Jim Cramer has spent months giving mixed signals on Axon Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ:AXON). While he regularly praises the company's law enforcement products, he has repeatedly warned that the stock costs too much. That caution finally turned into a pass during the August 6 episode of Mad Money when a caller asked about buying the post-earnings pullback:
No, no, I don't want to touch it. It's only down 8%, but it's been an amazing performance for so many years. The stock's had too big a run; I want to move elsewhere.
Before telling investors to look elsewhere in August, Cramer had flagged valuation and competitive friction earlier in the year. During the May 15 episode of Mad Money, a caller asked about a long-term position held since 2015. While acknowledging a strong management presentation that lifted the shares that day, Cramer pointed to lingering hurdles:
Well, they had, you know, Axon was on today. I thought they acquitted themselves, which is why I think why the stock was up three bucks. I have been, we were very worried about Motorola competition when we met with them when we were up at Harvard Business School. I am still concerned about that, and I still think that this market does not like high multiple stocks, and Axon is a high multiple stock.
Cramer expanded on that valuation tension during the June 3 episode. When a shareholder asked whether to buy more, sell, or hold, he advised maintaining the existing position strictly on product quality, while warning that the price-to-earnings multiple left little room for error:

Chrissy Metz is opening up about her decision to start taking a GLP-1.
In a new interview with People, the This Is Us alum, 45, said that after years of trying different diets and fitness routines that didn't work, she opted for weight loss medication.
"I just wanted to take care of myself," Metz said.
"I'm not getting any younger. I'm in perimenopause, and there were obesity issues within my family and with my father, and I felt like I've tried so many modalities, whether it was diets or therapy, and none of it really worked for me," she continued.
Metz was skeptical at first, however, about starting a GLP-1, which, per the Cleveland Clinic, are "medications that help lower blood sugar levels and promote weight loss." In addition to being worried that the popular weight loss drugs wouldn't work for her, Metz was scared she would experience some of the horrible side effects often **** ociated with taking the medication, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation, per Harvard Health.

Tyler Perry has quietly changed another life through his philanthropy—this time helping a student turn a Harvard dream into reality.
Janay Duberry, a graduate of Tuskegee University, revealed to People that Perry paid the remaining balance of her tuition at Harvard Graduate School of Education after financial aid still left her with a significant gap. The aspiring educator and writer shared the news in a series of emotional Instagram posts, explaining that Perry's generosity removed the final obstacle standing between her and graduate school.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
"After years of writing, building, networking, and earning my degree at Tuskegee University, I was accepted into Harvard," Duberry wrote. "Harvard gave me generous financial aid, but I still faced a significant financial gap and did not know how I would make this dream a reality."
She said that changed when Perry stepped in.

Jon Scheyer isn't afraid of challenging his team with a difficult non-conference schedule. The Duke head coach hopes that the tough matchups early in the season will prepare his squad for ACC and tournament play, and once again, he's loaded up the early part of the Blue Devils' season with some marquee battles.
Before the official season even begins, the co-favorites to win the national ****** le will face off against Tennessee and Kansas, the latter in Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence.
The regular season hits the ground running with a matchup against perennial Big 10 powerhouse Michigan State on Nov. 10 in the United Center in Chicago. The Spartans reached the Sweet 16 last season before falling to UConn, who went on to defeat Duke in the Elite Eight and make the national ****** le game.
A home game against Illinois, which made the Final Four this past season, arrives on Nov. 17 before Scheyer and his squad fly west to take on Washington State in Palm Desert, Calif., on Nov. 21 and a rematch against UConn on Nov. 25 in Las Vegas.
A battle of the two favorites to bring home the national ****** le trophy comes on Dec. 1 when the Blue Devils travel to Gainesville, Fla., to face Todd Golden's Gators. After the Brotherhood Game against Harvard, another SEC foe awaits in Georgia when Duke battles the Bulldogs in Madison Square Garden on Dec. 8.

