Morning visibility is a couple of hundred metres. Through the eerie filtered

Some wear masks or handkerchiefs, most blithely dismiss the apocalyptic

Last Wednesday, central New Delhi's count of harmful PM2.5 particles
exceeded a staggering 1,000 on the US EPA's air quality index.

Donald Trump Didn’t Want to Be President
On the afternoon of November 8, 2016, Kellyanne Conway settled into her
glass office at Trump Tower. Right up until the last weeks of the race, the
campaign headquarters had remained a listless place. All that seemed to
distinguish it from a corporate back office were a few posters with right-

While the fate of this last group remains unclear, the strongest evidence we

In his book “Democracy, Dictatorship, and Term Limits,” Baturo suggested
that though leaders who abolished or otherwise avoided term limits did tend
to stay in power longer than their peers who didn't, they were more likely

Now that the Supreme Court has given a thumbs-up, states can start
legalizing sports betting. Many will.
On Monday, the Supreme Court issued a decision in Murphy v. NCAA that could
lead to legal sports betting in states across the country. Here’s what’s
going on.
The Supreme Court didn’t just legalize sports betting, but it paved the way
for states to legalize it on their own.

1. The Opium Wars
When China attempted to suppress the opium trade in the mid 19th century —
an illegal activity enjoyed mostly by British traders and the cause of
widespread addiction and social problems — it led to armed conflict.
Or, as one analyst bluntly put it: “England went to war with China because
it was upset that Chinese officials had shut down its drug trafficking
racket and confiscated its dope.”
