Fiction“After the First Death,” Robert CormierI read Robert Cormier’s young adult novels when I was a young adult. At the time they — especially “The Chocolate War,” “I Am the Cheese,” and “After the First Death” — were among the most frightening and upsetting books I’d ever encountered. I’ve been rereading them recently, and they still are.They’re all about authority figures who are eager to manipulate and betray adolescents for their own purposes. As such, they provide excruciating metaphorical lessons about larger-scale human politics, lessons you don’t want to learn but have to. For me, “After the First Death” is the most disturbing of them all, with its title taken from the last line of a poem by Dylan Thomas: “After the first death, there is no other.” OR IS THERE. — Jon Schwarz“Blue Skies,” T. C. BoyleBlue skiesSmiling at meNothing but blue skiesDo I see— Irving BerlinI’ve been reading T.

(CNN) — Las autoridades griegas comenzaron a partir de este lunes a limitar los visitantes diarios a la Acrópolis, dijo el Ministerio de Cultura del país en un comunicado.A partir de este lunes se implementarán franjas horarias de reserva y los visitantes podrán elegir el horario en el que desean visitar el monumento y reservar su entrada en línea, añadió el ministerio.A través de este nuevo sistema, el gobierno griego se esfuerza por limitar el número de visitantes diarios a 20.000 para abordar el hacinamiento y garantizar la seguridad y longevidad del monumento.Esta es la razón por la que Grecia limitará el número de visitantes a la AcrópolisDurante una entrevista en agosto, la ministra de Cultura griega, Lina Mendoni, dijo que hasta 23.000 personas visitaban el sitio todos los días, calificándolo de “un número enorme”, y agregó que la mayoría de los visitantes elegían visitarlo en las horas de la mañana, lo que creaba cuellos de botella y “condiciones desagradables para el ...Se acumulan las denuncias contra Luis Rubiales, y no solo por besar a la fuerza a Jenni Hermoso

(CNN) — Mientras la furia por aquel infame beso no deseado gira en torno al jefe de la Federación Española de Fútbol, Luis Rubiales, algunos se sorprenderán al saber que la denuncia inicial no fue presentada por la mujer a la que besó, sino por un hombre que estaba viendo el partido en Madrid.Miguel Ángel Galán estaba viendo con orgullo cómo España ganaba la Copa del Mundo Femenina. Su alegría se convirtió en disgusto cuando Rubiales plantó ese beso enérgico a la delantera estrella del equipo, Jenni Hermoso.En cuestión de minutos, Galán, director del Centro Nacional de Entrenamiento de Directivos de Fútbol, dijo que estaba redactando una queja oficial ante el Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) del Gobierno español.La historia de Luis Rubiales, protagonista de uno de los mayores escándalos en la historia del fútbol español“Fue un acto machista e intolerable.

(CNN) — La Patrulla de Caminos de California puede ser mejor conocida por las persecuciones en las autopistas y el glamour hollywoodiense de sus policías en motocicleta en programas de televisión como “ChiPs”. Pero ahora la famosa agencia está patrullando las calles del distrito Tenderloin de San Francisco como parte de un esfuerzo de varias agencias para acabar con el tráfico desenfrenado de drogas que está diezmando el área de 50 cuadras.Hace poco, un día, CNN vio cómo miembros del grupo de trabajo arrestaban a un presunto traficante de drogas acusado de vender metanfetamina y fentanilo. Dentro de una bolsa de plástico: 33 gramos de fentanilo que, según estimaciones del oficial del agente de la Patrulla de Caminos Andy Barclay, en el peor de los casos, podrían matar a miles de personas.“Estamos viendo alrededor de 16.500 dosis fatales de fentanilo puro en esa pequeña bolsa. Sí, potencialmente podrían morir 16.500 personas”, dijo Barclay.El gobernador de California, Gavin New...Russia’s Putin sits down for talks with Turkish leader Erdogan aimed at reviving the Ukraine grain export deal

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — If there was a silver lining to the U.S. World Cup team losing to Lithuania, it’s this: The Americans now truly know how painful it is to watch another national team line up against a nation that has won four consecutive Olympic gold medals and celebrate in its face.As one might guess, they didn’t enjoy that feeling.And if it happens again at this World Cup, it’ll be much, much worse.Monday was a back-to-reality day for the U.S., one day after its undefeated summer run ended with a 110-104 loss to Lithuania to end the second round of the World Cup. A quarterfinal game against Italy awaits on Tuesday, with the U.S. — like all the teams in the Round of 8 — knowing the only way to win gold in Manila is to win every game the rest of the way.“It makes it real,” U.S. guard Austin Reaves said. “Obviously, now, it’s lose or go home. We see the reactions. We obviously know that everybody wants to beat us in particular. We see the joy that they get from that. That t...Man found dead after climbing at Officers Gulch