Duke basketball has announced its Dec. 8 matchup against Georgia in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
College basketball insider Jon Rothstein first reported the matchup May 29 before the Blue Devils officially announced it Tuesday, Aug. 6. The game will be part of a doubleheader that also features Alabama and Houston.
The matchup will be the sixth all-time meeting between the Bulldogs and Blue Devils, but the first since 1932. Georgia leads the all-time series 3-2.
The Bulldogs are coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, while the Blue Devils finished the 2025-26 season 35-3, sweeping the ACC regular-season and tournament ******* les.
The announcement marks Duke's second schedule addition in as many days after the Blue Devils revealed a Dec. 4 home game against Harvard and head coach Tommy Amaker. The Blue Devils' nonconference slate also includes Michigan State, Illinois, Washington State, UConn, Florida, Gonzaga and Texas Tech. Duke will return to Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21 to face the Red Raiders.

Years after leaving Boston, Will Manny still runs into fans carrying jerseys he signed more than a decade ago. Jeff Trainor remembers being the kid in the stands at Harvard Stadium, dreaming of one day playing on the same field.
It's the kind of connection Homecoming Weekend celebrates.
Inside the Cannons locker room, every tie to Boston is unique. To some, it's home. Others found it through college, and the team's newest members are just beginning to experience it. But for all of them, wearing "Boston" across their chest carries a meaning that goes far beyond the jersey.
"I think I'm a little bit biased," Trainor said. "But out of all the weekends of the year, this is the one that I look forward to most."
For Manny, the Cannons' offensive coordinator, Boston is where he found a second home.

Here is the paradox at the center of Broadway economics: the production that just broke the box-office record for a filmed stage musical was not built by anyone with the authority to greenlight it. It was built over 19 years by a Vermont folk singer who kept handing control to other people.
On the last weekend of July, the live capture of Hadestown opened on fewer than 2,000 screens. It took in $10.2 million, the largest opening ever recorded for a filmed Broadway musical, ahead of Hamilton. The distributor had booked it as a five-day event. Within 72 hours it announced an indefinite run. Its strongest per-screen results came from Huntsville, Salt Lake City, Eugene, and Boise: markets with no Broadway house at all.
I have spent a career focused on how the screen reshapes commerce—as President and CEO of The Museum of Television & Radio (now The Paley Center for Media), as Harvard Law School's inaugural Visiting Professor of Entertainment and Media Law, and as a management consultant on entertainment and media industry strategies. What Anaïs Mitchell built with Hadestown is the clearest working refutation I have seen of the instinct that destroys founder-led ventures in various market sectors.
The operational reality is unforgiving. A modern Broadway musical is a highly capitalized joint venture requiring upwards of $15 million against a weekly burn rate that can approach $700,000. The people who put up that money are not patrons of the arts. They are investors, and the directors, general managers, and marketing leads they hire are the operators who convert a creative vision into a going concern. Broadway posted the highest-grossing season in its history in 2025–2026, roughly $1.9 billion, and only six new musicals opened all year. More money is chasing fewer bets.
The industry's default bet is a famous name. Elton John's Tammy Faye and the Avett Brothers' Swept Away both took that bet recently, and both closed within weeks of opening. Neither was a failure of talent. Both were failures of organizational architecture. The creative founders believed that dominance in one market guaranteed fit in another, and they overruled the operators who knew better.

