This past August, Manny Arora, a lawyer in Atlanta, considered an unusual challenge to the charges brought against his client Kenneth Chesebro. Arora, who is in his fifties, is an unflappable retired Air Force prosecutor. He has argued cases on behalf of the former N.F.L. star Adam (Pacman) Jones and Gucci Mane, the Atlanta rapper. Chesebro was a big client, too: a Harvard-trained lawyer and one of the alleged architects of Donald Trump’s scheme to have several states, including Georgia,
In early December, 2000, a young lawyer in Washington, D.C., named Gerard Magliocca stopped in front of the Supreme Court building. The question of who had won the Presidential election, on November 7th, remained unresolved. George W. Bush and Al Gore were separated by mere hundreds of votes in Florida, and the Bush campaign had sued to stop a recount. The Florida Supreme Court sided with Gore, so Bush appealed to the United States Supreme Court. While the nine Justices
In mid-December, my phone was stolen outside a pub in London.
The thief accessed my Revolut online money account and transferred £2,050 from my savings to another Revolut user.
The next day they took an Uber to Selfridges using my account and I assume had a nice time spending my money.
I asked Revolut if it would reimburse me, as I was a victim of theft and fraud.
It refused, telling me there was no ‘suspicious activity’ or ‘attempted logins’.
South Africa dropped a bombshell on the international community in December, claiming in the International Court of Justice, the United Nations’ highest judicial body, that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. No doubt Pretoria, a longtime supporter of Palestine and in a deteriorating diplomatic relationship with Israel, had political reasons to bring what most Israelis view as an outrageous claim. But to dismiss the case as political theater would be a mistake.
Israel did not send a team of government
South Africa is not only challenging Israel—it is trying to break the spell of US hegemony.
Palestinians carrying flags and banners gather at the Nelson Mandela Square to demonstrate in support of the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice, on January 10, 2024, in Ramallah, the West Bank.

From struggling to get parcels and letters delivered, to battling with madcap energy bills and being ‘debanked,’ there has been plenty for us to complain about this year.
As This is Money’s consumer champion and the writer of the weekly Crane on the Case column, my inbox has swelled under the weight of readers asking for my help standing up to retailers, banks, parking firms, airlines and more.

Browns-Star Myles Garrett hatte eine Nachricht an seinen ehemaligen QB Case Keenum.
Myles Garrett hat nicht vor, es seinem ehemaligen Teamkollegen der Cleveland Browns, Case Keenum, leicht zu machen, wenn sie am Sonntag aufeinandertreffen.
Keenum wird am Sonntag für die Houston Texans starten, wobei herausragender Rookie CJ Stroud wegen einer Gehirnerschütterung ausfällt. Er wird einen guten Teil seines Nachmittags damit verbringen, dem Druck von Garrett zu entgehen, obwohl Keenum verriet, dass sie möglicherweise einen Deal haben.

Jenny Carruthers knows starkly the agonising death that may await her. Ten years ago, the mother of three’s partner died at home in terrible pain from terminal bone cancer. Now, Jenny has been told she, too, faces the same.
Her partner, Gypie Mayo, had enjoyed fame playing guitar with rock bands such as Dr Feelgood and The Yardbirds.
He was diagnosed first with liver cancer in 2010 when he was 60. He had surgery and chemotherapy, but in December 2012
A rift runs deep through the heart of physics. The general theory of relativity, which describes gravity, clashes with quantum physics. In an effort to seal that physics fissure, untold numbers of physicists have spent their careers working to build a theory of quantum gravity.
But one physicist is championing a radically different path. Jonathan Oppenheim thinks that gravity might be fundamentally classical, meaning it isn’t quantum at all. It’s an unconventional idea, to say the least.
On December 1, 1900, at an intimate concert hall in Vienna, a respected local baritone gave the premiere of some early songs for voice and piano by Arnold Schoenberg. Today this music, though written in an elusive harmonic language, comes across as exuding hyper-Wagnerian richness and Brahmsian expressive depth. But the audience in Vienna broke into shouts, laughter, and jeers. From that day on, as Schoenberg ruefully recalled two decades later, “the scandal has never ceased.”
