Convincing evidence of the profound power of movies is evident every day in Philadelphia.

 It turns out that North Korea isn’t just a nuclear threat. It’s also a cyberthreat, and in some ways, this may be more frightening. 

China is still heavily reliant on coal, which it has in plentiful supply, and it has tried to find steady sources of other fossil fuels.

In the summer of 2006 Italy defeated France in penalty kicks, after drawing 1-1 in regulation, to claim the World Cup title for the fourth time, becoming at the moment the only European country to achieve such record.

Marco Rubio is a dreamer. Not that his dreams will ever be of the United We Dream kind, though.

On his Oval Office report card, Barack Obama earned a massive fail on the immigration issue.

It’s unclear whether a deal will be reached to ensure that the young, unlawfully present immigrants known as “Dreamers” can stay in the country. What is sure is that, either way, Americans’ faith in their government will suffer another blow.

Everything seemed to be finally right after blowing out Panama in Orlando, 4-0. Team USA only needed a tie on the road against a weak Trinidad and Tobago team that had won one of nine qualifying games in the final six-team tournament to secure at least a wild card spot for Russia 2018.

The August arrest of Brandon Templin for throwing eggs on the statute of Frank Rizzo dispelled a myth that is comforting for some: opposition to that monument honoring Philadelphia’s controversial former mayor is just a ‘black thing.’

If Donald Trump were a clown, he would be a rather creepy and unfunny one. Just thinking that this buffoon has his finger on the nuclear trigger, is enough to give the country –the world- a grave case of the heebie-jeebies.

When it comes to race, conservatives will never ace the quiz.

It stands to reason that this bunch would be slow to understand a subject that they usually downplay, dismiss or deny. Those on the right -- including many Republicans and most Trump voters -- often pretend to be colorblind in order to seem enlightened. Ironically, the opposite is true.

Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their pioneering work in figuring out how the body’s sleep/wake rhythms regulate critical functions like sleep, hormone levels, blood pressure and body temperature.

The confrontation between the United States and North Korea is in a more dangerous zone than at any point in decades. Each side has announced tough positions, issued threats, and underscored that its positions are non-negotiable. Each side is now boxed in, with little room to maneuver. How to get off this perilous path?