A project that used to take three weeks now takes one. A report that required a full day gets done before lunch. And employees are being evaluated against that accelerated standard before anyone has agreed it is sustainable, accurate, or fair. The time savings went to the company, but the pressure went to the employee.
Here is the dynamic playing out inside nearly every organization adopting AI right now: efficiency gains from AI are not being returned to employees as breathing room. They are being immediately converted into higher output expectations. The ***** umption is simple and rarely stated out loud: if AI freed up your afternoon, that afternoon now belongs to the next ***** ignment. Workers are not getting time back. They are getting more work, on a faster clock, with the same number of hours in the day.
New research from GoTo and Workplace Intelligence makes the paradox explicit. The Pulse of Work in 2026 study, which surveyed 2,500 employees and IT decision-makers across ten countries, found that employees save more than two hours per day using AI tools. But the same study found that 60% of employees feel pressured to use AI to boost productivity, 50% say they rely on it too much, and 39% say that reliance is making them less intelligent. The productivity gain and the human performance cost are arriving simultaneously. Most organizations are only tracking one of them.
An ActivTrak's ***** ysis of 443 million hours of work activity across more than 1,100 organizations found that AI doubled time spent on email and messaging while focused deep work fell by 9%. A Harvard Business Review study published earlier this year found that after AI adoption, workers operated at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked. The tools are generating more activity while depleting the capacity for the high-quality thinking that makes that activity valuable.
When AI compresses timelines, the most visible change is speed, and speed quickly becomes the proxy for performance because it is the most legible output of AI adoption. Gallup's research finds that 65% of employees say AI has improved their productivity, and frequent AI use among managers has doubled from 15% to 30% since 2023. But that growing adoption is producing a widening gap between who benefits and who absorbs the pressure: leaders report the strongest gains, while individual contributors remain the least likely to receive guidance on how to use AI effectively. And 54% of managers say workplace expectations have directly increased due to AI. The bar is rising and the measurement framework is not keeping pace.

Duke's next Brotherhood Run opponent has been announced. The Harvard Crimson will travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium to take on the Blue Devils on Dec. 4, the schools announced Wednesday morning.
The matchup is set to honor former Harvard's head coach Tommy Amaker, who is a 2001 inductee into Duke's Hall of Fame.
Amaker has been at the helm in Cambridge since 2007 and has a record of 321-206 with the Crimson, appearing in four editions of the NCAA Tournament. Before taking the reins at Harvard, he was an ***** istant at Duke from 1988-97 before taking the head coaching job at Seton Hall in 1997. Amaker then served as Michigan's man from 2001-2007 before settling in with Harvard.
While at Duke, Amaker was named a third-team All-American and second-team All-ACC player in 1987 while averaging 12.3 points per game and being named Defensive Player of the Year.
When the news was announced, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer expressed his excitement to welcome back one of the legendary figures in program history.

By now, you've heard the same advice a thousand times: "Stop purchasing packs. Buy singles!" But what if your nearest "local" card shop is hours away or you're searching for a chase card for sale located across the country? That's where eBay comes in.
From cards to Funko Pops, eBay has been a vital lifeline for collectors for decades. As the worldwide brand continues to adapt to meet the needs of its users, Mantel met with Luci Yang, eBay's GM of U.S. Collectibles, at The National to learn more about how the marketplace's latest changes. Here's what she had to say about her career, the importance of community, and how eBay is putting powerful data into the hands of collectors.

You've got undergrad degrees from Harvard, and both an MBA and a JD from Yale. How did you end up working for eBay?
Everyone's path is a little windier than people expect, and mine was too. I spent a long time earlier in my career in business and management consulting. I joined eBay about five years ago, right as the company was leaning hard into its focus-category strategy—you've probably heard our CEO talk about that.
At the time, I joined the automotive parts and accessories team, since that was one of the focus categories then. Over the last five years, I've worked in parts and accessories, electronics, and heavy equipment, another focus area for eBay. This past January, I moved into collectibles. So I come from more of a corporate background, but I'm excited to tap into the childhood passion of collecting. Right now my role is head of U.S. collectibles, with trading cards a big piece of it, along with comics, toys, coins and more.

Bridgit Mendler, best known for lighting up Disney Channel, stepped away from acting to pursue academia and entrepreneurship. Mendler's surprising pivot led her to MIT and Harvard, where she earned her master's degree and Ph.D. candidate at the MIT Media Lab before receiving her JD at Harvard Law School, and now she's trailblazing as CEO of a satellite ground-station company she took the helm of, a startup focused on building ground stations that connect to satellites in ***** e, as reported by KTLA, setting a high bar for reinvention.

