Europe on the other hand, now champions the values of post-nationalism, universalism, counter-particularity and secularism. This new philosophical packaging of Europeanism is preached both domestically and abroad. The European Union even established an office called “Promoting our European way of life,” and has been spending millions of Euros to spread Europeanism to the world. The shift from the classic European liberalism of the late 19th century to that of today is, to a large extent, a reaction to the atrocities of 20th-century European wars....

The shock rocker—real name Brian Warner—filed a defamation lawsuit against the Westworld actress earlier this month. The actress, 34, has now responded to the situation and said she is “not scared” of the lawsuit. “I can’t obviously speak about any of the specific allegations of the lawsuit, but I’m not scared,” Wood said during an appearance on The View. “I am sad, because this is how it works.

The fight was supposed to “unify” the heavyweight championship. Holyfield is recognized by the WBA and IBF, Lewis by the WBC. No sense spelling out these acronymic idiocies, which have no reason for existing aside from the money they skim off every fight they “sanction.” The judges reached an ecumenical decision, one for each fighter, one for a draw. The IBF judge, Eugenia Williams, voted for its champ, Holyfield, even awarding him the fifth round, clearly Lewis’s biggest....

The promotional video for Morgan’s interview with Trump quickly raised questions about whether the walkout was genuine and Trump issued a statement accusing Morgan of attempting “to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview with me.” “He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour,” Trump’s statement said.

These examples tell us something about Gore. But they may also tell us something about the art of the campaign. Exaggerations, and sometimes outright fabrications, are a standard fixture of most stump speeches. The line between parody and prevarication, between tall tales and small lies, is often so jagged that even close aides don’t know if the candidate has it right or not. Those of us who traveled last winter with Bill Bradley heard him tell again and again the story of Joe Pell....

Kuznetsov, one of the top prospects playing outside North American and the Caps' first-round draft pick in 2010, tweeted on Monday that he's leaving Russia for the NHL.
