-collar base overcome its suspicions, vote for his chosen candidate and bring this interminable battle to an end....