Yes — it's worth an English version. The strongest angle is not simply who Larry Berg is, but what his appointment signals for MLS after Don Garber.
Larry Berg has been a managing owner of LAFC since 2016 and is a familiar figure to those who follow the Los Angeles club closely. His appointment marks a generational shift for MLS as the league enters the post-2026 World Cup era.
Berg grew up in the Philadelphia area and has played football since he was eight. He earned an economics degree from the Wharton School before completing an MBA at Harvard Business School.
He spent more than three decades at Apollo Global Management, where he was a senior private equity partner. Berg retired from the firm in 2022 and later joined 26North, the investment company founded by Josh Harris.
His name will already be familiar to longtime LAFC observers.

Ricky Pearsall's 2026 season is over before it even started. The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver will undergo season-ending surgery to treat a PCL injury that's nagged him since the 2025 campaign, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
After bursting out the gate with 16 catches and 281 yards in his first three games of 2025, Pearsall suffered the PCL injury and was never the same. The former first-round pick missed eight games with the injury and looked hampered upon his return, leading to more receiving work for Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
PCL injuries are notoriously difficult to play through because they lead to knee instability, according to Harvard Health. Brock Bowers and Drake London also dealt with PCL injuries in 2025 and didn't exactly play up to their elite standards while recovering.
Pearsall is a massive loss for the 49ers, who are hoping to make a deep playoff push after the rival Seattle Seahawks blasted them 41-6 in the Divisional Round last postseason.
Brandon Aiyuk is still away from the team as he's lobbying for a trade to the Washington Commanders, plus Jauan Jennings is now on the Minnesota Vikings. However, the 49ers added reinforcements in longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneer Mike Evans and second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling. Here's a look at how the unit could shake out this season.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson backed Michelle Obama's criticism of isolating students of color at elite colleges during Wednesday's episode of the former first lady's podcast, agreeing after Obama said schools failed those students when they spread them thinly across campus.
Jackson said Harvard's sizable Black community helped her feel at home. Jackson was an undergrad there and also received her law degree at Harvard; Obama also received her law degree there but was a Princeton undergraduate.
"You don't do kids of color service by plucking them out and making them one of a few and then scattering them about the campus," Obama said.
"I think that's absolutely right," Jackson said.

I've long been obsessed with the idea that there is an important connection between your gut and your brain, and now there's science to confirm that nutrition can help treat many diseases.
Dr. Trisha Pasricha is a double board-certified internal medicine physician and gastroenterologist. She's the head of the Gut-Brain Institute and an ******* istant professor at Harvard Medical School. And you may know her from The Washington Post, where she's the "Ask a Doctor" columnist.
"I think the reframe that really helps is if you stop thinking about your gut as plumbing, you think about it as a brain," Pasricha told me in the newest episode of "Healthful."
We covered everything from what to do if you get a cyclospora infection to why eating fewer ultra-processed foods can prevent dementia. Here's what I learned from our conversation — watch it on YouTube and listen wherever you get your podcasts:
Researchers have made significant progress in finding early symptoms of Parkinson's disease that could show up decades before motor symptoms. Pasricha explained the "first-gut theory" of Parkinson's disease, which is that experts believe some cases of Parkinson's originate in the gut, not the brain.

