Hard-core Clinton obsessives must already have heard all this stuff, since Eszterhas apparently did no reporting (and certainly no footnoting); like everybody else, he seems to have gotten his facts and gossip from TV, books, magazines and the Web. What he brings to the party is his creative je ne sais quoi: Eszterhas, after all, is no mere sleaze, but the guy who wrote the screenplays for “Showgirls” and “Basic Instinct....

Like mutual funds, ETFs are baskets of securities. Buy one share, and get a piece of everything that’s in the basket. Typically they mimic stock indexes, though some are based on bond indexes. The most popular and well-known ETFs are Spiders (SPY), which track the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, and Cubes (QQQ), which track the top 100 NASDAQ stocks. Some ETFs track narrow sectors of the market. Unlike mutual funds, they trade like stocks all day long, so you can buy when the price is right....

While the bank remains powerful and prestigious in the developing world-it will lend more than $18 billion this year-it has become less and less relevant to the world’s poor (chart).

After Eastern Europe’s Communist governments collapsed in 1989, the European Community insisted on starting a separate institution to help the region recover from four decades of misrule....

Viva, a female from a nearby group, is a social pariah. When she approaches her fellow baboons, they often lunge at her threateningly or raise their eyebrows, flashing the pale pigment of their eyelids, to scare her off. She’s also been less fortunate in childbirth. In 18 years, she’s delivered eight children, but only four have survived. One of the biggest cliches in psychology is that in times of crisis, women turn to friends, while men either withdraw or curse and gesticulate....

Montella’s side won 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Doha, Gianluigi Donnarumma making a crucial spot-kick save from Paulo Dybala, who had blazed a gilt-edged chance over the bar towards the end of extra time. Milan sit fifth in the Serie A table, having picked up a solitary point from six available before the winter break. And Montella, who masterminded a 1-0 win over the five-time defending Italian champions Juve in October, hopes this latest success is just the beginning for his youthful side....

Donnarumma misjudged Gabriel Paletta’s firm backpass, allowing the ball to squeeze under his foot and over the line to hand the struggling hosts the lead, with Mario Pasalic rescuing a 1-1 draw for Milan, who remain in seventh place. WATCH: Donnarumma makes rare howler The 18-year-old’s first appearance since becoming Italy’s youngest starting goalkeeper will be remembered for the howler and Montella offered some cold comfort, suggesting it would have been quickly forgotten had his side gone on to win....

Shabalov, a 44-year-old former paratrooper and KGB man, is one of the officials who has found himself catapulted into the spotlight over questions about how Russian forces used disabling gas to rescue the more than 800 people held by Chechen separatists.

“A documented white nationalist has no place in any presidential administration, and especially not in such an influential position,” the representatives wrote Thursday in a letter to President Donald Trump. “Miller’s white supremacist influence on your immigration policy, and it seems like that his perfidious adherence to extremist ideology has shaped your administration in ways that are not yet public.” [Read the full letter below.] The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) published a report last week that analyzed more than 900 e-mails Miller sent to Breitbart editors while he was an aide to former Sen....
