Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, was the first Democratic president. But the first real campaigner was a popular former general from Tennessee, Andrew Jackson. Even in the 1820s, opposition newspapers pried into the details of his marriage. When he won, Jackson threw a huge party for anyone who wanted to come to the White House. Another general, William Henry Harrison, hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe against the Indians, ran the first “image” campaign in 1840....

The league isn’t going to fine or suspend Redskins defensive lineman Chris Baker for laying out Eagles QB Nick Foles during the runback of an interception that wasn’t an interception.

You can get the starter kit if you don’t already have a Hive Hub. But we assume that if you’re looking at the Hive smart lighting, that you already have Hive installed in your home and thus have the Hub connected to your home network. We tested the £44 Colour changing bulb, and installed it in our existing Hive heating system to see how well it works. (For more on Hive, see our best smart heating systems article....

The Swiss champions proved too hot to handle for the Cristiano Ronaldo-led Italians whose 26-match unbeaten away run going back to November 2017 ended in freezing temperatures in Bern. France forward Hoarau slotted in the first after half an hour from the spot at the Stade de Suisse, blasting in the second after 68 minutes to lift the spirits of his already-eliminated side who finished bottom of the group....

Now a new source of help is at hand. Last week the first book of its kind was published–“Overcoming Compulsive Hoarding” by psychologist Fugen Neziroglu and colleagues at the Bio-Behavioral Institute in Great Neck, N.Y. The book gives a step-by-step approach. (Begin by organizing rather than tossing, and divide the cleanup into manageable tasks.) Neziroglu has no illusions that the book alone will cure people. But it can help sufferers make inroads and may open them to the idea of formal treatment....

“The New York Post has long fostered an ugly, toxic conversation on their front pages and social accounts, but these posts are more disgusting and vile than usual,” Hochul’s campaign said in a statement, posted by press secretary Jen Goodman. “The New York Post needs to immediately explain how this reprehensible content was made public. While the Post has made its preferences very clear in the New York Governor’s race, there is no room for this violent, sexist rhetoric in our politics....

The knockout stage starts with the first crossover game between England (the second-placed team in Pool B) and New Zealand (the third-placed team in Pool A). The winner of the match will get to face the Los Leones – Argentina – in the quarterfinal. Danny Kerry and his troops are currently 7th in the world (as per FIH Rankings). They played well in the Group stage. They drew against a spirited Chinese team in the first match, went on to lose 0-3 against The Kookaburras, and defeated Ireland 4-2 in the third and final pool match....

Firstly, a draw against the higher ranked Belgium team all but assures a top spot finish for India, and a hence a direct entry into the quarter-final. Though both India and Belgium have four points each after two games, with one remaining, India is at the top of this group thanks to a much superior goal difference. India will, of course, have to do well against Canada in their last group game....

Fans of Harry Potter are excited to see the open-world adventure Hogwarts Legacy preparing to launch on next-gen consoles, but the game might mean more for the series than some might immediately assume. Namely, the extended lore of the series reaches deep to the creation of Hogwarts and a long history of combating dark wizards, much of which is mentioned in passing in the original books. One place fans can check to find this background story is through the info-dump website Pottermore that has added to the lore while ironically removing some of the magic from the overall world....

While nearly everyone praised how polished the latest clip of the game looked, it is clear from fan reactions that they were less than happy with the nature of what it showed. The latest trailer showcased the PlayStation-exclusive quest along with additional content. Hogwarts Legacy players have had a steady drip of information over the last month after a long period of relative silence since the gameplay was revealed in a State of Play back in March....

One thing that should be considered is how pitchers performed within their own eras. Jack Morris often was pumped up by his advocates as the best pitcher of the 1980s. The problem with this was that it was not true, and the Baseball Writers’ Association of America recognized this in not voting Morris into the Hall. In fact, from a wins above replacement standpoint, Morris was not among the top 10 pitchers of the 1980s....

It was impossible for the strongest military in the world to secure Iraq’s vast borders. And, as of next month, the job will belong to Fatih and his ragged comrades. The U.S. Army’s Third Armored Cavalry Regiment, which guards 500 miles of rugged semidesert along the Syrian, Saudi and Jordanian borders, is pulling out at the end of the month. Other U.S. Army troops are leaving Iraq, too, including the 101st Airborne Division, which controls 100 miles of the Syrian border and Iraq’s frontier with Turkey....

Over the last two weeks, for example, prognosticators have been saying that Chris Klein’s “Rollerball” would somehow open ahead of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Collateral Damage” this weekend. None of them have even seen the films. With that kind of foresight, shouldn’t these people be out at the races picking ponies? If the seers had the same kind of research at the track that they enjoy at the studios, they just might....

According to research published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, this thawing of the permafrost will result in an increased need for infrastructure repair and replacement, with 38 percent of roads, 39 percent of railways and power lines, and 21 percent of buildings being threatened by permafrost thaw by 2050. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a 970,000 square mile area around five times the size of mainland France, stretching from Western China to Pakistan, that includes areas of Nepal, India, eastern Tajikistan and southern Kyrgyzstan....

Aryan Children I was very upset to read your Special Report on the Nazi “master race” experiment (“Hitler’s Children,” March 20). Although this nonsensical episode of racism took place more than 50 years ago, we have learned nothing from it. The ideology of the “purity” of race and its derivatives like ethnic cleansing are still alive in so-called civilized Western countries. We need to make schoolchildren aware of this atrocity of a murderous dream of pure race that turned into nightmares for mankind....
