Ron Chernow’s absorbing, exhaustively researched “Alexander Hamilton” justifies his claim that Hamilton’s was “the most dramatic and improbable life among the founding fathers.” Hamilton grew up poor, illegitimate and orphaned on the Caribbean island of Nevis, served as an artillery officer in the American Revolution and was picked by Washington as his top military aide. He became Washington’s Treasury secretary, in effect, ran his administration and endured the nation’s first political sex scandal–lured into an affair and blackmailed by the woman’s husband....

Ocasio-Cortez joined more than a dozen House members in a visit to detention centers in Texas on Monday. The trip was organized by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus following news reports of inhumane living conditions at some facilities. After leaving the first detention center, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that she could “see why CBP officers were being so physically & sexually threatening towards me.” Hours before her visit, ProPublica reported that a secret Facebook group for current and former Border Patrol agents posted a vulgar drawing showing her engaged in oral sex with a detained migrant....

The Arsenal star was flanked by his best friend, and his agent Fernando Felicevich was also present, with United having made the arrangements to charter the aircraft. Alexis will earn around £14 million a year with United, making him one of the best-paid players in Premier League history, with agent fees expected to reach the £10m mark. The transfer taking the Chilean to Old Trafford will see Henrikh Mkhitaryan heading in the opposite direction and Goal understands the deal will be a straight swap, with no cash incentives involved....

Alexis smashes Chile record Sanchez’s sixth-minute strike against Germany, taking advantage of a mistake from Gunners team-mate Shkodran Mustafi, made him Chile’s outright record goalscorer, passing Marcelo Salas to reach 38 international goals. Eduardo Vargas then hit the crossbar for Pizzi’s men, but Lars Stindl struck for the second consecutive game before half-time, which proved to be the final goal of a 1-1 draw in Kazan that leaves both sides waiting to secure their progress to the semi-finals....

Alinity noticed her mistake the moment she made it and has seemed to take ownership of her mistake. Alinity imposed her own three-day suspension on herself, and the streaming platform followed up with a 24-hour ban.

There is no doubt that if Ederson and Alisson were from different nationalities or different generations altogether, both of them would be the first choices for their national team. But in a twist of fate, Brazilian national coach Tite has had to choose one over another to represent the Selecao. It is highly debatable about who is better between the two, as Ederson won the Premier League with Manchester City while Alisson was crowned as a European Champion with Liverpool, this past season....

When that’s done, they will then be able to turn in their points for special prizes.

Before diving into the intel locations for Call of Duty: Warzone’s New Threats mission, it is worth mentioning that players can only complete one step per match. That is particularly relevant this week, as several of the intel are located very near to one another, and some fans may be tempted to try to collect them without first exiting Verdansk. However, it is simply not possible to do this, and players will need to redeploy between each of the following steps....

His clash against the nWo bestowed him with unparalleled fame. When the days of WCW were numbered, it was believed that he would join Vince McMahon’s promotion like other top stars. Instead, Sting went into TNA. He persisted there for a substantial time and proved himself yet again. But destiny had ordained that The Icon would compete in WWE, and so it happened. At Survivor Series 2014, Team Cena battled it out against Team Authority....

In fact, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 already has a substantial roster of operators to choose from, this selection is only going to grow further still. By the looks of it, Season 1 will greatly expand the game’s list of cosmetics, and an extremely wide variety of operator skins should provide players with even more options for their multiplayer Call of Duty adventures.

According to a paper published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin, three quarters of fish caught off the coast of southern New Zealand contained some degree of microplastic in their tissues. Microplastics are tiny fragments of plastic defined as being less than 0.2 inches in diameter. “75% of fish that I sampled had ingested microplastic. I sampled fish over a two-year period, throughout all seasons, along the south-east coastline of southern Aotearoa (New Zealand), from Oamaru to Te Waewae Bay,” coastal scientist and lead author of the study, Isabella Clere, told Newsweek....

She was joined by the state’s chief medical officer, Dr. Anne Zink, and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium leader Valerie Davidson.

Smith was arrested at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, where he was flying into the city, where he lives. Authorities say they recognized him in the footage because he had already been considered a suspect in an unconnected case, according to a police spokesman.

The 23-year-old joined Barcelona from Valencia ahead of the 2016-17 campaign as the Catalans looked to add some more depth to their attack. Alcacer has struggled to make much of an impact, though, with Luis Enrique only sparingly using the forward due to the presence of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar. He once more had to settle for a spot on the bench in the 4-1 win over Granada on Sunday, even though Messi was unavailable due to suspension....

Baldwin posted a tweet to his now-private account on Instagram Monday morning. “Every film/TV set that uses guns, fake or otherwise, should have a police officer on set, hired by the production, to specifically monitor weapons safety,” he wrote. Some Instagram users took to the comments to disagree with the actor, saying police would not be the best way to ensure weapons safety. “Not just a police officer, Alex, but a certified/licensed firearms instructor who is certified in that or multiple specific weapons platforms,” wrote @aardwolfintl....
