Clark sets the standard

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Wyndham Clark keeps leaving his mark on Shinnecock Hills. He finished off the lowest opening round in a U.S. Open on this fearsome course Friday morning, and then he delivered two big birdie putts and set the 36-hole standard and build a four-shot lead going into the weekend. With so much chaos and cringing around him, Clark played a steady hand — a far cry from where he was at the U.S. Open last year when he missed the cut and smashed up a locker at storied Oakmont. His last act was a 35-foot birdie putt down the slope on the 18th green that dropped for ...

U.S. knocks out Australia

SEATTLE (AP) — Christian Pulisic's injury absence didn't hurt the Americans one bit. The U.S. national soccer team found a way to advance to the knockout round without the injured forward on the field, beating Australia 2-0 Friday for its second straight victory at the largest World Cup in history. "C.P. is a fantastic player — the quality and the leadership that he gives us," said Folarin Balogun, who scored two goals in the 4-1 victory over Paraguay on June 12. "We didn't have him today, but I think you saw we're still capable to go out there and get a result and put up a ...

A Republic or an empire?

The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, embraces two value sets. The first is natural rights, and the second is limited government. After 250 years, neither value has survived, and the opposite of each currently prevails in America. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration in three days while staying at a rooming house in Philadelphia. He had been greatly influenced by the British philosopher John Locke. Locke is the godfather of the theory of natural rights, which he extrapolated from the natural law teachings of Aristotle, Augustine and Aquinas. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) ...

A peace worse than the war

President Donald Trump started a war with Iran, and now he is ending it on terms worse than the status quo he inherited. That is the plain shape of what happened, however the White House dresses it up. The war came at a price -- lost lives, oil markets convulsing, allies rattled and an economic shock that rippled from Tehran to global commodity prices. Now, we are giving up. The ending arrives as a memorandum of understanding, signed on Sunday, whose full text the administration was conspicuously slow to publish. When a deal is good, you release the text. When you guard it, you are ...

Guardians can’t escape injury bug

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Cleveland outfielder Chase DeLauter has become the latest Guardians position player to go on the injured list. The team announced the move before Wednesday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The rookie fractured a rib on his right side Saturday when he collided with the outfield wall. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt expressed optimism that DeLauter could return after the required 10 days on the IL. "We just felt it was best with where he is injury-wise, let's give it 10 days so he can be 100% on the other end of the 10 days and be ready to go," Vogt ...
