But a counterblizzard has blown in from Diana Furchtgott-Roth and Christine Stolba, authors of “Women’s Figures: An Illustrated Guide to the Economic Progress of Women in America.” Furchtgott-Roth is a fellow at The American Enterprise Institute and Stolba is a historian living in Washington, and both had better mind their manners. Feminists are not famous for their sense of humor and may frown at the authors’ dedication of their book to their husbands “who have always appreciated our figures....

How old were you at the time of surgery? Lesa: 29 Why was surgery recommended for you? Lesa: Lower abdominal pain, especially with periods and sexual activity. What kind of symptoms were you experiencing? Lesa: Cramping, pain, heavy periods. Were any alternatives to a hysterectomy offered? Lesa: No Did you feel like you were being “pushed” toward a hysterectomy? Lesa: Not really. I was glad to have an option to lessen the pain....

Before that, Shero sent longtime starting goaltender Cory Schneider to the AHL in November. Two weeks later, he fired head coach John Hynes. Despite these major changes to the team’s makeup, life — and hockey — goes on. As several Devils noted Wednesday after the morning skate, one player’s exit means another player’s opportunity to earn valuable playing time. “It gives some guys a little bit more opportunity here. Obviously we’re not going to replace Taylor with one guy," team captain Andy Greene said....

Why Are We Wired and Worried? Hats off to NEWSWEEK for publishing the article “Stress,” on how stress makes way for disease (Society & The Arts, June 28). This article will go far in helping millions of your readers cope better with this universal torment. Jamil Ahmad Pitafi Muzaffargarh, Pakistan Thank you, NEWSWEEK, for your story “Stress.” I really needed it after reading an article in your June 14 issue, “Silicon Heaven,” about the “town of ineffable wealth and monumental silliness....

The eight-team playoff to determine the league champion begins with two first legs Wednesday and another two Thursday. The second legs for the series beginning Wednesday take place Saturday with the other two deciding matches taking place Sunday. Pumas were at the top of the league to start the season but fell off significantly and needed a result Sunday to confirm their spot in the postseason. A 15th-minute goal from Matias Alustiza had them on the right track, but halftime substitute Erbin Trejo’s equalizer from outside the box in the 77th minute had fans at the Estadio Olimpico biting their fingernails....

“I’m so focused on new music right now,” she tells Newsweek in a recent interview. “After releasing this record, I’m just writing new songs. It is nice to hear both good and bad things about the record. Honestly, I find the negative criticism a little bit more interesting than the positive. But I’ve been pretty focused on working on new stuff.” It’s an optimistic assessment by Kang, given that the future of the group—whose core lineup includes herself, guitarist Kevin Copeland and synth player/engineer Logan Miley—was, for a time, somewhat in doubt....

On Thursday afternoon, the Tampa Bay bench boss first apologized to the media for abruptly leaving Wednesday night’s press conference, explaining how he had not seen the video of the Avs with too many men until right before he came to speak to the media. Cooper then discussed moving on from the controversy and focusing on Friday night’s contest. “What’s great about today is that it’s not yesterday and, now, it’s like I’ve got some excitement for Game 5,” Cooper said during his media availability on Thursday....

He has scored a few one-handed beauties in his career, such as the one he notched in October’s season-opener when the then-Devils forward flicked the puck past Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck. That certainly was an early Goal of the Year candidate. But the one he scored on Tuesday night against Bruins goalie Jaroslav Halak took it up a whole other notch. MORE: Maple Leafs-Penguins trade grades In the first period of Game 2, Coleman took the pass from Zach Bogosian — who, by the way, was doing his own impressive move after rushing up the ice as he knocked the puck over to his teammate while falling — and somehow scored while leaping parallel to the ice....

The Avs are one win away from hoisting their third Stanley Cup in franchise history after defeating the Lightning 3-2 in overtime on Wednesday. After the game, Tampa Bay head coach Jon Cooper pointed out that Colorado had too many men on the ice as Nazem Kadri netted the game-winner. The Lightning jumped out to an early lead, scoring 36 seconds into Game 4 on a goal from Anthony Cirelli....

Most jazz musicians don’t pay much attention to Washington. But Monk’s career is as unconventional as the famously difficult tunes left by his father, who died a decade ago “believing that the world didn’t want to hear what he had to say,” as his son recalls. For six years the younger Monk has been “trying to weave jazz into the cultural tapestry of this country” as head of a nonprofit institute named for his father....

Correa’s three home runs in New York give him 25 for his career in only 101 games, the fastest home run clip for any shortstop in major league history. It took Nomar Garciaparra 134 games to reach that milestone. Alex Rodriguez needed 143 games. Correa plays his home games in Minute Maid Park, which gives a significant boost to right-handed home run hitters. And that portends a whole lot of dingers for Correa over the next six seasons of his career, at least....

The rapper was one of many frustrated Packers fans at the end of the listless 15-9 loss, tweeting, “RIP to the season we should’ve gotten rid of 12 before the season.” The Lions had lost five consecutive games coming into today and had one of the NFL’s lowest rated defenses. Lil Wayne’s “season over” declaration came seven hours after he tweeted “GO PACK GO!!!!!” - a sequence of tweets that perfectly sums up the season for Green Bay....

So, if Lily James’ character is not Rebecca, then what is her first name? Throughout the film, James’ character is referred to as Mrs. de Winter after she marries the wealthy and handsome Maxim (played by Armie Hammer). We never learn her first name—and it’s the same situation in the novel, her name’s never revealed. While he’s courting his eventual second wife, Maxim mentions her “lovely and unusual name” early in the novel, but he fails to ever speak it....

The scathing ad plays clips of countless embarrassing moments from Trump tenure in office and underscores how the president would become the first one-term president since George H.W. Bush was in the White House nearly 30 years ago. The deeply sarcastic Lincoln Project ad mocks Trump for having a “turd mentality,” referencing his botched pronunciation of “herd mentality” during a September TV interview in which he said coronavirus will “go away without a vaccine....

The video consists of more than 15 instances, taken from public comments Trump made between January 2017 to October 2020 in which Trump promised his administration would unveil its national health care plan. So far, no such plan has been introduced. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has attacked Trump’s coronavirus response and the administration’s attempts to overturn the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare. “Trump’s healthcare plan is around the corner,” The Lincoln Project tweeted....

“O Famera president, it’s me, Lohan,” a makeup-free Lohan says in the content in question. “I call upon thy name to ask for forgiveness for being a dirty little stinker,” she continues, before appearing to release loud flatulence. It’s worth pointing out that the passing of gas is labeled as “heavenly sounds.” Lohan takes a deep breath and continues: “the fragrance of salvation is in the air. May the eye wink upon you....

The Washington Post on Sunday published the results of a lengthy investigation: a three-part series, reconstructing in detail what happened before, during and after the riot when a mob of Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol in a bid to overturn President Joe Biden’s election victory. The second part, titled “Bloodshed,” goes into detail about how then Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress were evacuated from the Senate chamber after rioters breached the building....

The battleground state survey released by Morning Consult on Tuesday found that Graham led Harrison by 1 percentage point, putting his slim lead within the survey’s margin of error. Independent voters in the state backed Graham over Harrison by a margin of 4 percentage points, again putting the challenger within the poll’s margin of error, meaning he could still overtake the incumbent among swing voters. Morning Consult pollsters also found South Carolina Democrats were more enthusiastic about their candidate that their GOP counterparts....
