DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke made a rapid climb under Mike Elko. Now they're searching for a new football coach after an unusually short tenure. Texas A&M officially named Elko its next football coach on Monday, ending Elko's two-year stint that saw the Blue Devils win 16 games and twice reach bowl games.

In contrast, much of today’s political violence is aimed at people – and most of the deadly outbursts tracked by Reuters have come from the right. “Political warfare”There’s no official tally of how many Americans die each year from political violence. Most of the fatal political violence identified by Reuters was carried out by people who embraced far-right views.

O poveste romantică, nebunatică, în care două spirite rătăcite se află pe sine și își acceptă limitele. E o poveste ușoară, pe alocuri zburătoare, îndesată cu glume de tot soiul. O rezolvare modestă, un sfârșit previzibil și o atmosferă plăcută. Deși lasă de dorit, totuși e un film autentic, care merită atenție, îți trezește emoții și îți dă de gândit. O poveste în care vinul orbește asemenea unei comori blestemate și ademenește spre o cale greșită.
