The blast in Ludhiana, an industrial town in Punjab state, was the second apparent terror attack this week in northern India. Two people were killed days earlier in the bombing of a venerated Muslim shrine in the neighboring state of Rajasthan. A third person injured in the attack died Sunday.

Veteran reporter Bonnie Bernstein felt Ciara needed to “cover up” before singing the national anthem ahead of Monday night’s title game between Clemson and Alabama. MORE: Ranking Saban’s Tide teams | Next for Saban? | Photos Bernstein was instantly criticized for the tweet because it was a silly thing to say, but she also received responses accusing her of racism. Russell Wilson had no problem with Ciara’s attire. The Seahawks quarterback dates the pop superstar, so it would have been a little awkward at home if he told her she needed to throw a jacket over her dress....

The military man-turned-author received criticism after appearing on the conservative podcast Information Operation last week. During that appearance, the then-commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado told podcast host L. Todd Wood that “diversity, inclusion and equity industry and the trainings we are receiving in the military…is rooted in critical race theory, which is rooted in Marxism.” The description continues, “Are the many Diversity and Inclusion trainings that are being conducted in our federal agencies helping solve these problems, or are they creating conflict where none previously existed?...

Booking.com announced its plan before it began implementing it, because reportedly the company is having difficulty figuring out how to word its warning. To avoid allegations that it is discriminating against Jews, Booking.com referred to its warning as applying to “the area.” But “the area” in question has listings from both Jews and Arabs, and Booking.com only wants to place warning labels on Jewish-owned listings. So Booking.com is delaying implementing its plan until it can figure out how to word a Jews-only boycott without getting sued....

The 43-year-old Zelnick, who became one of the world’s top music bosses 20 months ago, wants to cultivate a cooler image. He was little known outside showbiz circles until his name surfaced late last year in two messy music-industry squabbles, one involving ‘N Sync, the other Arista Records boss Clive Davis. Last week he surfaced again, this time to formally name Antonio (LA) Reid as Davis’s successor. It’s all in a frenetic day’s work for Zelnick, the man who must steer BMG, the global music company owned by Germany’s Bertelsmann, through perhaps the most turbulent time in the record business, thanks to industry consolidation, management turmoil and the rise of the Internet....

In the sport, few individuals can lay claim to outdoing Arnold Schwarzenegger. One of them is Coleman, who has become a bodybuilding legend and gone by the moniker ‘The King’, thanks to his stellar accomplishments. His life since retirement has been full of ups and downs. The 58-year-old has undergone more than 12 neck and back operations. Thanks to stem cell therapy, though, he has able to recover. He runs a supplement line, hosts a podcast, and runs contests as he stays involved with the sport - even after 14 years when he last took the stage....

It’s also hard. Really, really hard. Run out of food? Dead. Attacked by a zombie? Dead. Can’t find any weapons, clothes, or medical supplies? Sorry, dead. And that’s before introducing other players to the mix. Wandering through abandoned buildings, dodging zombies and staying fed is difficult enough; now try doing it with bands of raiders wandering around, all of whom have fully loaded weapons and really want those pants you’re wearing....

Bolivia put up a good fight, but failed to take its chances while Brazil did, and the result was a dominant 4-0 scoreline in favor of the visitors in La Paz. Multiple Bolivian chances somehow went begging, and Brazil put home nearly every chance it had, with Richarlison scoring a brace and Bruno Guimaraes also scoring his first international goal to put a bow on a fantastic performance. The win for Brazil set a new points mark in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying, with the 45 points topping the Marcelo Bielsa-led Argentina haul of 43 from 2002 World Cup qualifying....

Someone has just walked over my grave. Someone. The name of the house is the Cedars, as of old. A bristling clump of those trees, monkey-brown with a tarry reek, their trunks nightmarishly tangled, still grows at the left side, facing across an untidy lawn to the big curved window of what used to be the living room but which Miss Vavasour prefers to call, in landladyese, the lounge. The front door is at the opposite side, opening on to a square of oil-stained gravel behind the iron gate that is still painted green, though rust has reduced its struts to a tremulous filigree....
