Restoring America’s Reputation Fareed Zakaria’s analysis in “after Bush” (June 11) was first-rate. In order for America to regain its lost prestige and fundamental values, we need dedicated men and women willing to cherish the concepts of the Founding Fathers. Americans have a moral and a practical obligation to stand behind a commitment to human rights, fair laws, justice and equality for all. But this is not the case today, as President Bush has been empowered to blindly pursue his disastrous policies....

Gizmos, Gadgets and Games I am a little older than your averge computer gamer (I’m 40), and last summer I made the choice to give up television so I would be able to spend more of my leisure time playing computer games (“Sims Family Values,” Next Frontiers, Nov. 25). I did this because my leisure time had become more limited, and I found online games more entertaining than television. The fact is that television forces you to be passive, while online games allow you to become an active participant....

The Question of Diversity You did a good job of probing into the legal and political aspects of affirmative action (“Spinning Race,” Jan. 27). Yes, an increase in the minority-enrollment rate is the apparent and immediate effect of affirmative action. But what’s needed is an assessment of this policy’s long-term impact. After more than 30 years, have minorities achieved upward social mobility, as originally intended? You can’t maintain affirmative action just because there is so much emotion around it....

Nibali, who has earned the yellow jersey in every stage but two this year, made his latest case to take it home to Sicily and become the first Italian to win cycling’s showcase race in 16 years. He finished third and gained valuable seconds on four of his closest rivals. Majka, who cheekily winked to a French TV camera with about a kilometer left, tapped his chest, thrust his arms skyward and shouted in joy after giving his Tinkoff Saxo-Bank squad its second straight stage victory after Tuesday’s win by Australian Michael Rogers....

The Hunt Sports Group has sold club Columbus Crew for an undisclosed amount on Tuesday. Rumours started doing the rounds about a possible sale of the franchise October last year, but Clark Hunt, Chairman and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs, who leads the Hunt Sports Group, told the media that the group was looking for minority investors and not a total sale of the team. However, the rumours were confirmed when Hunt announced the sale....

On that note, the developers have finally released quite a few changes to Udyr along with the League of Legends’ PBE (Public Beta Environment) for the patch 12.18 cycle. These changes will aim to nerf his tankiness while simultaneously enhancing his capabilities as a bruiser champion. Ever since his rework, Udyr has been an extremely strong pick, terrorizing the summoner’s rift. However, fans are quite happy with his enhanced capabilities as they feel that Udyr’s rework is one of the best that Riot Games has ever done and should be a benchmark for future changes to champions....

The singer elicited a strong response with her op-ed for MarketWatch, published on Thursday, in which she said the current flag “no longer represents democracy and freedom” and was “tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect.” She suggested Old Glory’s popularity at the U.S. Capitol riot showed that for many it had become a “replacement” for the Confederate battle flag, which she called “a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery....

“Our culture today is trying to completely de-masculate all of the young men in our culture,” Cawthorn said, citing historically low testosterone levels in young men. After stating that there are “a lot of reasons” for declining testosterone levels, Cawthorn said: “They’re trying to de-masculate the young men in our country because they don’t want people who are going to stand up.” “All you moms here—the ones who I said are the most vicious in our movement—if you are raising a young man, please raise them to be a monster,” he added....

The Madonna biopic was considered major enough in industry circles that big-name stars such as Florence Pugh were lining up to take a swing at the titular role.

Krasinski’s goal was to do the opening of A Quiet Place 2 in one take, or rather make it look as if it was a continuation with no camera cuts. He wanted the audience to be following his character, going where he went, or being in the car driving with Emily Blunt. Krasinski says this is because he didn’t want to break the energy. What that means is that every department (special effects, cast, stunts, etc....
