Debra Messing starred as Julia Houston, a writer who comes up with a musical based on the life of icon Monroe....

The Court said the fine comes about a decade after the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, which controls the production of maple syrup in Quebec, conducted a routine inventory check at its warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford and found barrels containing water instead of maple syrup....

The stone was discovered by construction workers building a new road in Perth, Scotland, in 2017. The workers noticed something etched into the stone and alerted authorities. The image on the 6-and-a-half-foot stone has now been reconstructed from thousands of images, allowing researchers to produce a 3D image of the carving. The findings were published in the journal Antiquity. Analysis of the image suggests it is a warrior holding a “distinctive door-knob butted spear,” which would have been used by Scottish people between the third and sixth centuries, Gordon Noble, head of archaeology at the U....

The South African had put himself in contention to earn a spot at Carnoustie after a second-round 64 and a third-round 66 at Gullane. But he saved his best for the final 18 holes, eight birdies and an eagle at the 16th, which came courtesy of a magnificent long-range putt, taking him within a gain of the Tour’s first sub-60 score. He made par on 17 and his approach left him with an eight-foot putt for 59 on the last....

The show is called Cosmic Bowling, and it’s the industry’s latest effort to score with people for whom merely rolling balls isn’t excitement enough. League bowling dropped off by 40 percent between 1980 and 1993, forcing alley owners to focus on the rest of us–people who might bowl every once in a while but don’t consider a trip to the bowling alley a vacation in Thrillsville. Besides the music, lights and fog, a full-fledged Cosmic Bowling setup includes luminescent pins and balls, as well as the crowning glory–polymer-film lane surfaces that glow an eerie shade of blue under black lights....

Sullivan is young (32), British and conservative at a magazine that is old (82), American and every so often liberal. Despite his brilliant writing abilities, this didn’t always make for a good fit. His efforts over the last five years to position The New Republic as more cultural and less political (extending even to Sullivan-as-celebrity, posing for a Gap ad) left many readers yearning for the yeasty days of editors Michael Kinsley and Hendrik Hertzberg....
