The well-deserved Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado carries both a powerful moral message and a call for action.

The Letitia James indictment for mortgage fraud contains numerous irregularities, but the New York attorney general’s best hope for prevailing against the charges may be the prosecution’s inability to prove its case.

The house that Enzo built is Europe’s premier automaker. But return on investment is slipping.

Japan seems hot again, but its already-embattled presumptive leader can’t be lulled that the freeze is really over.

The government shutdown is already beginning to impact air travel. Alarm bells are ringing about the air traffic controllers who are not being paid yet are expected to continue working. While members of Congress bicker, the snarls at airports and potential safety issues are coming like a downhill train that’s lost its brakes.

Three of Margaret Thatcher’s dresses encased in glass boxes and a stall that invited attendees at last week’s Conservative Party Conference to “ask the Iron Lady” to opine on contemporary politics. A “Thatcher fest” in her hometown of Grantham that features the “smash hit” play Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho. A grand dinner at London’s Guildhall hosted by, among others, Mark Thatcher and Joan Collins: “In a world craving true leadership, relive the legacy of the Iron Lady…” The British are trul

If you set aside that morning when President Donald Trump called for his head, Lip-Bu Tan, the chief executive officer of Intel Corp., has had a terrific couple of months.

With a federal appeals court hearing taking place yesterday, the people of Portland, Oregon, could soon get a clearer idea of whether they will join Los Angeles and Chicago and in having the National Guard milling about on their streets, executing a vague mission to protect federal property and stop “antifa.”

My earliest economic memory as a kid growing up in Argentina is of the government knocking zeroes off its currency after successive devaluations rendered the bills worthless.

Once again, five otherwise obscure individuals on the Nobel committee in Oslo, chosen by the Norwegian parliament, made controversial news today in giving out their Peace Prize, the world’s most sought-after award. They did so for the best of reasons, for this year’s laureate — Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela — is as deserving as any has ever been.

Here’s a shocker: Democrats and Republicans don’t see eye-to-eye on the economy.

American taxpayers spend billions of dollars annually supporting pharmaceutical development. Yet the US continues to pay more for medicine than any other country in the world. This discrepancy so disturbed the president that top health officials say he routinely called them on nights and weekends, urging a solution.

Based on oral arguments this week, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority seems likely to hold that the First Amendment protects so-called conversion therapy for gay and transgender minors when it is conducted entirely through conversation. If so, it would be the first time the court has ever held that talk therapy is fully protected speech, rather than a form of medical treatment conducted through words.

News that the owner of the New York Stock Exchange is buying a substantial interest in crypto-betting entity Polymarket made me think of Michael Crichton’s warning in Jurassic Park.

Keir Starmer’s Labour government came into office last year promising to replace the conflicted and repeatedly shifting China policy of its Conservative predecessors with a long-term and strategic approach. The confusion and drama surrounding a collapsed spying case against two Britons accused of passing information to Beijing shows little has changed.

The saints of the Roman Catholic Church can play very practical everyday roles. My go-to for finding lost objects is St. Anthony of Padua, who lived in 13th century Portugal and Italy. When I’m at wit’s end searching for, say, my company ID badge, I’ll whisper his name, “Saint Anthony, Saint Anthony...” I try to be respectful and not use the rhyme “Tony, Tony, turn around, something's lost that must be found!” Almost always the missing thing will show up. Never mind that it will be in the next p

Estragon: Nothing to be done.

In a lackluster global economy, Vietnam’s problems are good ones to have. The key challenge for this star Southeast Asian exporter is hitting a sky-high target for growth this year.

North Korea’s push to modernize its military is accelerating, fueled by deepening ties with Russia and a focus on artificial intelligence and automated warfare. Pyongyang is now in its strongest strategic position in decades, a reality that demands urgent attention.

If the deal leads to a lasting peace between Israel and Hamas, Trump will deserve the credit that he will no doubt demand.

Takanomics? The Takaichi trade? Sanaenomics?

Any event that includes comedy’s biggest names is going to attract attention — but the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which kicked off on Sept. 26 and continued through Thursday, is disproving the adage that there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire deal, the first stage in a 20-point plan to end the war. Does this, as Donald Trump says, mean we’re on the cusp of everlasting peace in the Middle East? Will we now see Gaza’s reconstruction under an Arab-led international force as both Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces disappear into the night? Not even close.
