While a yellow card means Donovan will miss the chance to play his former club, the San Jose Earthquakes, on Sunday Sept....

San Jose suffered an ignominious home defeat to last-place D.C. United on Saturday, the worst result of a difficult opening to manager Mikael Stahre’s first season in charge. The Galaxy, on the other hand, did secure a 1-0 away win at Montreal on Monday to put an end to a four-match losing streak. Sigi Schmid’s side managed that result despite an early red card from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who will be suspended for Friday’s game at StubHub Center....

Few former White House residents ever cooperated so thoroughly with and granted such unprecedented access to historians and journalists.

In Landau, director Burton found Lugosi’s kindred spirit. A stage and film veteran, Landau was best remembered for his three seasons on TV’s “Mission: Impossible” in the 1960s – until meaty parts in “Tucker” (1988) and “Crimes and Misdemeanors” (1989) turned his career around and won him two Oscar nominations. “There was a long period when I was offered one-dimensional roles in meaningless films. I was lucky I didn’t have to drive a taxi; I was working as an actor....