The state that played as important of a role as any in the formation of the United States — the home of the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's midnight ride, the Boston Massacre and the Battles of Lexington and Concord, to name a few major events — has also produced its share of exemplary college athletes.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a bastion of American higher education, with roughly 100 colleges dotted across 7,800 square miles of landmass. And at a number of those schools, there are proud programs with a lengthy history of producing accomplished athletes.
Boston College has produced a Heisman Trophy winner, and future NFL and NHL stars. UMass and Holy Cross have both enjoyed runs as national powerhouses in men's basketball. There are few, if any, places in the country where you'll find better men's and women's college hockey, whether it's the Beanpot quartet of BC, Boston University, Northeastern and Harvard or elsewhere in the commonwealth at places like UMass, UMass Lowell or Merrimack.
Who are the best athletes those schools have produced?
In honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States, USA TODAY Sports is ranking the top 10 college athletes from each state. The athlete doesn't have to be from the state, but is required to have attended college there to be considered. These rankings are based purely on what an athlete did at the college level, not once they left campus. Tough cuts had to be made, especially somewhere like the Bay State, with so many colleges and universities to consider.

WORCESTER — It's all uphill. A steep hill.
The annual George Street Bike Challenge for Major Taylor will take place on Sunday, July 26, with participants tackling one of Worcester's steepest streets.
George Street, with an 18% grade from Main Street to Harvard Street, has long been a challenge for bicyclists, dating to the 1890s when a young Marshall "Major" Taylor, a future world champion, held training sessions on the 500-foot incline.
Riders climb the hill alone, racing against the clock. The course record is 22.19 seconds, held by Scott Smith, the 2012 winner.
The first rider pedals from the starting line at 10 a.m. Spectators are encouraged to watch from each side of George Street.

Baltimore Beatdown is proud to introduce this four-part series on Lamar Jackson from former Ravens running back Femi Ayanbadejo! He is a member of the 2000 Super Bowl championship team and an 11-year NFL veteran. He also holds an MBA from Johns Hopkins, with executive credentials from Harvard and Wharton, and has worked in sports media as an NFL ******* yst since 2013. Ayanbadejo is currently part of the radio team at 105.7 The Fan Baltimore.
Lamar Jackson trades like a meme stock in the marketplace of media and executive opinion. His perceived value surges after an MVP season, crashes after a playoff loss, and resets with almost no institutional memory of the underlying fundamentals. The film, the production, and the total body of work change gradually. The narrative price moves overnight.
Lamar Jackson is judged differently than any quarterback in recent memory. His accolades take the stairs up while his critics put him on the elevator down. Every achievement is earned slowly, scrutinized at every floor, and met at the top with a new reason it was not enough. Every criticism arrives instantly and is amplified before anyone checks whether it is true. Old narratives are zombie-like in their refusal to die. Evidence of underperformance is weighted against his entire body of work, while evidence of growth is often treated as temporary. When the facts change, the framing simply finds a new form.
That narrative volatility is visible right now. In the player-voted NFL Top 100, Jackson fell 67 places—from No. 2 to No. 69—after an injury-disrupted season in which he still finished fourth in passer rating at 103.8. Trevor Lawrence ranked 62nd and Bo Nix 59th, while ESPN's survey of more than 70 executives, coaches, and scouts placed Jackson fifth among quarterbacks. Colin Cowherd's movement was even more revealing: he ranked Jackson seventh in May, then 11th in July, choosing the "ascending" Drake Maye over an "expensive, declining" Jackson and announcing that he was "selling his stock." Skepticism about Jackson in major postseason moments is fair; declaring him a depreciating ******* et after one injury-marred season is not. He is 29. Matthew Stafford just won MVP at 37, Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning won at 37 or older, and Tom Brady won at 40. Meanwhile, Baltimore's supporting cast was ranked 22nd. When Jackson produces an MVP-caliber season, critics say he is loaded with talent. When preseason rankings arrive, that same supporting cast is considered below average while Jackson's individual value collapses. This is not consistent evaluation. It is narrative volatility. If every NFL player were available in a franchise draft today and the objective were to win now, I do not believe five players would be selected before Lamar Jackson.
People underestimating Jackson is not an occasional occurrence. It is his norm. The hyperbole surrounding him since before the draft has helped create a man largely impervious to nonsensical commentary. He rarely res

