The Nerazzurri travel to the Allianz Stadium trailing the leaders by 11 points after 14 rounds of action, their title hopes seemingly in tatters well before the mid-way point of the season. Following one victory from their opening four games of the campaign, Inter embarked on a seven-match winning streak, although that progress has been checked slightly by a recent 4-1 thrashing at Atalanta and a 2-2 draw with Roma last time out....

The secretive Asian nation has reportedly instituted a ban on Western fashion trends including mullets, certain body piercings, and skinny jeans in a self-proclaimed “war on capitalism.” According to the South Korean outlet Yonhap News Agency, a North Korean outlet published an appeal to citizens to do away with capitalistic culture. “History teaches us a crucial lesson that a country can become vulnerable and eventually collapse like a damp wall regardless of its economic and defense power if we do not hold on to our own lifestyle,” Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the North’s ruling Worker’s Party, reportedly wrote on May 13....

This trend is particularly surprising because most countries in the West are adopting conservative policies. From balanced budgets to tight money to welfare reform to higher educational standards, there is widespread popular support for ideas and programs associated for decades with conservative parties. This support is more grudging in continental Europe than in Britain and the United States, but it is still real. Bill Clinton, a well-greased political weather vane, was reflecting this reality when he declared in 1995 that ““the era of big government is over....

“Well it’s never easy for someone to come to the subcontinent and play his shots. He is a strokemaker.

Google stated that Stadia units will be shipped on a first-come, first-serve basis, which means buyers who pre-ordered a bit late will have to wait a bit longer to get their hands on it. Some may even have to wait as long as December to start streaming their favorite games via Google Stadia.

It’s true. In the last few years, a growing number of communities have begun to look askance at the rapidly expanding Seattle-based coffee company. Some have taken it on and, in a few cases, kept it out. Not that Starbucks is running scared.

Actually, it was a bitter disappointment. Since the spring, the government has released more than 350 members of the opposition National League for Democracy party–as well as scores of prisoners from other groups. Nobel Peace Prize winner Suu Kyi has been granted permission to travel within the nation’s borders and has reopened more than 65 NLD offices. But opponents of the regime say that these concessions are beginning to look like little more than window dressing: Suu Kyi has reported no progress in talks about expanding democracy in Burma, and repression in the countryside is as bad as ever....
