NEWSWEEK: What surprised you the most in reporting the new book? Bob Woodward: That there’s a theme that goes back to the beginning, and theme is the element of denial. It runs not just from after the invasion to today, but it began prewar. There were people telling [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld in December 2002, four months before the war, that ‘you’re going to lose the election for George Bush if you don’t get the postwar fixed because it’s screwed up now....

The online dispute began last week when Rush said he stopped respecting Henry after the Hall of Famer publicly accused him of lying during a backstage conversation that they once had in WWE. Since then, the two men have traded several messages on Twitter, while Henry has even threatened to sue Rush if the recently released Superstar does not issue an apology to him. Bobby Lashley comments on the Mark Henry-Lio Rush spat Speaking to talkSPORT, Bobby Lashley admitted he does not know the full details behind the legitimate issues between Mark Henry and Lio Rush, but he hopes that both men are not trying to bring each other down....

These images are routine in modem medicine, but at the start of the century none of them was attainable because, with one exception–X-rays–the technologies did not exist. If we think of the inside of the living body as a planet awaiting exploration, the area mapped in 1901 was akin to the geography of Cape Cod. The rest of the human planet awaited surveyors. X-rays, discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen, were still a novelty in 1901 when President William McKinley, standing before a crowd at the Pan American Exhibition in Buffalo, N....

On August 16, the asteroid 2022 PW will pass at a distance of 1.4 LD (Lunar Distance). One LD is how far away the Moon is from the Earth. According to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), 2022 PW is traveling at a speed of around 7.5 km/s (about 17,000 mph) and is between 75 and 100 feet across, making it roughly the size of a Boeing 737-500, or a blue whale....

A former major league infielder, Bogar has extensive experience as a minor league manager and major league coach. He had never managed in the bigs before taking over for Washington. The last-place Rangers have played relatively well under Bogar, going 8-6, including sweeps of the Braves and A’s as those teams were battling for playoff spots. Texas was 53-87 under Washington. Bogar, 47, played in the bigs from 1993 to 2001 for the Mets, Astros and Dodgers....

Bolivia scored either side of halftime through Juan Arce and Marcelo Martins and were deserved winners against an Argentina side who defended poorly throughout an exciting end-to-end encounter. The defeat left twice World Cup winners Argentina provisionally third on 22 points in the 10-team South American qualifying group, but with Chile, Ecuador and Colombia all within two points and with a game in hand. Argentina were already without suspended regulars Javier Mascherano, Lucas Biglia and Gonzalo Higuain and their task was made even tougher when captain Messi was handed a four-match ban for swearing at a match official hours before the game started....

Oddly, in this era of luridly factitious memoirs, Price’s comes with unimpeachable credentials. She first came to public attention in 2006 as “AJ,” the pseudonymous subject of a paper in the journal Neurocase entitled “A Case of Unusual Autobiographical Remembering.” The lead author, James L. McGaugh, a professor of neurobiology at the University of California, Irvine, spent five years bombarding Price with psychological, neurological and physiological tests to investigate what was going on inside her otherwise quite ordinary mind....

Conroy’s characters are well-worn stencils, like the sexy, snooty rich girl (Estella meets Daisy Buchanan) and the gluttonous Italian violin virtuoso (Paganini meets Zorba meets the cartoon chef on a pizza box), surrounding a cipher: Claude himself. Despite his upbringing (no father, loony cab-driving mother), Claude has no eccentricities; his rise occasions none of the guilty snobbism that gives Dickens’s Pip esthetic interest. Claude’s fairy-godfather mentors never turn weird, he never blows a big audition, he gets women into bed with no problems except for the embarrassingly rhapsodic prose in the sex scenes....

The Parisiens were guilty of taking their foot off the pedal after Mbappe’s goal, and very nearly squandered a three-goal cushion. Bordeaux were the more dangerous side on the night, mustering 18 shots, twice as many as PSG, including six on target. However, some sloppy finishing early on coupled with Keylor Navas’ heroics in goal kept them from scoring more. It’s now time for international break. On that note, here are the player ratings for PSG:...