The Justice Department is investigating whether Harvard University is allowing Chinese donors to create scholarships that exclude American students, adding to the barrage of federal inquiries the Trump administration has opened in its battle against the Ivy League school.
Justice Department officials announced the new review Monday, saying Harvard's foreign funding disclosures "raised concerns" about possible discrimination against U.S. students. The agency did not specify which scholarship programs are being targeted and emphasized it "has not reached any conclusions."
The investigation is aimed at Harvard's "China-based financial aid programs," the Justice Department said. The agency said Chinese donors have given money to Harvard to support financial aid programs limited to students from certain countries. That restriction could amount to illegal discrimination based on country of origin, the department said.
"Schools cannot take federal dollars and then turn around and accept money from foreign sources to give financial aid that deliberately excludes American citizens — doing so is illegal, and we will stop it wherever we find it," said Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the department's Civil Rights Division.
Harvard said it was reviewing the Justice Department notice.

Ryan and I are back with NBA Summer League in full swing to tell you how many games these fresh young NBA Boilermakers will have and how they’ve done so far. Some good, some jaw dropping. Or maybe it’s jaw smacking? Anyway. Ryan runs down all the stats in this one and we talk about who has surprised in their NBA debut.
Next, we talk about the final piece of the 2026-2027 men’s basketball roster as Ryan and I talk about Caden Pierce coming to Purdue from the Princeton Tigers. The Harvard of New Jersey some say. Does anyone say that? I’m not sure. Anyway, Ryan and I discuss what the sure to be starting 4 brings to the Boilermakers in what will be his final season of college eligibility. The former Ivy League player of the year will bring experience, rebounding, and a varied offensive game, but don’t take this short paragraph to be all we say about him. Give us a listen and we will tell you all about it.

A new study from Mass General Brigham, Boston University, and the Concussion & CTE Foundation has concluded that NFL players have a higher risk of death due to neurodegenerative disease than the general population.
Nearly four times higher.
“This is the clearest population-level evidence we have ever had that NFL players are dying due to neurodegenerative disease at real and measurably higher rates,” said Dr. Daniel Daneshvar, the Chair of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Mass General Brigham and Harvard Medical School and director of the HealthSpan Lab. “This study demonstrates that, when looking at athletes who have played in an NFL game, including nearly 20,000 players, across every official cause of death, the result is the same: NFL players are dying of dementia and Parkinson’s disease three to four times more often than they should.”
The broad term "neurodegenerative disease" includes ALS, Parkinson's disease, and dementia.
Length of NFL career, not surprisingly, was a factor. The study found that players with five or more seasons had "nearly double the risk" of neurodegenerative death in comparison to those who spent one-to-four years in the NFL.

I got the chance to speak with former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick about a number of topics across the college football landscape ahead of NBC’s 2026 American Century Championship. Fitzpatrick will be one of over 85 celebrities participating in the annual charity golf tournament at the Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Stateline, Nevada. Tickets are still available for the event, which takes place this Friday through Sunday (July 10-12).
I asked Fitzpatrick about his chances in the tournament, the Performance Golf PG1 app, and plenty more:
On his pick to win the 2026 American Century Championship…
“The American Century Championship is incredible. I will not be one of the guys taking this thing, but to me, I think Steph Curry goes in as the favorite. He won in 2023, and that's a guy that I'm pulling for. I’m super interested to see if he could do it again. John Smoltz, I would love to see him win. Romo had the chipping yips last year, so he didn't really compete, but I would love to see him get back on track and healthy. Then Annika Sorenstam's another one. She seems to always be in the top five. So, super interested to see if she could come home with the ******* le as well.”

