NEWSWEEK: John McCain has been candid about his health. Does that represent a break with the past? Jerrold Post: There has been increasing pressure for candidates to reveal information that was once considered a personal matter. Today, you have to give up that privacy to run for the highest office. But even in recent years, not all candidates have been that honest. I’m thinking of Sen. Paul Tsongas, who competed against Bill Clinton to be the Democratic nominee in 1992....

Replayability continues to be a major element to Hitman 3, as each stage has multiple ways to eliminate a target with new opportunities being uncovered simply by exploring. IO interactive has also confirmed the existence of secret shortcuts hidden in each level. Finding these ladders, doors, and other pathways will be up to the player and can lead to new opportunities to complete the mission at hand. Better yet, once a shortcut has been found and opened, it will remain that way on repeated playthroughs to allow players to try different tactics and reward curiosity....

Design and build Apple’s option, then, is much more conspicuous than the competition, allowing it to disappear into the environment it’s sat in until it’s needed. But even with all that being said, it’s still a shock just how small the speaker is when you see it in real life – especially when you consider the impressive audio chops, but I’ll get to that a little later. Size aside, the HomePod Mini is a largely circular smart speaker with the same textured covering found on the regular HomePod, bringing a nice level of synchronicity to the system if you’ve already invested in a HomePod or two....

Only a catastrophic defeat against El Salvador at the Estadio Azteca on the final matchday on Wednesday could even see it risk losing the direct berth that it is currently holding. That defeat would need to be combined with a Costa Rica victory over the USA and enough goals scored in both games to overturn the goal differential tiebreaker that currently favors Mexico (+7 to Costa Rica’s +3). And even if the unlikely were to materialize, in the worst-case scenario Mexico would still land in fourth place, which would give it a spot in June’s intercontinental playoff against New Zealand or the Solomon Islands....

Rice was only echoing her boss, George W. Bush, of course, who in his second inaugural speech in January 2005 laid out a bold transformational plan for spreading democracy around the world, especially in the Mideast. A year later, in 2005, Bush declared: “A status quo of tyranny and hopelessness in the Middle East—the false stability of dictatorship and stagnation—can only lead to deeper resentment in a troubled region, and further tragedy in free nations....

Hong Kong CC comes into the game on the back of a good win over Pakistan Association of Hong Kong, but they will be looking to sustain their form.
