Wolff, 28, who is now a third-year law student, had read his plan carefully. He knew oral surgery was covered if the need resulted from an accidental injury. He decided to press his claim. Over the span of a year, he wrote six formal appeal letters and kept careful track of the 67 phone calls he made to his HMO. Finally he was granted a hearing. But that consisted of a doctor and a nurse telling him his treatment was dental, not medical....

Kari Brekke shared a photo of the display, which was originally posted in Lincoln Project Group on Facebook, in a tweet that currently has thousands of likes and shares. While it is unclear whether the display was deliberately designed by a Hobby Lobby employee, or whether it was arranged by a customer, the photo sparked fresh calls to boycott Hobby Lobby, following a string of controversies that have already seen people vowing to never set foot inside the craft store....

Big Ned was Czechoslovakia’s star center on the international hockey stage in the late 1960s and early ‘70s. He paved the way for the likes of the Stastny brothers to slip past the Iron Curtain when he defected from the Eastern European communist country to come play professional hockey in North America in 1974. There is a reason Jaromir Jagr wore No. 68 everywhere he played, and there is an echo of Nedomansky in it....

Palace 1/2 for the drop The Eagles manager, who replaced Frank de Boer at the helm midway through September, oversaw the club’s seventh straight top-flight defeat on Saturday, a 4-0 mauling at the hands of Manchester United.

Jenrette’s account and letter is the first documentary evidence that Clinton made fund-raising phone calls from the White House. For months, Clinton had danced around the question of the calls, saying only that he didn’t ““specifically recall’’ if he had dialed for dollars. NEWSWEEK has learned the White House has turned up phone records showing that Clinton made at least a half-dozen calls to Democratic Party donors from the White House residence, including one to Jenrette on the day in question....

Just read the new book “Fast Food Nation” by American journalist Eric Schlosser to discover why the backlash to this early catalyst of globalization is on the rise. According to Schlosser, “the fast-food industry embodies the best and the worst of American capitalism.” In the best muckraking tradition, he concentrates on the worst, connecting the dots between fast food; the transformation of food production; the reliance on low-paid, unskilled labor, and alarming health trends and scares....

The beloved Die Hard star is “stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” according to a shared statement from members of his family posted to social media on Wednesday. His ex-wife, Demi Moore, along with their children, Rumer and Scout Willis, confirmed that the 67-year-old has been diagnosed with aphasia, “which is impacting his cognitive abilities.” Aphasia is a disorder caused by damage to a part of the brain that controls language and it affects communication skills....

The question is, how will we feel about the man after seeing “Nixon,” a 3 1/4-hour epic biography of our most controversial, even despised, president–made by our most controversial (and, in some quarters, despised) filmmaker, Oliver Stone? It’s a combustible combination. “You say Nixon and Oliver Stone in the same breath and people expect to go to a crucifixion,” says Bill Brown, Stone’s post-production assistant. There were good reasons to have trepidations....

If those options don’t sound particularly appealing, take heart. A solution will soon be coming along that could satisfy most of your family’s needs without busting your budget. You could call it a family network, or “FamNet,” as a techie might say, and NEWSWEEK is testing one out in my home. The manufacturer, Wyse Technology in San Jose, Calif., describes it as “a way to turn a single PC into multiple PCs,” according to general manager Jeff McNaught....

There would be no three-peat for Pete Alonso, who was taken out in the semifinals by Rodriguez, who was red hot until the final round. Soto eliminated Josè Ramirez from the Guardians and the Cardinals’ Albert Pujols before meeting Rodriguez in the finals. He surpassed J-Rod’s 18 and then some to capture the crown. He became the second-youngest player to win the trophy. The second-youngest by one day! Juan Gonzalez was 23 years and 265 days old when he won in 1993....

In a post that racked up over 15,600 upvotes, Reddit user Throwwwwyr546 explained they recently bought a new home with their husband. They wrote: “His mom started pestering us for a copy of the key in case of an emergency.

That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. Adolescents who don’t get enough rest have more learning, health, behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. In some cases, teens may be incorrectly diagnosed with ADHD when sleep deprivation is actually the source of their symptoms. Perpetual lack of sleep is tied to diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression and a shortened life span in adults, underscoring the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in life....

Around the automotive world, small is the new big. Driven by earning power in emerging markets, along with rising gas prices and global-warming concerns in developed countries, small-car sales are soaring. By 2012, forecasters expect consumers to buy a record 38 million small cars annually, up 65 percent from a decade earlier. Even in the United States, land of the large, sales of small cars are expected to grow 25 percent by 2012 to a record 3....

Health authorities said that roughly 170 guests who were at the party would be considered as close contact to the two people who tested positive. Everyone who was at the party, including nine government officials and roughly 20 lawmakers, must undergo mandatory quarantine at a government facility. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said she was disappointed in the officials who attended the large event and they weren’t setting a good example for the rest of the public as the country struggles with an outbreak of the COVID-19 Omicron variant....

Legislative Council member Alvin Yeung, who leads the pro-democracy Civic Party and its other four council members, sounded the warning in an interview with Newsweek. He made the prediction just hours before The Financial Times reported China is lining up a replacement for Lam, who has become a reviled symbol of Hong Kong’s pro-Beijing administration and its subservience to the Communist Party. But Yeung also said Lam’s touted removal would not defuse the tension between protesters and authorities following months of increasingly violent mass anti-government street demonstrations....
