Gates downplayed Operation Warp Speed’s role in pushing companies to develop a U.S. vaccine safely in record time, telling CNN Sunday the first two mRNA vaccines have had “backing for quite some time.” The billionaire said Pfizer and Gates Foundation partner BioNTech “did not take government money” and that Moderna received financial support before the creation of Operation Warp Speed, back when it was “just called BARDA,” or Biomedical Advanced Research and Development....

Bruins great Bill Walton was on the team that incurred the loss, and he has not forgotten about it, even if the Bruins exacted revenge a week later by beating the Irish to regain the No. 1 ranking. In the second half of Thursday’s broadcast of the UCLA-Arizona game, one in which the Bruins lost, Walton let the former Notre Dame coach and his fellow ESPN broadcaster have it as Walton’s play-by-play partner on this night, Dave Pasch, alluded to that Bruins loss 40 years ago....

Earlier on Tuesday, the team's website had published an incomplete post about Marrone's health, one that quickly went viral and threw a major scare into NFL circles. The post had the headline, "Coach Marrone announces he has cancer," and included a line that he was "diagnosed with BLANK cancer" and that it was "highly treatable." Apparently it was a draft of a story the site was preparing - one that, if Marrone is being fully transparent, was incredibly premature....

He admitted Wednesday he “used a poor choice of words” when saying he doesn’t “think humans are supposed to play” the game. Whaley was responding to a question about the durability of wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who broke his foot earlier this month and dealt with a calf injury in 2015 and an ankle injury last year. The rookie season of Buffalo’s first-round draft pick, defensive end Shaq Lawson, is also in doubt after Lawson suffered a shoulder injury last week....

Speaking at the airport in New Castle, Delaware after he flew back from a campaign trip to Minnesota, the former vice president paid tribute to the Supreme Court justice who died aged 87. Biden, who presided over Ginsburg’s confirmation hearing in 1993 when he was chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, described her as a “fierce and unflinching” civil rights advocate. But he told reporters that the initial focus should be on her loss and legacy, not on her immediate replacement....

The package is part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative first established in 2016 and the Defense Department said Friday it will include “training, equipment, and advisory efforts to help Ukraine’s forces preserve the country’s territorial integrity, secure its borders, and improve interoperability with NATO,” the 30-nation Western military alliance with which Kyiv has partnered—but not yet been admitted—as it struggles with a pro-Moscow insurgency along the eastern border....

“[Biden] continues to believe that this can be, should be and will be a bipartisan bill that gets support from Democrats and Republicans,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Thursday. “He’s having conversations with and listening to leaders and members of both parties to assure that we get to exactly that.” The White House’s continued push for bipartisanship came just hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, echoing comments from U....

Next up: the rest of the big, bad SEC. Go ahead and search the SEC, no team has a bigger upside right now than the team that, three weeks ago, hadn’t won a conference game in two seasons. “We’ve got better every game,” Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said in the post-game broadcast on CBS. “I think we can play with anybody out there.” The same guy who was laughed at when he arrived in the SEC from the Big Ten with his Maul Ball style now has a vise grip on the best conference in college football....

After winning their first match of the season, Brisbane would want to build on their new found momentum against their opponents if they are to break into the top half of the table.

At 6 feet 4 and 265 pounds, Daunte, 23, is the largest quarterback in NFL history. He has played quarterback since a youth-football coach saw him gathering up footballs downfield and hurling them back effortlessly. “I’ve never thought of my size as a hindrance,” Culpepper says. In fact, it’s his size, coupled with great speed for a big man (he runs a 40 in 4.5 seconds), that’s made him the game’s premier pass-and-run threat....

Why do we have different China policies? To begin with, the fact that there are lots of Chinas means that some of them are more attractive to us than others, some easier (or so we think) to understand and get along with. The situation with regard to China today is not unlike the mixed American attitudes toward the British Empire in the first half of the 20th century–mixed because there were, in reality, several British Empires....
