  • Woods, Brady win a TV charity match as good as real thing

    Updated May 24, 2020

    DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer Tom Brady delivered the shot of the match that made it easy to forget the rest of his swings. Tiger Woods didn't miss a fairway and earned a small measure of revenge against Phil Mickelson. The PGA Tour is set to return in just over two weeks, and it has a tough act to follow. In the second and final charity match that brought live golf to TV, this exhibition was as entertaining as the real thing. Woods lagged a long birdie putt close enough that his partner, Peyton Manning, didn't have to putt....

    Updated May 24, 2020

    MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - The first astronauts launched by SpaceX are breaking new ground for style with hip spacesuits, gull-wing Teslas and a sleek rocketship - all of it white with black trim. The color coordinating is thanks to Elon Musk, the driving force behind both SpaceX and Tesla, and a big fan of flash and science fiction. NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken like the fresh new look. They'll catch a ride to the launch pad in a...

  • Kumail Nanjiani is finding his way through 'The Weirds'

    Updated May 24, 2020

    JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Kumail Nanjiani has a few names for quarantine life. He has divided time firmly between "pre-Hanks/Wilson" and "post-Hanks/Wilson," referring to the early COVID-19 diagnosis for Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. And he has settled on calling the strange, bewildering days of lockdown "The Weirds." This applies to all the confusion and just plain odd parts of life since the pandemic began. Like when Nanjiani was on "Good Morning America" last...

One was a Vietnam veteran who lost his leg overseas and was always touched when people thanked him for his service. Another was drafted into the military at 18 and won a Purple Heart.

    Updated May 24, 2020

He's asking voters to look past the pain being felt across the nation and give him another four-year term on the promise of an economic comeback in 2021. "It's a transition to g...

    Updated May 24, 2020

    JILL LAWLESS Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Sunday he wouldn't fire his chief aide for allegedly violating the national lockdown rules that he helped to create by driving the length of England to his parents' house while he was infected with the coronavirus.

    Updated May 23, 2020

    Updated May 23, 2020

    JORGE LEBRIJA and MARIA VERZA Associated Press TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) - Adrián Alonso Gama lived life on both sides of the border, until he got the coronavirus. On weekends the 37-year-old truck driver would stay at his parents' home in Tijuana.

Last week, Gama started feeling sick and returned to Mexico to be close to family. He...

  • As Native Americans fight virus, basketball takes a timeout

    Updated May 23, 2020

    JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer PHOENIX (AP) - Basketball is woven into the fabric of Native American life.

Players and fans may travel hundreds of miles to play and watch games of "Rez ball," the fast-paced, no-shot-is-a-bad-one version of hoops played by Native Americans. The game also brings already tight communities even...

    Updated May 23, 2020

    BRIAN MELLEY Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — While most of California welcomed more places to eat, shop and play this holiday weekend, Los Angeles did not join the party. The nation's most populous county is not planning to reopen more widely until the next summer holiday, July 4th, because it has a disproportionately large share of the state's coronavirus cases and can't meet even new, relaxed state standards for allowing additional businesses and recreational activities. Los Angeles County, with a quarter of the s...

    Updated May 23, 2020

    AAMER MADHANI and ASHRAF KHALIL Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser's cellphone rang earlier this week from an unfamiliar number: It was the White House calling to say President Donald Trump wanted to talk. The president congratulated Washington's mayor on $876 million in federal coronavirus relief going to the Washington-area Metro system — money that was welcome but not under the mayor's jurisdiction, instead going to a regional transportation authority. Bowser used the moment to rem...
