Naturally, the main members of the gang get the most attention. Hence, players know almost everything about characters like Dutch, Arthur, John, and Hosea. However, despite being around for a long time, Bill does not get as much attention as he deserves. Rockstar Games could rectify this through a Red Dead Redemption remake that expands on Bill’s character a little more.

Illusion of Gaia arrived on the Super Famicom (SNES) in November of 1993, right in the middle of a number of huge releases. Dragon Quest 5 and Final Fantasy 5 had shipped the year prior, to critical acclaim and multi-million unit sales. Secret of Mana’s successful launch months before Illusion of Gaia’s release showed that Action RPGs had appeal. With Final Fantasy 6 already release looming in Japan, and so many great SNES RPGs available, Illusion of Gaia had a tight window to impress....

But on Tuesday, pictures of some of the meals that the Athletics organization served its minor leaguers were leaked. Needless to say, they weren’t pretty. FAGAN: These stars lead the Cy Young, MVP and Rookie of the Year races As shared by the Advocates for Minor Leaguers Twitter account, the A’s meals were a bit lacking. The A’s apparently agreed with the assessment. In a quote tweet of the picture, A’s team president Dave Kaval called the meals “totally unacceptable” and confirmed that the organization had cut ties with the third-party vendor weeks before....

Anyone who doubts this last proposition should examine the farm-subsidy programs, which are the classic example of how unnecessary spending survives. It is a parable for our larger budget predicament. Every year the government sends out checks to about 700,000 to 900,000 farmers. Since 1978, federal outlays to support farmers’ incomes have exceeded $300 billion. How large is that? Well, the publicly held federal debt (the result of past budget deficits) is about $3....

My surgeon, in customary manner, breezes into the room. She is going away for the weekend but has stopped in to see me, as promised. After checking the fluid levels, she announces that the tubes can come out. “Yes,” I tell her, “the resident said he’ll do it later in the day.” “Well, I can do it now,” she offers. I am happy to see the drains go, but not prepared for what she says next....

But Franks liked the idea that bringing a pool reporter along on his seven-hour foray would help shine the spotlight on the troops in the field. He takes every chance to deflect attention toward them. When a soldier asked to have a picture taken with the general, Franks replied: “Why would anyone want a picture of me? I’m an old ugly son-of-a-(expletive),” reported John Broder of The New York Times, the chosen reporter who was the eyes and ears for the rest of the press corps back at Central Command....

The team looked at every known aspect of the probe’s design but just couldn’t find anything that would explain the deceleration. Things really got weird when they looked at Pioneer 11, a sister ship headed in the opposite direction, and then at the Ulysses probe, currently circling the sun. They, too, seemed to be experiencing unexplained tug in the direction of the sun. Eventually Anderson’s team had to face an unsettling possibility: with no obvious cause in sight, possible explanations dwindled to a fundamental problem with our understanding of gravity or time....

This week there will be no doubt which side of the Atlantic Garcia hails from. He will tee up for Europe against a Woods-led U.S. squad in what has become golf’s greatest showdown, the biennial Ryder Cup. While America boasts the world’s most successful golfers, Europe has won the last two Cups and five of the last seven (this one will be played outside Boston). But the stalwarts of those European triumphs–Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer–are gone from the team, and Europe’s elite dozen will feature seven Ryder Cup rookies....

John F. Kennedy had a different view of the office because he had a different view of the presidency and was temperamentally unsuited to orderly chains of command. He wanted his own mandarin, an intellectual who knew something of the world and of government as well, the sort of man who could discipline other men and with whom you didn’t have to finish every damned sentence you started because you spoke the same language....

But Escalante had a secret that sets him apart from his fellow veterans–he joined the Army using a fake green card he bought on the streets of Seattle for $50. Now the 19-year-old, just 4 when his parents illegally entered the United States from Mexico, faces discharge from the Army and deportation from the country for which he went to war. His family may also be deported. “It’s a loyalty issue,” says a senior Army officer familiar with the case....

“Pigs in Heaven” is full of miracles, especially the kind that start out-like Turtle’s life-as disasters. At the beginning of the novel, Turtle and Taylor are on a trip to the Hoover Dam, where Turtle is the only person to see a man fall over the side. Taylor finally persuades someone to believe her daughter, and the rescue makes Turtle a heroine. But becoming a heroine, which culminates in an appearance on “Oprah,” engenders a new disaster....

Wimbledon is played on Grass, French Open on Clay, and the US Open and the Australian Open are played on Hard Courts.

The trouble is, many of Buchanan’s most ardent fans in Iowa define “New World Order” somewhat more juicily. “It’s the international conspiracy,” said Ralph Clements, who cheered Buchanan in Waterloo. “It’s the bankers who want to establish a one-world government.” (It’s also the title of a ridiculous book by the tele-mongerer Pat Robertson rehearsing the greatest hits of modern paranoia.) Clements is, in some ways, Buchanan’s dream supporter: a retired blue-collar escapee from the Democratic Party....

The A Quite Place prequel, based on an idea from actor John Krasinski, is set before the events of the first two films in the series. Both films take place in a world that has been overrun with deadly monsters who hunt humans based on sound, which forces everyone to remain as silent as possible at all times.
