In the intense war of words over the Israel-Gaza war, a particular phrase has popped up repeatedly. At protests, on fliers and in some mainstream publications, it is common to see Israel described — or more likely, assailed — as a “settler-colonial” state.The concept of settler colonialism originates in academia, where its use has surged over the past two decades, whether in case studies of particular places or sweeping master narratives that purport to explain everything since Columbus. It has also been widely taken up on the activist left, invoked in discussions of gentrification, environmental degradation, financial capitalism and other…

Coco Gauff enters the field midway through the day. The stadium is half full, if that's the case. So far it mostly takes care of its core business in just over an hour. A couple of TV interviews follow his warm-up. Not much more. Sometimes there are only two or three journalists at his press conferences. In the evening, as she wanders the streets of Melbourne on her way to dinner, she is barely noticed, regardless of the fact that she is wearing a baseball hat and sunglasses. “Definitely more relaxation,” Gauff said the other day about his experience at…

BALTIMORE — They told anyone who would listen that this was a different team, that they had learned from past playoff failures, that they were "stuck" in making a Super Bowl. Then, during the first 30 minutes of football on Saturday on a frigid late afternoon in Baltimore, they looked like the playoff Ravens of recent times.Their offensive was confused and overwhelmed by the blitz. Their presumptive MVP quarterback, Lamar Jackson, looked frustrated. Their special teams gave up Game-changing punt return touchdown. The Houston Texans might as well have been the 2018 Los Angeles Chargers, the 2019 Tennessee Titans, or…

For those who know Jason and Travis Kelce best, there’s a familiar quality when listening to “New Heights,” the duo’s wildly popular podcast that launched in the fall of 2022. “It’s awesome because I can turn it on and it feels like I’m back in college hanging out with them,” said Craig Carey, a longtime friend and former teammate of both. “I’m not surprised at how successful it is because I lived it.”The Kelce brothers grew up together in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, less than two years apart in age. But the seeds of their already legendary NFL careers were planted…

The gift and the book itself are fictional. The 2021 film, directed by Pablo Larraín, also starts from the idea that where there is a martyr there must be a monster. Elizabeth is a freeze-dried witch, Charles a snarling moralist. Perhaps to avoid accusations of defamation, the filmmakers identify their story, in an introductory caption, as “a fairy tale based on a true tragedy.”A fairy tale and a tragedy, I grant you: the famous plot of Diana's story, if not her unknown soul, is Grimm itself.But the word “true” is nowhere near “Spencer.” No reliable story has suggested, for example,…

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Almost nothing about Tara VanDerveer’s home would imply a basketball coach, let alone one who is about to become the winningest college basketball coach ever, has resided there for nearly 30 years. The muted yellow walls and decor — several large framed florals painted years ago by a friend — are tasteful but minimal. The coffee table books are mostly National Geographic travel tomes.Her home gym displays some memorabilia, but the only room that might truly give it away is her “office,” a generous term as it more closely resembles a windowless walk-in closet. But this…
