It’s not just the Parisians who are going crazy for Gypsy-inspired music. Across the Atlantic, in New York, similar scenes are taking place at the Mehanata Bulgarian Bar on the Lower East Side. The club’s “Gypsy Mania” parties make for some of the most raucous nights in town. From London to Berlin, and Zagreb to the deserts of New Mexico, Gypsy music is this summer’s hottest sound. Even the highbrow and almighty Opéra de Paris decided to get in on the action last month when it presented Bosnian director Emir Kusturica’s punk opera based on his film “Time of the Gypsies....

It’s a win-win for both sides. Molina is still an All-Star level catcher, both with the glove and with his bat, even though he’s in his Age 35 season. And, sure, he’ll probably be a little overpaid during the latter part of this contract extension — he’ll be 38 at the end of the 2020 season — but it’s not like the Cardinals are hurting for money. And the Cardinals get to keep a franchise icon around for far less than it would have cost to keep franchise icon Albert Pujols a couple of years ago....

He had just decided to take a break from cricket shortly after leaving the Mumbai Indians after nine seasons of being their fielding coach and mentor.

The video the president retweeted (and pinned) had been edited to appear like the speaker had been ripping up pages throughout the speech, as if reacting contemptuously to each American credited by name, like Tuskeegee Airman Charles McGee. An official from the speaker’s office has publicly sought to have Facebook and Twitter take down the video, since it’s not depicting something real....

One voice determined to make itself heard was that of Congressman Harold Ford Jr. As Nancy Pelosi prepared for what seemed to be an unstoppable march to the House minority leader’s slot, Ford announced his availability. The play was all the more stunning since it came the very day Martin Frost (convinced of Pelosi’s invincibility) dropped out of the race.
