Early speculation that Castro would offer Vesco up to hasten the Clinton administration’s modest relaxation of U.S. trade sanctions proved premature. Nixon’s account, however, offers a glimpse into how life under one of the world’s last communist dictators can resemble a carnival funhouse. A key to the recent Vesco mystery, Nix-on suggests, is a struggle for control of the “miracle” drug Trioxidal....

Mou gives Chelsea fans the fingers But, while the Portuguese may decry the referee’s decision, it is his own midfielder who should be doing the apologising after the Red Devils’ cup defence was ended in west London by N’Golo Kante’s 51st-minute goal. With no Zlatan Ibrahimovic, no Wayne Rooney, no Anthony Martial, and Marcus Rashford arriving after the rest of the squad due to a bout of illness, Mourinho’s side were always going to have to take a cagey approach against the runaway Premier League leaders....

A recent study found that images of faces generated by artificial intelligence (AI) were not only highly photo-realistic, but they also appeared more virtuous than real faces. “Our evaluation of the photorealism of AI-synthesized faces indicates that synthesis engines have passed through the uncanny valley, and are capable of creating faces that are indistinguishable and more trustworthy than real faces,” observed the researchers. That Person Doesn’t Exist The researchers, Dr....

Trump became president of the United States at the age of 70, making him (at that time) the oldest president to be inaugurated....

But one thing didn’t surprise her, she said: that Trump was “incapable of admitting that the election was over.” “It wasn’t surprising […] because, one, he cannot wrap his mind around the fact that he’s a loser and two, that wouldn’t serve his purposes,” Mary Trump said during her podcast “The Mary Trump Show”. “He needs his sycophants, his followers and his cult members to believe that the fight is ongoing....

Trump’s detractors found the move premature at best and unhinged or dictatorial at worst. Among those calling the president out were some celebrities who have been watching the election closely and tweeting about the returns regularly. Here is Trump’s original message, which was flagged by Twitter—along with others from him and family members—for sharing false information: Not long afterwards, actor Zach Braff decided he could use the same tactic....

“The Fake News Networks are perpetuating lies, falsehoods, and Russia, Russia, Russia type disinformation (same sick people, here we go again!) by allowing the low rated but nevertheless one sided and slanderous Unselect Committee hearings to go endlessly and aimlessly on (and on and on!),” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday. “It is a one sided, highly partisan Witch Hunt, the likes of which has never been seen in Congress before,” he said....

Kander—who served as the Secretary of State for Missouri, a member of the Missouri House of Representatives and founded the anti-voter suppression Let America Vote organization—said Sunday that Trump’s alignment with Russian policy is “reason enough to impeach.” The former Army intelligence officer said on Twitter that Trump “has no strong convictions on foreign policy other than when he’s advancing Russia’s agenda or defending [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.” Kander claimed that in both Syria and in Ukraine, “Trump basically switched which side we were on in a war....
