President Dwight Eisenhower reportedly played for Class D Junction City in 1911 and used a false name to maintain eligibility for collegiate athletics.

While swapping stories at the Polo Grounds with Giants manager Mel Ott and Braves manager Bob Coleman on June 19, 1945, Ott asked Eisenhower if he had played professional baseball....

It may seem strange now given how well we know Doncic has turned out to be, but leading into the 2018 draft there were questions surrounding how good he might actually be in the NBA, and whether his ceiling was more Hedo Turkoglu than franchise-altering player. Obviously, Young has also gone on to do wonderful things with the Atlanta Hawks, but Doncic is considered a generational player. With the Suns and Mavs now set to face each other in the Western Conference Semifinals, it’s time to revisit the 2018 NBA Draft and try to figure out if the Suns made the right choice in selecting Ayton over Doncic....

NASA and Lockheed have collaborated successfully on several Mars missions. Their reputation was tarnished last fall when a math error caused the $125 million Climate Orbiter to burn up in the Martian atmosphere.

Deductible and coinsurance are types of health insurance cost-sharing; you pay part of the cost of your health care, and your health plan pays part of the cost of your care. They differ in how they work, how much you have to pay, and when you have to pay it. What’s a Deductible? A deductible is a fixed amount you pay each year before your health insurance kicks in fully (in the case of Medicare Part A—for inpatient care—the deductible applies to “benefit periods” rather than the calendar year)....

A central argument against the Obama administration’s nuclear diplomacy with Iran was the notion that Washington shouldn’t be talking with the Iranians in the first place....

Everyone says that Howard Dean has pulled away from the pack because of his position on the war in Iraq. Of course that means everyone is ignoring everything else Dean and his campaign have achieved. But Dean’s foreign policy remains the single biggest defining factor in the Democratic race so far. In fact, he’s done almost as much to define the rest of the field as George W. Bush. As Bush’s polls rise in the wake of Saddam’s arrest, and Dean comes under new fire, it’s worth taking another look at the leading Democrats’ foreign policy....
