The case in Georgia, Carlson pointed out, is especially potent because of how uniquely strong the evidence is and how reliable the witnesses would be.

DOHA, Qatar—When Japan entered halftime down 1-0 to Spain in the group stage of this World Cup, coach Hajime Moriyasu knew precisely what to do: begin substituting his players far earlier than soccer orthodoxy would advise. For Moriyasu, it was a formula that worked. After substitutes had scored both goals in Japan’s comeback against Germany, they lifted the Samurai Blue over another European giant, this time Spain.

Mikaela Shiffrin’s phone rang just as an airplane was about to take her to paradise. It was last May, at the end of a ski season that included a disastrous Beijing Winter Olympics for Shiffrin, one of history’s top women’s alpine racers.
