Viceroy Hotels and Resorts For those in search of a quick winter getaway, ski resorts across the country are open and most are fully operating. This comes as great news to jet-setting ski buffs, as lifts in France and Italy have yet to open and Switzerland has banned entry to most countries. An even greater

Sixty to 70 percent of the articles were written by the FBI. So yeah, it’s total course-correction. It’s counterpropaganda. What specific inaccuracies were you looking to address?

Can you believe the Weeknd’s gotten this far? When Abel Tesfaye released the massively influential House of Balloons nearly ten years ago, he was cloaked in anonymity and cool. Now he’s amassed a catalog loaded with hits, he’s appearing in critically acclaimed films and not embarrassing himself, he’s collaborating with modern-day avant-garde luminaries, he’s on

Even if you were able to accept the split rationally, as an amicable parting of ways, there’s still this hard truth to swallow: The Patriots didn’t pay to keep Brady around. They let him walk, only to turn around and see that his 43-year-old revenge body was just fine without them, pliable enough to make
