Returning to the nominal topic of this thread: Bill Moyers died. He was one of the greats of twentieth-century journalism. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/26/bill-moyers-broadcaster-dies...

Childhood bullies often grow up to be adult bullies, and they generally, but not always, bully other adults. More thread drift, except that any discussion of death is also a discussion about life.

Teen idol MacNee and Rigg did have a large teenage fan base back in the day, both in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, but they also appealed to other age groups. I don't know about anyone else, but I read The New Yorker back in my teens, not Tiger Beat. :P

Thread drift. :) Diana Rigg. :swoon:

Ditto. I will also miss her smile, which is my favorite among currently active skaters.

All a criminal court could do eould be to fine him or lock him up. Given the passage of time, however, any prosecution may be barred by the statute of limitations or, if not, almost impossible to prove. Like it or not, if you want to keep Sorensen from competing or coaching, this is the way to go.

Literally? At least two million people every day and three quarters of a billion every year? At least a tenth of the world's population is diagnosed with cancer every year? I don't think so.

"American" history writ large, with direct ancestors born in Canada, Cuba, Haiti, and Guadeloupe, and more distant relatives whose careers took them to Panama, Peru, and elsewhere in the Americas...

I don't think that we have seen the end of the story. The petitioner probably has the right to an appeal.

Leap of Faith

Is the Arbitrator's decision appealable?

:violin:

Thank you for posting that. The decision is absurd. No one forced Sorensen to skate.