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is one of the best tight ends in the league and one of the most impactful players on any offense, as he can change the game in so many ways.
While Kittle is great, he acknowledges that there's one player on San Francisco's offense that's doing all of the dirty work and helping the team on nearly every single play.
“I don’t know how our offense would survive without Juice because the amount of stuff we put on his plate," Kittle told Travis and Jason Kelce on the "New Heights" podcast. "I’m just letting you know, that if I had to do the things that Juice had to do, I would be really upset all the time… Juice is really our fixer. Anything that goes wrong with the play, it’s usually him fixing something. He’s an incredible football player. Guys who watch him and understand football, they’re like 'That guy’s a ball player right there.'”
Juszczyk has been one of the greatest fullbacks in the league since the Baltimore Ravens took him in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL draft out of Harvard, where he earned All-Ivy honors twice.
In 13 years between Baltimore and San Francisco, Juszczyk has made 10 Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro honors three times. He's also rushed for 234 yards and six touchdowns while catching 305 passes for 2,877 yards and 20 touchdowns.

WASHINGTON, June 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear prominent lawyer Alan Dershowitz's bid to revive his defamation lawsuit against CNN over the network's coverage of his remarks defending Donald Trump during the president's first Senate impeachment trial ‌in 2020.
The justices turned away the retired Harvard Law professor's appeal of a lower court's ruling throwing out his case against CNN, ‌which is owned by Warner Bros Discovery. In his appeal, Dershowitz had urged the justices to roll back protections against defamation claims that the Supreme Court established in its landmark 1964 ruling in a case called New York Times v. Sullivan.
In Sullivan and subsequent decisions, the Supreme Court said that to win a libel suit, a public figure must demonstrate the offending statement was made with "actual malice," meaning with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard as to whether it was false.
Dershowitz in his petition argued that Sullivan has become "an impregnable fortress that protects media irresponsibility while denying public figures any remedy for egregious misrepresentations."

Section 7 girls basketball results: Windward wins top division as California teams dominate originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
As expected, the last round of Section 7's City of Mesa bracket featured a matchup between recent high school girls basketball national champions Etiwanda – the event's three-time reigning champion – and Ontario Christian.
Except it was for third place instead of first.
At the same time Ontario Christian rolled past Etiwanda 75-49 for the bronze, Section 7's top division concluded with one of the tournament's relative underdogs – Windward – defeating four-time reigning NorCal champion Archbishop Mitty 54-46 for the ****** le. Windward had unseated Etiwanda 69-65 in the previous round after starting with a 57-51 win over Nevada powerhouse Democracy Prep Agassi Campus and a 66-58 victory against Arizona champion Millennium. Mitty made it to the finals by beating Eagle (ID) 53-44, defeating Mater Dei 67-56, and notching a 56-48 win over Ontario Christian, which beat the Monarchs 56-49 in the CIF Open Division state finals in March.
The Wildcats are led by one of the nation's premier perimeter units: 5-star junior wing Amel Cook, 4-star senior guard Charis Rainey, Princeton-bound senior combo guard Angelina Habis, who helped Harvard-Westlake win a state crown as a freshman, and six-foot-one junior Alexie Wehrle, a versatile playmaking wing/forward. They're coming off an injury-riddled 18-14 season in which they uncharacteristically finished ranked outside California's top 25. That's because Cook missed the entire season and Habis missed more than half of it between the transfer sit-out period and an injury. But Windward's core is at full-strength now, and it made the most of an opportunity to show what it can do on a national stage when healthy. That's why SN ranked the Wildcats No. 13 in the country in our way-too-early 2026-27 national rankings earlier this spring.

Fertility may not be a reason for men to avoid GLP-1 medications. In fact, they could see an improvement.
After 24 weeks of treatment with GLP-1s, a class of medications that treats diabetes and is prescribed widely for weight loss, men ages 18 to 65 saw improved testosterone levels, sperm count, and size and shape of sperm, said principle investigator of the study Dr. Pratibha Natesh, a consultant endocrinologist at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire and honorary clinical lecturer at Warwick Medical School in England.

She was not involved in the research.
However, the results do suggest that men considering GLP-1s for weight loss or medical conditions may want to ponder possible benefits for their fertility as well, Natesh said.
