The hiker’s companion alerted park officials at 7 p.m. on Saturday after the man collapsed in the Turkey Flats area of the California park, The Palm Springs Desert Sun reported. The companion said the man was unconscious and needed aid immediately, park spokeswoman Jennie Albrinck said in a news release on Monday. The man was located by the park’s search and rescue team near the base of Pinto Mountain more than four hours later, at about 11:30 p....

Bothfeet’s new Great Ocean Walk, southwest of Melbourne, covers 56 miles of remote Australian coastline in six days. But a personal masseuse visits hikers’ rooms to ease the pain. And the trip concludes with a spectacular helicopter ride retracing the journey (from $2,295; bothfeet.com.au). On the Heritage Tours Private Travel personalized vineyard and tea tour in northern Portugal, visitors stroll through a 17th-century wine village for port tastings en route to a tea ceremony along the Spanish border....

I asked Hill about what was going on with his fellow Dookie. "It is part of it, every great player is going to go through that," Hill said. "You are going to go through that criticism, you are going to go through people taking shots at you. You can look at the great ones of the modern era, they experienced it as well. For a young guy like Kyrie, this is probably the first time he has ever had this kind of heat or criticism....

No such rescue effort is in the cards for Mrs. Clinton’s health-care sidekick, Ira Magaziner. He’s blamed for creating the mind-numbingly complicated plan the Clintons first sent to the Hill. If any proposal is to succeed, says a White House official, Magaziner must be kept out of it. Magaziner says the Clintons have assured him he will stay on as a senior adviser on health care and “other issues.” But sources say at least two cabinet secretaries have made it clear they don’t want his advice....

The Williams & Connoly law firm partner Robert Barnett told MSNBC on Tuesday night that attacks on the Vermont senator could be to the “detriment” of the Democratic party’s 2020 ticket, and argued supporters of Sanders did not take criticism of him well. He also said pretending to be the congressman in mock debates was the “easiest” of the roles he had played over the years, adding that Sanders’ adherence to talking points had been “successful” for him in the 2020 race....

“Wow, Report Just Out! Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 Election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump Supporter! Google should be sued,” Trump tweeted on Monday. “My victory was even bigger than thought! @JudicialWatch.” In response, Clinton fired back at the president by asserting that the study had been “debunked.” “The debunked study you’re referring to was based on 21 undecided voters,” the former first lady tweeted....

But there is one candidate against whom Clinton will inevitably be measured. He happens to have the same last name, and he went on to be elected president. Starting right away, Hillary Clinton will be compared to her husband in nearly everything she does—sometimes favorably, sometimes less so. In fact, the whole issue of how she stacks up against Bill Clinton will be one of the major themes of the upcoming campaign....

Showing what works–that has become the new mantra for Hillary Rodham Clinton. With a 50th birthday this month and her only child off at college, the First Lady is using this turning point to orchestrate a new, higher-profile role to spotlight policies she likes. She’s attending a birthday gala in her native Chicago, including visits to her childhood haunts. ““All the stations of the cross,’’ says a friend. She now takes reporters on all of her trips (though she continues to control the media by conducting her interviews off the record until her staff can review and approve the final results)....

By 6:00 a.m. EDT, San Bernardino County firefighters were on the scene of a vegetation fire near Lower Waterman Canyon on Highway 18. Quickly named the Hillside Fire, officials established structure defenses and ordered people to leave their homes. “The fast-moving 200-acre Hillside Fire has entered neighborhoods in north San Bernardino,” the San Bernardino National Forest posted on Twitter. When the fire broke out, San Bernardino was under a red flag warning, signaling that weather conditions were ripe for flames igniting and spreading....

Sales at his five locations are down anywhere from 10 to 69 percent, he’s cut staff from 117down to 74, and he’s renegotiated rent with his landlords through the end of the year. He needs heaters for the outdoor seating now preferred by most customers, but can’t put them in yet because he hasn’t received the required specifications for them from City Hall. He believes he can hold on through the end of the year, but 2021 could be the start of a turnaround–or something worse....

In a world of habitual line-stepping, Fisher reportedly stepped over a clear, obvious one, and not only does it seem to have cost him his Knicks job — at least that’s part of the reason — he’s going to have a problem getting another head-coaching gig.

Hallie and her friends aren’t the only ones discarding Britney like last year’s Razor scooter. Pepsi recently dropped Spears as its spokesgal. The platinum-selling star’s last album failed to move even a third as much as her debut CD. Her peers, who were also created by Svengalis, are doing no better: the Backstreet Boys are all but over; Christina Aguilera’s sunk to baring her underwear in her “Dirrty” video, and half of ‘N Sync are embarking on solo careers....

Why is this movie Hitchcock’s masterpiece? Because no movie plunges us more deeply into the dizzying heart of erotic obsession. Because in Jimmy Stewart’s fetishtic pursuit of mystery woman Kim Novak–whom he transforms into the image of the dead w oman he loved–Hitchcock created the cinema’s most indelible metaphor for the objectification of desire. Because Stewart, playing a man free-falling into love, responds with a performance so harrowing in its ferocity it must have surprised even himself....

Her parents barely knew one another. An ardent Nazi, her mother met Helga’s father, a German Army officer, in Berlin at a party celebrating Hitler’s conquest of France in June 1940. They had a one-night stand, and nine months later Mathilde gave birth in a Lebensborn–or Source of Life–home outside Munich. The home was one of several set up throughout Occupied Europe by Heinrich Himmler’s dreaded SS to care for unmarried pregnant women whose racial characteristics–blond hair, blue eyes, no Jewish ancestry–fit the Nazis’ Aryan ideal....

Detectives in Los Angeles struggled last week to make sense of the murder case. They had few leads: the pool of potential witnesses kept shrinking, and there was little evidence at the scene. Police sources say they are backing off from the theory that a random robbery escalated into murder. They reportedly found nothing missing from the car, nor did they pick up fingerprints matching any in the FBI database....

The video, which was posted to the podcaster’s Instagram, features footage from the Holocaust accompanied by a voiceover of Rogan condemning the idea of making vaccination proof a requirement. A caption accompanying the clip reads: “FREEDOM. It’s the most important thing we have. It’s what makes this place special. It’s rare, and it’s fragile. Protect it at all costs.” The video has come in for criticism from author Gidon Lev who addressed Rogan directly in a two-part TikTok video where he said he was “absolutely not promoting freedom” and instead accused the comedian of “promoting hate....

After a year away, the Home Run Derby is back Monday night, and there’s a good chance it’s going to be one for the ages: The thin Denver air is going to allow for some zaftig home run numbers.

Steve Kornspan, a realtor in Overland Park, Kansas, has been leasing the house for short-term rentals since he moved out a few months ago, according to local station KCTV. On Tuesday, a guest messaged him to ask why workers were “banging around” on the roof. Kornspan said he had not hired any contractors to work on his house. But by the time he got there, the workers had realized their mistake and vanished—leaving “99 percent” of his roof gone, he said....
