PARIS — This city comes alive at night. Its pulse quickens as the museums empty out and the restaurants fill, the people crowding into bistros in the Latin Quarter, or the Marais or up on the hill near Sacre Couer. As evening falls, the 7th Arrondisement becomes the center as the Eiffel Tower begins to glow. It sparkles on the hour and — on most nights — shows the city’s heartbeat.
Friday was different. On this night, the light, the energy, the blood came from the southwestern part of the…
PARIS — The biggest game of the Women’s World Cup happens here Friday night, a mouthwatering quarterfinal between France and the United States. It is the uber-talented hosts against the best team on the planet. It is a showdown, a prizefight, a classic. It is the type of match that, played to its peak, might well define a tournament.
Just not this time.
Not this time, not at this tournament, not at an event where so, so many players from so, so many teams have decided to use this moment, the most…
Las Vegas police say their investigation of Cristiano Ronaldo rape allegations remains open.
The woman accusing Cristiano Ronaldo of raping her has shifted the venue for her legal charges against the soccer superstar, dropping her case in Nevada state court but filing identical charges against Ronaldo in federal court, according to her attorney.
Several news media outlets reported early Wednesday that the charges filed by Kathryn Mayorga, who alleges that Ronaldo raped her in 2009, had been “quietly dropped,” implying that the case was over.
But Larissa Drohobyczer, who is one of Mayorga’s…
Cedella Marley, director of the Bob Marley foundation and the musician’s oldest daughter, tells Sam Borden how she found out about the Reggae Girlz and what she did to save them from financial troubles. A piece of paper in the backpack of Bob Marley’s grandson.
See, that’s how this all began. One afternoon in 2014, Cedella Marley, Bob’s eldest daughter with his wife Rita, was handed a flier by her son, Skip, after he came home from school. The flier was from Skip’s soccer coach, and it asked parents to consider donating money to resurrect Jamaica’s women’s soccer team.
Cedella was startled. She lives outside Miami but is still royalty in Jamaica, leading Tuff Gong, the record label her father started,…
Ronaldo was accused in September of raping an American woman in Las Vegas back in 2009. Police have since reopened the investigation.
ON A WARM October day in Las Vegas, we slip our car into a parking lot wedged between two buildings, then push open the door to the lawyer’s office. My colleague, Nicole Noren, and I figure this will be simple. We are in Nevada reporting on the rape allegations against Cristiano Ronaldo, and we want to meet Ronaldo’s attorneys, as well as the lawyers representing Kathryn Mayorga, the woman accusing him.
Normally, this sort of meeting is pretty straightforward for journalists. Lawyers, particularly…

NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia — Three quick thoughts from France’s 2-0 win over Uruguay to reach the World Cup semifinals.
1. France are closing in on glory
Two years after losing the European championships final on home soil, France is now just two wins from claiming an even bigger prize.
