Like other narrative forms, history must have its stars and supporting players. Some years need no introduction, like 1492 or 1776. The War of 1812, even if most Americans have forgotten why it was fought, nevertheless guarantees immortality to its namesake year. Amid the drab procession of centuries constituting the Middle Ages, 1066 stands out for the Norman conquest of England, an event that combines the two star qualities of consequentiality and contingency....
Come September 22nd and India will become the fourth team (after England, Australia & West Indies) to play 500 test matches. The journey which began in 1932 at Lords, the Mecca of Cricket; has been nothing short of phenomenal. Being the sixth team to be given test status in 1932, the road ahead was tough for Team India. The fact that it took close to 20 years for the team to register their first test victory tells a story in itself....

While an unforgettable moment for millions of people, as the years pass, the population of those too young to remember that fateful Tuesday morning grows....

Surveillance footage obtained by WPTV, a south Florida station, showed Journee Nelson and her mother Danielle Mobley loading groceries into her car at a West Palm Beach supermarket on November 2 when 29-year-old Demetrius Jackson ran up and attacked Mobley. He appeared to knock her to the ground, where a struggle for the purse ensued, as seen in the video. But the young girl ran out of the car’s passenger seat and fought back, punching him several times....
Nicolina Pasquale was walking her great uncle’s pet near her home in Worcester, Massachusetts, when the incident occurred. At one point during the walk, the pit bull approached Pasquale and the family dog—an eight-year-old Bichon Frise/Shih Tzu mix called Peaches. “We were like right there, in front of the hills, I told the dog to come,” Pasquale told Spectrum News 1. “And then she wasn’t moving. So I looked back and saw a pit bull charging....
Admittedly not speaking his native tongue, Mourinho stumbled over his words – or letters, rather – when attempting to use a metaphor to praise his team’s attitude after Sunday’s 3-1 win over Middlesbrough. The victory ended a week in which United played three times, suffering elimination from the FA Cup but progressing to the Europa League quarter-finals. Allegri: Dybala injury not serious And Mourinho, having made sweeping changes to his starting XI, may have gotten carried away with an elaborate attempt to display his pleasure at the result, seemingly forgetting the order of the alphabet....

Certainly Baker takes more chances. His much-praised first novel “The Mezzanine” (1988) was a microscopically digressive account of buying shoelaces; “Room Temperature” (1990) was about feeding a baby. “I have an almost self-destructive desire to be original,” he says; with “U and I” he’s gotten away with it again. This booklength essay pitilessly records its author’s twinges of envy and mines his own inner life to examine the psychological minutiae of reading, writing and remembering....
But the industry’s response to the attacks went well beyond boosting security measures. Cruises were soon available at more “drive-up” domestic ports–from Galveston, Texas, to Portland, Maine–so travelers who wanted to avoid flying could drive directly to the cruise ship. Cruise-line operators also began offering deep discounts while maintaining–or even increasing–their commissions to travel agents who booked passengers onto their lines. The work paid off. Record numbers of Americans booked cruises during the past year and cruise companies are reporting strong earnings, in spite of the sluggish U....
