The pace isn’t likely to slow down. After all, he’s emerged as a go-to litigator whenever some high-profile business brawl calls for some lawyerly help. In the three years since he left prestigious Cravath, Swaine & Moore in New York to start his own firm, his name has shown up in more places than the “Love Bug” computer virus. Boies not only does Windows, bluejeans and pricey art, but he and his partners have played a range of legal roles in everything from the big vitamin price-fixing case of last year to the merger of AOL-Time Warner to helping tech companies go public....

Nelson died of natural causes two years later–but police believe that at least five other geriatric San Franciscans weren’t so lucky. Officials say they were murdered by Bufford, her mother, Mary Steiner, and her longtime boyfriend, George Lama, in a lethal, decade-long variation on a ““sweetheart scam.’’ Prosecutors say that after romancing their victims, all lonely widowers, Bufford and her mother would cajole them into handing over cars, savings and homes....

The inside story of the case, as reconstructed by NEWSWEEK, goes back nine months and involves a delicate and highly unusual dance between Kaczynski’s brother and the FBI. Despite the fact that he and Ted had not seen each other in six years, David Kaczynski was tormented by the excruciating decision to turn his brother in. As NEWSWEEK sources told it, David began to suspect that his brother might be the Unabomer as early as July 1995....

Moscow has a history of making enemies in Chechnya. The first time Russian tanks rumbled into the separatist republic, in 1994, they were forced to withdraw ingloriously 21 months later. As a face-saving measure, the two sides agreed to defer a decision on Chechen independence for five years. But after recent incursions into neighboring Dagestan, led by Islamic radicals in Chechnya, as well as four mysterious bombings of Russian apartment buildings, Moscow’s frustrated leaders lashed out....

But while the fight to establish the holiday is done, the fight for how to commemorate Juneteenth has just begun, requiring Black Americans to walk an all-too-familiar tightrope between erasure on one side and appropriation on the other. Whether it’s the meaning of a holiday or the mislabeling of critical race theory, conflicts over who gets to tell our national story reflect a basic truth: once we concede the role of race in our country and our institutions, we might actually be forced to change those institutions—and empower others to lead them....

JOHN 1:1 WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows, which came already installed in the computer I bought last month, may not be the best computer program in history, but it undoubtedly sets the record for comprehensiveness. It comes with four manuals totaling well over 1,300 pages, but that’s just the start of the literary output devoted to it, which includes more than a dozen books and a magazine. That doesn’t even count all the verbiage it generates internally in its frantic attempts to explain itself to the user....

You can do your squats for up to 5 minutes, though this might make you feel sore. The longer you do the squats, the more stretched the fabric will be. If your jeans don’t feel comfortable, you may want to try heating them up for a better stretch. Your bed is likely a cleaner space than your floor, so you may want to use it if it’s close enough to an electrical socket....

Sand will bounce around when it hits objects, so you should still try to cover as much of your skin and face as possible. If you cannot get to shelter, crouch down. It minimizes the chance you’ll get hit by something flying. Do not lie in a ditch, as flash flooding may occur even if no rain is falling where you are. In the actual dust cloud, rain generally dries up before it reaches the ground, but it may be raining nearby, and ditches, arroyos, and other low-lying areas can quickly flood....

You can sew the slit closed if you want to, but it’s not a necessary step before you wear your clothes.

PTSD generally occurs when the event that you experience is frightening and life-threatening. The longer you are exposed to the trauma, the more likely you are to develop PTSD.

To do this, simply take your right lace and cross it over the left lace. Wrap it around the left lace once and pull tight. You’re done! Resist the urge to pull the knot tight at this point — if you do, you’ll just be left with an ordinary shoelace knot. If you really don’t want your laces to come undone, try soaking the knot in water before pulling it tight....

Do this outside or on a tile or laminated floor that’s easy to clean. Both long and shorthaired dogs benefit from daily brushing. Over-bathing can actually make dandruff worse, as it will dry out your dog’s skin. Stick to bathing your dog no more than once a week to help reduce dandruff. For best results, go for a lotion containing colloidal oatmeal. Make sure to massage the lotion completely into your dog’s skin so they do not lick it off and ingest it....

Baby shampoos and soaps are usually more mild than normal ones. Gentle soaps are better than natural antibacterial products like tea tree oil, which may trigger eczema flareups. Avoid bath additives that will further dehydrate your infant’s skin, like Epsom salts. An oatmeal bath with natural colloidal oatmeal, or Aveeno oatmeal bath packets, can also help. Always use a clean towel to avoid infection. Always test new moisturizer on a small patch of your child’s skin to make sure they aren’t allergic before you use it all over....

You can wait a few weeks after the flower buds open to enjoy them in your garden, but by the time you trim them, the oils won’t be as strong. If you’re using the lavender to make essential oil, it’s better to trim them early. Avoid using craft scissors to trim lavender. They don’t make a clean enough cut. Bypass pruners are your best option. These are spring-loaded with two curved blades....

If you have become detached from your purpose, sit down and reevaluate the principles, people, and causes that drive your life. Make a point to fill your day with activities that bring meaning to your existence. If they don’t, toss them or delegate them.
