  • Surprises Turned Stalwarts Power Yankees Past Orioles

    Surprises Turned Stalwarts Power Yankees Past Orioles
    On Friday, Hicks’s two home runs powered the offense, and Montgomery’s seven innings of two-run ball tamed the opposition as the Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles, 8-2, at Yankee Stadium. They remain three games ahead of the Boston Red Sox in the American League East. Neither of those accomplishments seemed likely last year, when Hicks was struggling to keep his batting average above .200 in his first season as a Yankee and Montgomery was not even being mentioned as a possible addition to the ..

  • Review: Can Trump Survive in Caesar's Palace?

    Review: Can Trump Survive in Caesar's Palace?
    Even a cursory reading of the play, the kind that many American teenagers give it in high school, is enough to show that it does not advocate assassination. Shakespeare portrays the killing of Caesar by seven of his fellow senators as an unmitigated disaster for Rome, no matter how patriotic the intentions. The Delacorte production, vividly staged by the Public’s artistic director, Oskar Eustis, bears the same message and, for good measure, comes with careful usage instructions. “Those who atte..

  • Trump Calls Comey a 'Leaker.' What Does That Mean?

    Trump Calls Comey a 'Leaker.' What Does That Mean?
    That is a neutral description, but Mr. Trump on Friday used the term in a way that was clearly intended to carry pejorative connotations: “He’s a leaker,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Comey at a news conference. Gabriel Schoenfeld — a senior fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute, who published a book in 2010 that criticized the publication of leaked national security information, but has praised leaks about the Trump administration as morally necessary — said he nevertheless wished that Mr. Come..
