The Portuguese coach claimed that City players just needed “a little bit of wind and they fall”, clarifying his remark after initially saying that “one thing that I don’t like a lot is that they lose their balance very easily”. But, ironically enough, referee Michael Oliver’s decision to book Ander Herrera for going down too easily under a Nicolas Otamendi challenge in the second half gave United their second yellow card of the season — after Antonio Valencia against Tottenham in October — for such unsporting behaviour....

Naltrexone is nothing new. Researchers learned 20 years ago that it could rob drugs like heroin and morphine of their pleasurable effects, by covering the receptors they attach to in the nervous system. The DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Co. started marketing the drug as Trexan in 1984, after studies showed it could help heroin addicts avoid relapse once they had been through withdrawal. Since then, however, several trials have shown that problem drinkers have just as much to gain from the treatment....

There’s a new kind of homelessness in the city, and a new kind of hunger, and a new kind of need and humiliation, but it has managed to stay as invisible as those sleepers were by sunup. “What we’re seeing are many more working families on the brink of eviction,” says Mary Brosnahan, who runs the Coalition for the Homeless. “They fall behind on the rent, and that’s it, they’re on the street....

The man behind the remarks, Miloon Kothari, was one of three individuals appointed to the Navi Pillay-led open-ended ‘Commission of Inquiry’ against Israel last year. Created purportedly in the wake of the 2021 conflict between Hamas and Israel, to investigate supposed “underlying root causes” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the resolution establishing the commission did not even mention Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror group sworn to Israel’s destruction, which fired almost 4,500 rockets at Israeli civilians....

Now, for Nintendo Switch players looking forward to hearing about Nintendo’s future lineup of Switch games, the company still hasn’t announced when the next Direct presentation will occur. Of course, given the wide amount of new games releasing in the next months due to the recent launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, the big question that Nintendo fans may have is what’s next for the Switch, and when will they hear more about its upcoming lineup of games?...

Yippies, junkies and AIDS activists have been touting ibogaine for years (Hunter Thompson joked that the drug might account for Edmund Muskie’s disastrous performance in the 1972 Democratic primaries). But only recently have scientists shown any interest. Howard Lotsof, the New York entrepreneur who hopes to market, the compound under the brand name Endabuse, stumbled onto it in 1962, when he was addicted to heroin and taking hallucinogens for fun....

That Karat—the feisty, British-educated 59-year-old general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), or CPI-M—has come to dominate New Delhi’s agenda is remarkable, given that he has little national following, has never held elected public office and holds ideas that were already out of date 15 years ago, when most communist systems came crashing down. India’s leftists, moreover, are widely reviled for their obstructionism on the national level and their violent misrule in West Bengal, the CPI-M’s power base....

The score came from the 3-yard line. Purdy took a shotgun snap and faked a handoff to Christian McCaffrey. Fullback Kyle Juzszcyk broke open on a flat route while that was happening, and Purdy quickly fired it to him. Juzszcyk took it from there, running it in for the score. Indeed, the touchdown wasn’t much to marvel at, but it was more than just the first highlight on Purdy’s career reel....

During her White House years, Chelsea Clinton has quietly blossomed into a confident and articulate young woman–rather an extraordinary achievement given the unhappy controversies dogging her parents. One reason may be the support she has inside the White House and the life she has carved for herself outside it. An only child, Chelsea has been virtually adopted as a younger sister by a handful of Hillary’s thirtysomething staffers. While Amy Carter had to run a press gauntlet to get to grade school, Chelsea is driven in an unmarked car to Washington’s exclusive Sidwell Friends, where teachers and classmates have fiercely guarded her privacy....

It was a deft move, directed less against Diller than the man allegedly behind him. John Malone, head of mighty Tele-Communications, Inc., the nation’s biggest cable company, controls a big chunk of Diller’s QVC Home Shopping Network and is partly bankrolling his bid for Paramount. As the struggle for the studio intensified last week, Malone’s top aides huddled with Diller in the background, scripting key plays. Though not as rich as Redstone, Malone has grown almost invisibly to become one of the most powerful and hated men in American business....

San Francisco’s new library has opened in the midst of a coast-to-coast library boom. Cities are racing to rewire and even rethink their libraries, rounding up all the new tools they can afford to get ready for a new millennium. Even libraries in struggling communities are getting on board: last week Microsoft chairman Bill Gates unveiled a $10.5 million program called Libraries Online!, aimed at helping 41 North American libraries expand their electronic services....

Montesinos’s mistake was bugging his own office. A hidden camera caught him giving $15,000 to an opposition lawmaker. The Moralizing Front–one of whose leaders is Fujimori’s embittered ex-wife–got hold of the videotape and released it two weeks ago. Already under fire for apparently rigging last spring’s presidential election, Fujimori abruptly announced he would dismantle the SIN, resign his own office and call elections “as soon as possible.” Then the transition came to a jarring halt....

The weather event marked the first time that the National Weather Service office in New York has issued a flash flood emergency alert in the area, and the city entered a state of emergency early Thursday morning. The city’s infrastructure was not equipped to handle the severe weather: over the course of the storm, New York’s subway stations turned into rapids, cars began to float, and apartment buildings filled with water....
