While the founding fathers of the 18th century may seem like men consigned to the history books, one man is living proof America’s creation isn’t as long ago as we might think. He is Harrison Ruffin Tyler, who was born in 1928, and celebrated his 93rd birthday earlier this month at his nursing home in Virginia. While Harrison’s longevity may seem impressive, it’s worth noting his older brother, Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr, passed away only last year at the age of 95, having been born in 1925....

Manchester City took all three points and local bragging rights with a 2-1 win at Old Trafford, goals from David Silva and Nicolas Otamendi coming either side of United’s solitary strike via Marcus Rashford. The victory extends City’s Premier League lead to 11 points, but Mourinho suggested after the final whistle that his team should have received a penalty after Ander Herrera tangled with Otamendi. To Guardiola, however, those criticisms of the match officials sounded strangely familiar, with Mourinho having claimed before the game that City’s players go down too easily under challenges....

Communism is finished in Eastern Europe and faltering in Cuba, but its alive and well, in Maoist form, in the soaring Andes of Peru. Shining Path, composed of anywhere from 36,000 to 10,000 fighters, has plunged the impoverished country into the most savage civil war in the Americas, an 11-year-old struggle that has cost almost 23,000 lives and $18 billion. The third civilian president to face the rebels, Fujimori has fought back with development aid–and acquiesced in counter terror by security forces in martial-law “emergency zones....

Jessica Swadling, 27, said the five adults and three babies vanished from a communal garden she shares with neighbors in Maidstone, the largest town in the county of Kent, England. Swadling said the animals were pets that had never worked in their lives, but thinks since rabbit season is approaching, her beloved ferrets may have been swiped to hunt.

Buttigieg explained that they were following the CDC’s recommendations for crowds, placing audience members far apart. Show staffers were in attendance as was Buttigieg’s husband, Chasten. There were also video cutaways to crowds from previously recorded events. “It’s disappointing,” Buttigieg said, “because as you know, I love to crowd surf.” “When you don’t have a real audience, you have to fake one,” Buttigieg added. “Just like Trump’s inauguration.” Explaining why he dropped out of the presidential race Buttigieg said, “Some candidates know when its time to get out of the race and some candidates are Tulsi Gabbard....

For some, it was difficult not to draw comparisons between Buttigieg’s plan, called “A New Call to Service,” and President Donald Trump’s Independence Day military parade, which he’s calling “A Salute to America.” “The contrast could not be more striking: A narcissistic 73-year-old president who has used his office to enrich himself and his relatives is planning a militaristic, bombastic tribute starring himself (who else?),” wrote Jennifer Rubin in The Washington Post....

Only nine Giants pitchers in Bochy’s nine seasons in San Francisco have appeared in as many as 70 games in a year, and among those only closer Brian Wilson in 2010 and George Kontos in 2015 threw as many as 70 innings. Only four times since 2007 — including Wilson twice before he blew out his elbow — has a Giants reliever thrown as many as 1,200 pitches in a season, something 10 major league relievers did in 2015 alone....

So much for the “watershed moment” this was supposed to be. To be sure, Petraeus and Crocker marked progress in the micro-steps we’ve grown used to hearing about Iraq. While “the progress made since last spring is fragile and reversible,” said Gen. Petraeus, the commander of multinational forces in Iraq, “Al Qaeda-Iraq and a number of other extremist elements have been dealt serious blows, the capabilities of Iraqi Security Force elements have grown, and there has been noteworthy involvement of local Iraqis in local security....
