These days, precious few little girls aspire to a life like Harriman’s. But in the intellectually stifling world of Pamela Digby’s childhood, it may have seemed a reasonable career goal. Born in 1920, Pamela, a daughter of the British aristocracy, grew up at the imposing 1,500-acre family estate in Dorset. As a deb in 1938, she was considered loud, pudgy and graceless. But in what would become characteristic bounce-back behavior, she wound up a year later married to Winston Churchill’s only son, Randolph, whom she met on a blind date....

Freeman, who lives in Gallant, Alabama, was being investigated by the Etowah County Department of Human Resources (DHR) for alleged drug use in January.

A caseworker confronted Freeman, who denied that she was pregnant and offered to take a pregnancy test at the courthouse....

And with the Eastern European country teetering on the brink of conflict with neighboring Russia, journalists and researchers are concerned about the kind of combat experience that could potentially be obtained by a strain of extremists branded by the FBI as the most serious threat to the U.S. homeland. One journalist who tracked this phenomenon in the lead-up to the events of 1/6 is Mariana van Zeller. In the final months of 2020, she spoke with one of the leading neo-Nazi groups in the U....

Finch led Australia on the tour to the West Indies last month. The 34-year-old suffered a cartilage injury which was aggravated during the last leg of the T20Is. The Australian opener underwent surgery on Thursday as soon as he completed his two-week mandatory quarantine. However, cricket.com.au came out with an update from Cricket Australia that Finch will be out of action until the third week of October. With the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup scheduled to commence on October 24, the chances of Finch making it to the tournament seem bleak....

A grand jury indicted Shayanna Jenkins, 24, on a single count in relation to the investigation into the June 17 killing of Odin Lloyd, Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter said. It wasn't clear what led to the charge. Sutter's spokesman, Gregg Miliote, said he could not comment until her arraignment, which has not been set. A message left for Jenkins' lawyer was not immediately returned.

Following Rodgers’ strong message supporting all forms of protest in the wake of George Floyd’s killing and Saints quarterback Drew Brees’ misguided comments Wednesday night, the Packers put out the strongest team response yet from the NFL on Thursday morning.

By position, they were running back Aaron Jones, wide receiver Davante Adams, tight end Marcedes Lewis, offensive linemen David Bakhtiari, Billy Turner and Corey Linsley, kicker Mason Crosby, defensive lineman Kenny Clark, linebacker Preston Smith and defensive backs Adrian Amos and Kevin King....

There could be a couple of decisive factors for the four-time MVP. The strength of the roster with the Packers or elsewhere, and whether or not he is happy to continue playing. Former Packer Greg Jennings thinks Rodgers is motivated by money. On ESPN’s First Things First, Jennings, a former teammate of Rodgers, called the Packers quarterback selfish and said that it’s all about the money for the 38-year-old....

How Does ABA Work? ABA is built around traditional behaviorism. Behaviorism assumes that both animals and people learn to behave appropriately because they are responding to potential rewards or consequences. On the simplest level, dogs do tricks because they are expecting a treat, and they avoid pulling on a leash because they don’t like the feeling of a collar choking them. On a much more sophisticated level, employees work harder when they expect a bonus for their extra effort, and they avoid stealing from their employer because they don’t like the idea of going to jail....

Nurmagomedov pulled off his coaching career with flying colors, having trained a handful of athletes in sambo and mixed-martial-arts, who would eventually go on to become world champions in their respective sports.

Buchanan may seem a suddenly new political force, but in fact he is part of a long tradition. It is one of popular anger against concentrated economic power–and of searching for enemies on which to blame problems and anxieties. Buchanan is a native of Washington, a veteran White House aide and a master of the “Crossfire” pun-dit culture, but his brawling, anti-estab-lishment campaign descends from rougher figures like Long, Coughlin and George Wallace....
