85 Percent Of Americans Don T Think Schools Should Reopen Without More Coronavirus Testing Poll Says

“Some of you might start to think about school openings,” Trump said during a conference call with Vice President Mike Pence and state leaders Monday, according to audio obtained by The New York Times. “I think it’s something, Mike, they can seriously consider and maybe get going on it.” During a press briefing at the White House later that day, Trump added that “young people seem to do very well,” in comparison with others who contracted the virus and said “I think it would be a good thing” if schools reopened before the current academic year concluded....

9 Best Bars In Berlin

View this list in Google Maps. Ä One of the first bars for the hipster set on the now-über-hip Weser Strasse in Neukölln, you can always count on candlelit Ä to deliver.

A Free And Easy Guide To The Web

A Yahoo? Welcome to one of the most popular destinations on the Web. Like many whimsically named creations of the Internet, Yahoo is an acronym that sounds retrofitted – it stands for ““Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle.’’ Whatever that means, Yahoo is basically a catalog of other Web home pages organized by subject, a kind of Yellow Pages for the Internet. Click on ““Entertainment,’’ and Yahoo will retrieve headings from ““Automobiles’’ to ““Comics’’ to ““Paranormal Phenomena....

A Bagpiper S March To Ground Zero

But they converged on Manhattan, where the FDNY’s Pipes & Drums set began their procession. The bagpipers were everywhere on this thin island, flanking Central Park on both sides, and crawling down the edges of both rivers. If you had a window open anywhere in Manhattan early this morning, you could probably hear the bagpipes and the dirgeful drums. That helps to explain the crowd that followed them. At 6 a....

A Billy Less Bathgate

In Robert Benton’s handsome, well-appointed Billy Bathgate, adapted by playwright Tom Stoppard, all the sure-fire elements are in place … and nothing ignites. Stoppard’s screenplay manages to be faithful to the book–it even starts with the tugboat scene in which Dutch (Dustin Hoffman) prepares to murder his once trusted henchman Bo Weinberg (Bruce Willis), then ducks back in time to show us how Billy (Loren Dean) first captured the attention of his mobster idol....

A Bit Of Optimism Is Ok

Whom to credit for the new optimism? The spinmeisters would claim Chancellor Gerhard Schroder and his wide-ranging package of labor and entitlement reforms, called Agenda 2010. The Bundestag is expected to pass the measures this week. And last week Berlin’s ruling and opposition pols agreed to a long-overdue reform of the country’s out-of-control public health-care system. With an energizing 16 billion euro income-tax cut planned for January, it looks as though Germany is the sick man of Europe no more....

A Buddha Busts Out

A murmur rose as the six-foot Karmapa, dressed in maroon and saffron robes and shadowed by Indian security guards, strode into the hall and sat on a downy, makeshift throne. First the Karmapa politely thanked the few Westerners in the audience for their interest and help in Tibetan affairs. Then he turned to the schoolgirls, many of whom had fled Tibet like him. “Don’t forget your… homeland,” he instructed them in a voice sure and serene beyond its years....

A Call For Chinese Walls

Remember that book “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus”? Well, business is from Saturn, journalism is from Jupiter As the media monopoly grows, the culture clash between the two is becoming a source of major discomfort. Yes, some business executives know that they must stress the independence of news (Eisner assured ABC News employees that he wouldn’t tamper with their big shows). And some journalists, once middle-class, are now well acquainted with real money (ABC workers saw the value of their company stock increase by 20 percent in one day last week)....

A Case Of Political Flu

He didn’t. Between the second course (raw salmon with caviar) and the third (grilled beef with peppery sauce), the president pushed back his chair and fainted. His chin slumped to his chest, his body reeled to his left, and he vomited onto the pants of his host, Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa. Horrified, Barbara Bush leaped to her feet and held a napkin to her husband’s mouth, and a Secret Service man vaulted over the table to catch the president before he tumbled....

A Championship Side In Waiting Inside West Brom S Meltdown

With 10 matches left to play, six points separate Bournemouth in 11th and Stoke City in 19th. Almost every side in the bottom half has enjoyed a resurgence at one point or another, only to be dragged back into the mire as soon as their guard is down. Every side, that is, except for West Brom. The Baggies kicked off the season showcasing all the attributes that had made them sure bets to stay up since Tony Pulis’ arrival....

A Christian Nationalist Court Is Strangling Us Opinion

It’s no surprise that Americans are losing faith in the court as an institution. A recent survey from Gallup shows that the percentage of Americans who have confidence in the Supreme Court has collapsed to an all-time low of 25 percent, a drop of 11 points from just a year ago and five points lower than the previous record. What is driving this catastrophic loss of trust in the court?...

A Close Out Sale On Tonsillectomies

The ruling on self-referral is sure to infuriate critics. Studies suggest that when physicians invest in laboratories and X-ray centers, their patients receive more tests and pay higher prices. Last December, an AMA advisory council condemned self-referral as a conflict of interest and urged physicians to abstain. But the association’s policymaking House of Delegates ignored that advice last week, reasoning that if a doctor discloses his commercial interests, patients will weigh his advice accordingly....

A Crushing Wave Of Wood

To most people outside College Station, the giant bonfire sounded like a reckless tradition–and a wasteful way to die. But to the fiercely loyal students and the school’s alumni, building the bonfire was an act of faith. For 90 years, after all, Aggies have ignited the bonfire as a symbol of solidarity against their rivals at the University of Texas before their annual football game. Three times, the last in 1956, Texas students allegedly retaliated by trying to firebomb the structure....

A Custody Battle Over Old Bones

The 1906 Antiquities Act expressly forbids taking ancient artifacts from reservations. Tribal Chairman Gregg Bourland says the Sioux want to display a cast of Sue’s skeleton at a local museum and donate the bones to a college. But an attorney for the fossil hunters says the act does not cover prehistoric fossils like Sue. And although Sue was on Indian trust land, he argues, it was trust land “deeded” to a private individual....

A Deal With The Devil

A big win for Washington–but was it based on a dirty deal? The Justice Department is now scrambling to answer charges that, in its zeal to get Noriega, the U.S. government made a bargain with the Call drug cartel. Noriega’s lawyers claim the cartel paid Bilonick $1.2 million to testify against Noriega; in return, the Feds agreed to get the prison sentence of a top cartel leader reduced. The Department of Justice is denying any wrongdoing, but NEWSWEEK has seen secret documents and letters between a cartel lawyer and a federal prosecutor that appear to support Noriega’s claims....
