NEW YORK — “Predator: Badlands” led all films in North American theaters with a debut of $40 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, a better-than-expected result that slightly lifted the box office from its autumn doldrums. On the heels of the worst box office weekend of 2025, ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: Recently, I underwent breast cancer surgery at my local hospital. Imagine my surprise when I found several staff members who weren’t wearing masks in the operating room. Later I learned the policy is that staff do not have to mask up until the field is sterile. In your opinion, is this good disease control management? It certainly made me feel unsafe as I went under general anesthesia. –– P.T. ANSWER: The surgical team wears masks in the operating room to reduce the risk of the patient getting an infection. This is only part of the routine to reduce surgical ...
Today is Tuesday, Nov. 11, the 315th day of 2025. There are 50 days left in the year. Today is Veterans Day.

Closure can be losing the urge to reach for your wallet, click an option, or open a tab. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Keep returning to the same thought and ...
I’ve always held Stephen King in pretty high regard. I grew up in Maine about an hour from where the thrill master lived. I remember one Halloween, some college friends and I drove by his Addams Family-esque house to see if it was a truly spooky sight. I remember it being very dark and ...
Donald Trump has trampled on another taboo, and it’s a good thing. The president said in a Truth Social post that the United States will begin “immediately” testing our “Nuclear Weapons” on “an equal basis” with Russia and China. It’s not clear what this means exactly. Trump could be referring to the delivery systems that carry nuclear weapons or the weapons themselves.
