“You don’t have to be a Jew to be a Zionist,” President Joe Biden declared last December at the White House Hanukkah reception, to applause. Biden, who is not a Jew, rattled off his Zionist bona fides: When each of his children and grandchildren turned 14, he flew them to Dachau to impress upon them the horrors of the Holocaust; he called his commitment to the Jewish state “unshakable” and boasted that he had known Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu … Read more
Before he received the Covid vaccine in August 2021, David Becerra, then 56, lived a full and rewarding life as a retiree who loved to spend time running around after his infant grandson.
But a little less than a week after the shot, he became unsteady on his feet.
And within a few months, he’d lost the ability to walk longer than a few blocks without needing a break. At one point, he began coughing up blood.
Subsequent tests revealed
Even now I can still see him, the man in gold and white, streaking down the sideline all alone.
And then the ball was in the air. It hung up there for what felt like my entire childhood, spiraling in slow motion, traveling 50 yards in total. I remember gasping. Just a few minutes earlier, my favorite team—my first true love—the Detroit Lions, had taken a three-point lead over the hated Green Bay Packers. It was the first
A mother who is set to make history by flying to space on Virgin Galactic’s first official tourism flight with her daughter has revealed how she will be fulfilling a life-long dream.
Keisha Schahaff, 46, and her 18-year-old daughter Anastatia Mayers, will be the first mother and daughter ever to make a trip to space after winning two coveted places worth $900,000 in a prize draw.
The duo – who will also make their mark as the first astronauts from
The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Rachel Fuda had her first arthritis flare up when she was four years old.
And it has been a tough journey ever since.
The 32-year-old opened up about her diagnosis for Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month, telling People: ‘This is a lifelong physical and emotional battle.’
The Bravo star – who joined the popular reality show in Season 13 – fell off the monkey bars when she was four-years-old and broke her leg. When doctors
Fifty years ago, William F. Buckley Jr. vowed not to read another book about liberalism until his mother wrote one. Liberalism was riding high then, and Buckley was probably annoyed by its champions’ triumphalist tone. Over the past four decades, things have changed: You can hardly walk around the block today without tripping over a critique of liberalism. There are critiques by wild-eyed Randians, free-market libertarians, neoclassical economists, neo-Burkean conservatives, Catholic integralists, critical race theorists, postmodernists,
Beaming with joy in a rainbow-coloured dress, it’s hard to imagine that eight-year-old Holly Hughes has suffered leukaemia twice.
Aged just two she was diagnosed with one of the most common childhood cancers – acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, which affects white blood cells – and faced gruelling chemotherapy and steroid treatment. It left her so weak she needed physiotherapy to learn to walk again.
And last year she was diagnosed with another form of the disease, acute myeloid leukaemia, or AML,
“The Friendship Files,” my series of interviews with friends about their friendships, began with an idle thought. Having written a lot about both friendship and dating apps, I was curious about Bumble BFF. Did it work? Did it feel like dating? What do you do on a friend date anyway? So I interviewed two young women who became best friends after using the app. It was intended as a onetime article, but the conversation was so fun, genuine, and sometimes
In late 2001, I was a consultant working on a project in Los Angeles. I was headed to North Dakota for the holidays and rushing through the airport to catch my flight. I ran into Pamela Anderson on the way to my gate, and then plopped down on the plane next to Louie Anderson. My first thought was: Wow, that’s two opposite ends of the Anderson spectrum! My second thought was: Louie is one of my comedy heroes and I’ve
