Prosecutors upgraded Sanchez’s case to a felony battery charge carrying up to six years and $10,000...
In London, the Jets squandered a late first-half chance. Breece Hall’s fourth-and-1 fake punt moved the chains, but timeouts, a run and a sack drained the clock; they let it expire, and the Broncos led 10-6. Using the timeout wiped out a Hail Mary try, and Garrett Wilson was seen...
At 89, former Justice Anthony Kennedy reflects on a life in law as his memoir, Life, Law & Liberty, arrives Tuesday from Simon & Schuster. The onetime Supreme Court swing vote recounts his Western roots, a fast rise from Sacramento practice to the 9th Circuit at 38, and cases that...
