The Dutchman has received significant criticism in recent months following United’s underwhelming performances, even if it sits third in the Premier League table, just one point off the pace, and has qualification for the Champions League knockout stages in its own hands. MORE: 16 more charged in FIFA corruption crackdown Van Gaal is confident he still has the backing of the players, though, and has made it clear he would immediately throw in the towel if he felt that was no longer the case....

But the battle of personification will assume a different and more sympathetic visage in the years to come. Perhaps the change in the weather was best illustrated when conservative Sen. Strom Thurmond invoked his own daughter to explain a position opposed by the anti-abortion forces. The senator’s daughter has diabetes. The actor Michael J. Fox has Parkinson’s disease. Christopher Reeve is in a wheelchair because of a spinal-cord injury, Ronald Reagan locked in his own devolving mind by Alzheimer’s....

Elephant shrews, which evolved in Africa some 100 million years ago and have never left the continent, are so named because of their long, flexible snouts. (Ironically, genetic analysis has recently found that they are actually more closely related to elephants than to shrews; other kinfolk include sea cows and aardvarks.) Scientists knew of 15 species, but now Galen Rathbun of the California Academy of Sciences and collaborators have found a 16th, as they report in The Journal of Zoology....

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo is close to completing a deal with Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment regarding an animated Super Mario Bros. movie. Sources tell the publication that these talks have been ongoing for over a year. The film is in the “early stages of development” and will not be released for “several years.” Illumination Entertainment is best known for creating the Despicable Me and Minions movie franchises....

The Meridian tragedy raises some troubling questions not just for Lockheed, but for any company with a disturbed and angry employee in its ranks (there have been other such shootings, like the one at a millwork factory in Goshen, Ind., in 2001 that left two dead and six wounded). In Williams’s case, his supervisors at Lockheed ordered him to attend a two-week anger-management course after he threatened a co-worker in 2001 and, more recently, sent him home when he donned a bootee on his head that looked like a Ku Klux Klan hood....

““Interesting theater,’’ Clinton observed to an aide as the meeting broke up. But his staffers, gathered around TV sets in their offices, rendered a less restrained verdict with whoops of delight and high-fives. Their take: that Clinton’s performance masterfully undercut those who argue that his China policy is ““all carrots’’ and papers over Beijing’s human-rights abuses. With the clamor of anti-Jiang demonstrations audible even on the South Lawn, his aides say that Clinton demonstrated perfect political pitch....

Levitt wasn’t alone in expressing early doubt at the idea of pardoning Rich, who was charged with evading $48 million in taxes and trading with Iran during the 1979 hostage crisis. White House lawyers were concerned that the grounds for a pardon were shaky at best, and would only lead to trouble. In the end, Clinton ignored them all. But why? The former president, in New York exile, has insisted that he granted the pardon strictly on the “merits,” after hearing convincing pleas from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Rich’s well-connected attorney, former White House counsel Jack Quinn....

The Frye Retirement Community, with its elegant library and fireplace, hallways lined with Romare Bearden prints and services that include a personal trainer for each of the 150 residents, felt like the “ahead” Chambers had strived her whole life to attain. “I was so excited that someone in our community thought enough about the elderly to build a place like this,” says the 69-year-old former social-service aide. “I would pray, ‘God, you know I want this’....

But my excitement wasn’t very long-lived. For us, victory seemed very, very distant because Jerusalem was surrounded. From [Jerusalem’s] Old City I heard a Jewish girl’s voice on the radio saying, “We are going to surrender! Please tell us how to surrender!” It made me ill to hear such words. How can it be that our forces are surrendering? When a girl is saying those words it’s even more impressive....

Suda reflects a worrisome trend in Japan; the automobile is losing its emotional appeal, particularly among the young, who prefer to spend their money on the latest electronic gadgets. While minicars and luxury foreign brands are still popular, everything in between is slipping. Last year sales fell 6.7 percent—7.6 percent if you don’t count the minicar market. There have been larger one-year drops in other nations: sales in Germany fell 9 percent in 2007 thanks to a tax hike....

No matter. Israeli leader Ehud Barak has already marked a new date on his calendar: Oct. 30. That’s the day Israeli lawmakers return from their summer recess for a fresh round of voting on a bill to bring down Barak’s government. If no peace agreement is reached by then, Barak, to ensure his political survival, will have to buttress his coalition with opponents of his peace offer to the Palestinians, including the ultra-Orthodox Shas party and possibly the main opposition, Likud....

On the page, Carr is a bellicose companion. In person, he’s no less fervent but a lot jollier. Lean and longhaired, this boyish-looking 46-year-old makes it clear that it’s not easy being a Renaissance man. “People want one thing from each person and nothing else,” he says with a shrug. Carr’s reputation rests on “The Alienist” and its sequel, “The Angel of Darkness,” best-selling psychological mysteries set in New York City in the 1890s....

The first indicator is the national environment. Polls show voters of all kinds, especially late deciders, cite inflation, the generally poor state of the economy, and the rise in violent crime as the reasons they intend to vote. It’s hard to imagine any of those issues working to the benefit of the Democrats. The price of essentials like food, rising on an annualized basis of 8 percent, has outstripped wage gains....

I watched in dismay as I helped the Ted Cruz presidential campaign, seeing Republican primary voters select Donald Trump out of a field of 16 viable candidates and make him president-elect. I signed an open letter committing to “working energetically to prevent the election of someone so utterly unfitted” to the presidency and wrote many articles lambasting Trump. I left the Republican Party on his nomination and voted for Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson in the general election....

Whenever Rodriguez, who turns 41 in July, decides to retire from baseball, Girardi believes he’ll have a future as a coach or instructor sooner rather than later. MORE: A look back at A-Rod’s turbulent career “I think Alex would probably prefer to manage, if he was going to do anything, because I think he likes all the strategy of the game,” Girardi said Tuesday, via MLB.com, after the Yankees lost 1-0 to the Marlins in an exhibition game....
