In the aftermath of a disastrous defeat in a war with Azerbaijan last autumn, Robert Kocharyan, the country’s authoritarian second president and a personal friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has emerged as the main contender against Nikol Pashinyan, the embattled leader of Armenia’s “Velvet Revolution” and the acting prime minister. If Kocharyan wins, it is likely that Armenia’s fragile and hard-won democratic gains will not survive. Pashinyan, a former journalist who came to power after leading a campaign of peaceful civil disobedience in April 2018, has earned plaudits from international observers for his sweeping reforms which aimed at eradicating corruption, establishing the rule of law and strengthening democracy....

The video opens with onscreen text reading, “In the modern era, political smear campaigns are not new. In 1991, Justice Clarence Thomas was smeared.” This is followed by footage of Thomas testifying before the Senate in 1991, after being accused of sexually harassing Anita Hill. The footage cuts to Moore speaking at a press conference, calling the accusations against himself “fake news.” “In 2017, they smeared Judge Roy Moore,” onscreen text says....

Bouchard, appearing on CNN’s Don Lemon Tonight, stated that he was angered at the lack of communication between the prosecutor’s office and the sheriff’s department in trying to track down Jennifer and James Crumbley, who have not been able to be located by law enforcement. They have been labeled fugitives. Bouchard then used a football analogy to explain the disconnect. “It’s like, let’s call a prosecutor a quarterback for a moment, and you just throw the football down in the end zone without telling the receiver where to go or that it’s coming,” Bouchard said....

The nation’s booming international tourism industry includes a famous Red Light District, despite a 1960 law that made prostitution illegal. Police mostly keep the peace and crack down on human trafficking. They’re also on the lookout for child prostitutes.

The industry boomed during the Vietnam War when American soldiers would travel to Thailand during their time off....

“A brisk autumn breeze drowned out the words of the brief graveside service in which folded American flags were presented to relatives of the fallen soldiers.” The Indianapolis Star reports $1 million in state funding used to aid the families of Indiana soldiers deployed overseas is sitting largely untapped. The Military Family and Relief Fund is partially supported by the sale of “Hoosier Veteran” specialty license plates. According to the paper, the state matches sales of these plates up to $450,000 a year....

After dismissing his own bid to buy the Buffalo Bills, it appears not only is Donald Trump’s bid to purchase the Buffalo Bills alive and doing well, it may be one of only two bids moving forward in buying the Bills from The Ralph Wilson Trust. Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula and his wife also reportedly have been named as finalists. The Toronto group led by Jon Bon Jovi reportedly fell apart in the last few days....

The answer: culture. What families viewed as the cause of seizures, and how providers talked about these causes, were better predictors of the treatments they sought than distance to a health facility, cost of treatment, or their awareness that were anti-epilepsy drugs. Families with strong beliefs that nyagu (spirits) or majini (curses) caused epilepsy were more likely to seek traditional treatment from an mganga (traditional healer) and less likely to use biomedical treatment....

Rajiv Gandhi, who served disappointingly as prime minister from 1984 to 1989, was waging a brave even reckless-comeback campaign as Indians started voting last week. “One more chance for Congress, and I will change everything,” he promised. Then he arrived at the town of Sriperumbudur in the troubled southern state of Tamil Nadu. With almost no protection, he plunged into a crowd of well-wishers. A small, dark woman stepped forward and bowed deeply before him....

As Indian American professors at San José State University, who have given the best of ourselves to the United States, we implore you to take seriously what is happening in India. Our Indian American personas and Indian hearts reel in shock, eyes sting with tears and our feelings lie in tatters as we bear witness, helplessly from afar, to our families’ rising death and sickness tolls. In material evidence of a new rock bottom, our aging parents now urge us “not to come” should the worst happen and if they succumb to the dreadful double mutant known as B....
