Mourinho has gushed about McTominay regularly in recent weeks, hailing him as a “genius” and “fundamental” following their home win over Huddersfield at the start of February. Unsurprisingly encouraged by his development, he also revealed just how the 21-year-old gained his trust to earn a promotion into United’s senior plans. “I think I don’t give trust for free,” Mourinho stated. “I think it’s the other way round, I don’t think it’s about the manager to trust the player, it’s the player to make the manager trust him, is as simple as that....

Ahead of Sunday night’s fireball of an episode on “Game of Thrones,” we were made aware Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was going to make an appearance. He said as much during an interview at the Kentucky Derby, so NFL fans were on the lookout for Rodgers all episode. The problem is that a lot of people in this show apparently look like Aaron Rodgers. MORE: Updated NFL Power Rankings after the NFL Draft...

““Pierre is a sort of naif,’’ says a former colleague at ABC News. Salinger retired in 1993. After a few years with a public-relations firm, he was at loose ends last September, when ““Prime Time Live’’ senior producer Ira Rosen proposed bringing him back to the network as a consultant on terrorism. But the ABC brass wouldn’t have him. ““Pierre is a loose cannon,’’ says a network reporter. In the early 1980s, Salinger claimed the Carter administration bungled opportunities to free the American hostages who were held in Iran....

On the other hand, a pure RomCom anime like A Couple of Cuckoos seems to be struggling to find its foothold. With its good first episode and bland second episode, A Couple of Cuckoos needs a solid episode if it wants to stay within the competition. So can this third episode fulfill that crucial role? RELATED: Spring 2022 Preview: A Couple of Cuckoos Previously on A Couple of Cuckoos Despite their objection, Erika Amano and Nagi Umino are betrothed by their parents....

Evans, who at 24 has won four Olympic gold medals and 45 national titles, greeted Brooke with some uncharacteristic gamesmanship of her own. “A lot of people ask, “Do you see Brooke being like you?’ " said Evans, who went to her first Olympics at 17. “I say, “No!’ By the time I was 15, I had three world records.” She concluded her remarks with a harsh view of Bennett: Brooke will be remembered – if at all – as a flash in the pan unless she swims much faster....

In Germany, embryos are protected under one of the strictest such laws in the world: the 1990 Embryonenschutzgesetz–embryo-protection law. It says that life begins at conception and that every fertilized egg has a right to survive. Since stem cells are harvested from human embryos only a few days old, producing them is illegal in Germany. Scientists have turned to outside firms for the cells they need. Franz, for instance, got his from WiCell, a Wisconsin-based company....

On a Wednesday evening in early April, more than 100 blacks and Jews gathered at the Union United Methodist Church in Boston for an unusual Passover celebration. With a moving mixture of Hebrew readings and black spirituals, they retold the story of the Jewish Exodus out of slavery in Egypt. It was a heartening example of racial togetherness–unless you listened closely to the words of the two featured speakers. The Rev....

The transplant costs about $150,000 and is typically covered by insurers. Conventional treatment, which includes blood transfusions and medication, runs roughly $30,000 to $50,000 a year and can only relieve symptoms. All patients in the five-year trial were under 16, and all received marrow transplants from matched sibling donors. Even then, two of the children died after the procedure. Sullivan says there could always be the chance of a fatal complication from a transplant, so prospective patients have to balance ““risk vs....

Thomas headed the EEOC; Barkley dunks on players regardless of race. Thomas adores grandmother who raised him; Barkley once said grandmother who raised him could outscore a teammate. Thomas accused of making off-color remarks; Barkley fined for ““trash-talking.'' Thomas bounced back from confirmation hearings; Barkley leads team in rebounds. Thomas’s hairline receding; Barkley shaves his head. On the other hand, Barkley makes tons more money and spends a lot less time on the bench....

New York’s cover copy suggested a Grisham-size blitz for Morrow’s thinky thriller, Giovanni’s Gift (323 pages. Viking. $22.95). But Morrow’s publishers are actually embarked on a sane campaign. Viking paid Morrow an advance in the low six figures. They probably splurged on the beautiful cover, but they hardly overdid the print run (30,000 to 40,000 copies) or the marketing budget ($87.000). What Viking did, they did with caution and class....

After announcing his retirement from international cricket, everyone had an expectation from him to finish his career on a high. And indeed he did that. The crowd and the cricket fraternity welcomed Cook with a huge applause as he walked onto the cricket field for the one last time. He started his innings cautiously and played the Indian bowlers on merit who had till now got better off him in the whole series....

You can see why. The event–parts of which will screen in up to 30 U.S. cities later in the year–is hardly festive, and despite the organizers’ intention to “showcase the heroic stories of activists and survivors,” any collection of films on human rights is more likely a catalog of human wrongs. It also has an unfashionable premise: that what is morally edifying for a film’s viewer may practically aid its subject....

In New York City, one woman’s apprehension over AIDS apparently led to an unusual plea bargain–and contributed to a growing debate over the competing rights of rape victims and defendants. According to an issue of The Manhattan Lawyer published last week, a former Columbia University security guard named Reginald Darby, who pleaded guilty in March to raping a 17-year-old undergraduate at knife point in her dorm, has been promised a reduced sentence in exchange for an agreement to take an AIDS test and provide his victim with the results....

One such spin-off was Kirby’s Blowout Blast in 2017, an expansion of the “Kirby 3D Rumble” puzzler sub-game from Planet Robobot. Many embody different genres, from the party-fighting game Kirby Fighters to the rhythm game Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe. A particularly basic concept with potential is “Kirby Quest,” a mock RPG sub-game from 2011’s Kirby Mass Attack on DS. While it wasn’t a true RPG, it shows how Kirby could thrive with a similar treatment to AlphaDream’s Mario & Luigi franchise....

As most Angolans sink deeper and deeper into poverty, the conspicuous consumption of the small minority of Angolans who are making money seems to grow more extreme. Inside Luanda nightclubs like Kaos, Bahia and Havana, it is easy to forget you are in an African country at all–especially one where there are almost 2 million internally displaced people, where child malnutrition is at its highest rate in 25 years and where the unemployment rate is said to be hovering at about 80 percent....

Atom Egoyan’s strange, provocative B_The Adjuster_b seems to transpire in a limbo between reality and fantasy, where questions of identity become slippery. Noah Render (Elias Koteas) is an insurance adjuster who plays savior to men and women whose lives have been uprooted by tragedy. His clients look to him for comfort, sexual and otherwise, and he obliges them all, losing his own identity in the process. Noah’s wife, Hera (Arsinee Khanjian), is a censor for the Canadian government, who spends her days watching pornographic films which she secretly videotapes for her sister-but not for the purpose of titillation....

The Bush administration is itching to get rid of Saddam Hussein. The Kurds, too, would like him wiped out. So, of late, Washington and the mountain warriors of northern Iraq have learned to work together. But there is a paradox in this alliance: right now, with Saddam in place, the Kurds have de facto independence; without him, their chances of staying independent are very slim. The neighbors of de facto Kurdistan–Iran, Turkey and, to a lesser extent, Syria-would be hostile, fearing its impact on their own restive Kurdish populations, challenging its borders, coveting its oil....
