Beating Chinese Taipei was always going to be difficult, not only given their World Rank of 40 but also their record in the tournament prior to facing India. They were 2-0 through two games which included a 30-point win against Kazakhstan [72-42] and an OT win [87-85] against the highly ranked Unified Korean team. A Tale of Two Halves Despite the competition, the Indians looked really strong in the first half....

However, Pinky Balhara, who won silver in Kurash at the recently concluded Asiad, thanked the Delhi chief minister for the “substantial increase” in the cash award....

According to Doru Paul, M.D., Ph.D., an oncologist who focuses on individualizing care and improving the prognosis of cancer treatments, there should be no difference in breast cancer care tied to a patient’s race. But health disparities related to location and income mean cancer diagnosis and successful treatment are not equal across racial lines.

It was a wise move that meant President Donald Trump behaved—for a while at least—in the manner of a normal politician and actually answered questions. It didn’t last, of course. But the fact is that, as we edge into the final days of the campaign, he has been increasingly muted anyway. Like an old rock star who once had the ability to shock, Trump is still putting out all the old hits, but there’s a sense that the voters are increasingly deaf to the messages....
