BERLIN — He is the scion of a dynasty that once ruled over a region of central Germany, lives in one of Frankfurt’s most expensive neighborhoods and drives an Audi with a personalized license plate.The bespectacled, gray-haired aristocrat, Heinrich XIII, Prince of Reuss, cuts an unusual figure for the head of what German authorities describe as a “terrorist organization.”But prosecutors placed the 71-year-old at the head of a countrywide network that planned to overthrow the German government and install its own state structure through violent means.

Every time you flush a toilet, it releases plumes of tiny water droplets into the air around you. These droplets, called aerosol plumes, can spread pathogens from human waste and expose people in public restrooms to contagious diseases. Scientific understanding of the spread of aerosol plumes – and public awareness of their existence – has been hampered by the fact that they are normally invisible. My colleagues Aaron True, Karl Linden, Mark Hernandez, Lars Larson and Anna Pauls and I were able to use high-power lasers to illuminate these plumes, enabling us to image and measure the location and motion…

The NFL general manager carousel never gets as much attention as the league’s seemingly constant coaching churn.In general, there is less GM turnover from year to year — it helps your job security when you watch games from the suite, sitting next to the owner, and can point out everyone else’s flaws — and general managers usually have a far lower profile than coaches. But some change is inevitable, and undoubtedly there will be moves made in those ranks in the next offseason. Firing a general manager in-season — as the Tennessee Titans shockingly did with Jon Robinson on Tuesday…
LONDON — The Netflix documentary promising to present Prince Harry and Meghan’s side of the story appeared Thursday morning in Britain and already local news outlets were breathlessly live-blogging the program.The six-part documentary, with three episodes coming Thursday and the rest next week, is seen as an attempt by the disaffected royals to seize control of the narrative about their rift with the House of Windsor.While the two have become superstars in the United States, they are viewed with suspicion by large segments of the British public, partly fueled by an unrelentingly negative campaign by the country’s right-leaning tabloid newspapers.It…
Anthony Albanese heads towards Christmas with inflation, interest rates and power prices all high. But, comfortingly for Labor, his own popularity is up there too. The objective circumstances in which the government finds itself sit somewhere between challenging and confronting. Politically, however, it could hardly be in a better place, as this week’s Newspoll and Resolve poll testified. The electorate, though starting to feel some pain, remains very content with the government and its leader. For now, its angst is focused on others. God bless Scott Morrison, Labor must say to itself daily, as the former prime minister remains a…

Kyle Bragg, the president since 2019 of 32BJ-SEIU, a powerful union representing more than 175,000 airport, building and service workers, announced his retirement effective Wednesday after nearly 40 years in the labor movement.Formerly a secretary-treasurer of the union, Bragg, 63, became president following the sudden death of Héctor Figueroa, the beloved leader who had helped put 32BJ in the vanguard of organizing and advocating for low-wage workers, including those who are not union members.Under Bragg’s and Figueroa’s leadership, 32BJ’s ranks nationally grew by more than 50,000 members, even as American union representation continued its 40-year decline. Bragg’s nearly three-and-a-half years at…
The newest episode of a classic American soap opera dropped last week with a twist that was predictable as could be but stunning all the same. There was Hugh Freeze, familiar and convincing and slippery as ever, being introduced as Auburn’s new football coach.“Man, what an honor,” Freeze said, wearing a burnt-orange necktie and pocket square. “War Eagle.”For nearly an hour, he talked. About his Christian faith. His plans. His gratitude for Liberty University, where he spent the past four seasons, drawing attention both for guiding the Eagles into the top 25 and coaching a game from a hospital bed…
