My father was a retired brigadier general, a World War II veteran of the Battle of the Bulge and the march on Bastogne, who maintained an unfaltering belief in the righteousness of the United States Army and any war it might choose to fight, including Vietnam. I spent the late ’60s and early ’70s marching in and organizing antiwar protests, including the Washington and New York moratorium marches in 1969, and formed a women’s collective to raise money for a bombed-out hospital in North Vietnam....

In 1983, Michel Foucault was immersed in the life of Saint Anthony, the early Christian desert hermit whose regimen of rigorous self-denial had so moved the youthful Augustine that he gave up his lusting ways and converted to Christianity. At the same time, Foucault, perhaps the most influential thinker of his era, was also luxuriating in the leather scene of San Francisco. Paradoxical? No, postmodernist. Through drugs and sadomasochistic eroticism, Foucault was concluding his Nietzschean quest for self-transcendence in a form that mimicked the saint’s equally tortured discipline of the flesh....

Back before Rockstar Games struck gold with Red Dead Redemption and its sequel, the comparatively simplistic predecessor was a solid entry in a very different type of game. Prior to the open-world designs popularized by Grand Theft Auto, Rockstar Games’ brand of western shooters took on an arcade-like gameplay design. Red Dead Revolver was a linear third-person shooter full of arenas and missions rife with various enemy types and challenges....

The well-intentioned but very-much-a-work-in-progress system has generated mixed reviews this season. Most in baseball agree with the basic idea — get as many calls right as possible — but the implementation of the challenge/replay process is a different story. Gone are the days when Earl Weaver or Billy Martin would come charging out of the dugout spewing profanities and venom that would make hardened criminals blush when they disagreed with a call....

The Legends Room store at the New York Yankees' spring training home does not have any of Rodriguez's No. 13 jerseys on sale as the team prepares for its exhibition opener next week. Eight players were represented with white, pinstriped jerseys hanging neatly on rods attached to a wall and available for $139.95 apiece Tuesday. They had the names and numbers of Babe Ruth (3), Mickey Mantle (7), Derek Jeter (2), Ichiro Suzuki (31), Brian McCann (34), Jacoby Ellsbury (22), Carlos Beltran (36) and Masahiro Tanaka (19)....

In the 10th, the A’s slipped another game behind the Angels in the exciting AL West race. Howie Kendrick drove in Albert Pujols with a sacrifice fly in the 10th, and Los Angeles opened a two-game lead atop the major league standings with a 4-3 victory Thursday night. Josh Hamilton had a 10th-inning single as the Angels (80-53) edged Oakland (78-55) to begin a four-game series between the California clubs with the majors’ two best records....

Pyongyang is different from what I anticipated. Recent accounts make it sound like a Potemkin city where every trace of poverty, hunger or infirmity has been carefully shipped off to the countryside. That’s not precisely true: the old and infirm are here, and plenty of human suffering is visible. Yet, even so, you don’t see quite as much of it in Pyongyang as you do in most other Asian cities....

Evidently, the Lakers have already concluded much of their offseason business, although a few further changes could occur ahead of the new campaign. So, as we quickly approach the 19-20 NBA season, here are three things that could happen ahead of opening night. #1 DeMarcus Cousins is released After proving his fitness with the Golden State Warriors, DeMarcus Cousins expected to command a significant payday this summer. However, the 29-year-old failed to generate much interest and eventually signed a one-year $3....

The brothers already felt restless as middle-aged academics, but their heavy gambling began after their beloved mother died. It got worse after the death of their less-beloved father. He’d left them each about $150,000, and in three months most of it was gone, “as if the loss and guilt were too much to bear and the money was also too much to bear.” Their account hardly ends on a redemptive note....

It’s no secret that Lost Ark has a major bot problem, and the developers have been going to great lengths to curtail the growing bot population with increased security and more restrictions on new accounts. As a free-to-play game, it’s all too easy for scammers and farmers to get into the game and disrupt the economy and player base with little risk on their own part. In what appears to be a draconian measure to somehow protect the game from bad actors, Lost Ark has gone even further with this latest move....
