“I was angry at Kerry, not at Winston,” Kissinger told NEWSWEEK. “Winston is my friend.” Still, there are growing signs–and even more cocktail-party talk– of a cooling between Kissinger and some of his adopted family of former advisers. As nationalsecurity adviser and secretary of state, Kissinger nurtured a remarkable succession of proteges who went on to become leading foreign-policy figures in both parties and every administration since then. They include Bush’s NSC adviser Brent Scowcroft, Acting Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger and top Clinton adviser Anthony Lake....

Responding to a question from BCCI’s official Twitter handle, KL Rahul, through a video, said that the hundred against England is a lot memorable since India went on to win that game. KL Rahul was one of India’s most stylish batsmen throughout 2016, having made his Indian cricket team debut after a fantastic season of the IPL with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Mangalore-born cricketer endured a woeful debut T20I match, getting out for a first-ball duck in his maiden outing for India, against Zimbabwe in June 2016....

According to multiple reports, including the New York Times and The San Francisco Chronicle, the Golden State sharp shooter agreed to a 5-year, $190 million deal with the team Sunday. The 29-year-old star has been planning to stay with the organization but was ready to explore other options if Golden State did not offer him a max contract. Thompson was reportedly open to meeting with other teams, including the Lakers and Clippers....

Coach Steve Kerr told reporters ahead of the game that Thompson’s knee is “inflamed enough where it doesn’t make sense to play him”, as the Warriors bid to avoid a third straight loss. Alfonzo McKinnie will start in place of the five-time All Star, who will be missing only his second game of the season, having also missed the other match against the 76ers in which his side were beaten last month....

The Cardinals took a big swing when they hired Kliff Kingsbury as their next head coach. Certainly, such a swing would allow for a little bit of faith, some patience — and a nice chunk of change. Kingsbury took the Cardinals job after spurning USC in 2019. He made the jump to NFL head coach despite never serving as much as an assistant role in the league. Some promising early returns and the development of Kyler Murray earned him a contract extension prior to the start of the 2022 season....

John Brooks is expected to captain a three-man backline, with Matt Besler on the left and Omar Gonzalez on the right. Jermaine Jones has won his fitness battle and beat out Sacha Kljestan for the starting nod alongside U.S. captain Michael Bradley in central midfield. The switch from the U.S. team’s more standard four-man defense to a standard three-man defense can certainly be seen as a gamble, but it could help the Americans better cope with Mexico’s attack, which is led by striker Javier Hernandez, who Brooks has experience playing against....

Both Liverpool goals came at the end of the first half, Roberto Firmino ending a superb move with a close range tap-in after 41 minutes before Daniel Sturridge made it 2-0 with a header from a Jordan Ibe free kick. Bournemouth replied in stoppage time when Josh King half-volleyed in from the edge of the box. Before the kickoff flowers were laid on the pitch in memory of the Liverpool 96 fans who died at Hillsborough in April 1989 with the club’s anthem “You’ll Never Walk Alone” played as the short ceremony took place....

Salah, 26, is yet to hit his form of last season, beginning the campaign with just three goals in eight games. The Egypt international was substituted during the second half of Liverpool’s draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where Daniel Sturridge scored a stunning late equaliser. Speaking ahead of his team’s Champions League clash against Napoli on Wednesday, Klopp said Salah needed to remain calm over his form. “It is about your confidence....

Knee replacement implants are designs that use a metal shell that covers the ends of the thigh bone (the femur) and the top of the shin bone (the tibia) with a plastic insert placed between. It is important that the metal shell closely replicates the normal anatomy of the knee joint. Implants that are too thick or not properly sized to the patient can cause limitations in joint mobility and lead to stiffness after the knee replacement....

Dolan, who has used the kazoo as a tool for charity, performed on Good Day New York with his band, JD & The Straight Shot. In this performance, Dolan played his role as lead singer and belted out music. But it was Dolan’s rendition of the kazoo that stole the show.

The Knicks hope this resilient performance against the Lakers is a turning point in their trying season. The Lakers just hope LeBron James feels better very soon. Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 22 points, Trey Burke added 16 and the Knicks snapped their eight-game losing streak with a 119-112 victory over Los Angeles on Friday night. Emmanuel Mudiay had 15 points and seven rebounds for the Knicks, who blew an early 17-point lead before rallying from a six-point deficit in the fourth quarter....

He’s averaging more than 20 points per game, along with 7.1 rebounds and 1.5 blocks. So, we know he’s good on the basketball court, but how would he be as a detective? Would that 7-3 height advantage help out at all? One animator wondered such things and created a cartoon called “Detective Kristaps” to show the results. What we got was a hilarious short mini-film with all sorts of unexpected turns....

Messi, Ronaldo & the Golden Shoe leaders The Everton manager, who has had spells as a player and assistant manager at Camp Nou, has regularly been linked to Barca, with Luis Enrique’s contract due to expire at the end of the season. De Boer knows Koeman well, having featured with him for Netherlands and played for the club while Koeman was number two to Louis van Gaal. Koeman again insisted last week there was “nothing” in the latest round of speculation, which had been started by his former agent and De Boer’s current representative Guido Albers, who claimed the former Southampton boss was on Barca’s shortlist....
