An ankle injury ruled Pogba out of the Premier League loss to Newcastle United and prevented him linking up with France for international duty. World Cup-winning coach Didier Deschamps indicated Pogba would be out for three weeks, which left him a major doubt for the visit of Liverpool to Old Trafford on October 20.

In some respects, Mikhail Gorbachev’s visit to Washington was a heady replay of the 1987 summit. Once again, he signed historic agreements with American president.

He plunged into Gorbymanic crowds on the sidewalks. “Looking at the Americans, I feel completely at home,” he said after one such encounter. The televised high lights played on the news at 9 back in Moscow, showing Gorbachev to his best–and much-needed–advantage....

The Liga giants continue to be heavily linked with a summer approach for the Belgium international. ‘Only greatest run can deny Chelsea’ Zinedine Zidane is said to be in the market for a new shot-stopper, with his gaze locked on the best that the Premier League has to offer. Manchester United’s David de Gea has been a long-term target for Real, while Courtois has also figured prominently on their radar since impressing in the Spanish capital during a productive three-season loan stint at Atletico Madrid....

The Blues swept to the English top-flight crown last season, with domestic dominance secured in some style. Antonio Conte’s side have, however, endured a faltering defence of that prize to sit 14 points adrift of runaway leaders Manchester City. Chelsea’s Italian coach has already thrown in the towel, claiming that any title talk at Stamford Bridge is “bull****”, and Alonso admits that only a faultless run through 20 fixtures would put the Blues back in the picture....

Alonso’s former club Real Madrid have won the competition for the past two years, eliminating Napoli on their way last term, but the 35-year-old expects Maurizio Sarri’s men to challenge their dominance. The Spaniard lauded Sarri’s side as “attacking and fearless”, with Napoli – who finished third last season – having kicked off the campaign with a 4-0 aggregate win over Nice in the Champions League play-offs, and consecutive 3-1 victories in Serie A....

This condition is most often caused by a tick bite, which transmits a sugar molecule called alpha-gal into the person’s body. In some people, this triggers an immune system reaction that later produces mild to severe allergic reactions. It is believed up to 3% of the population have an alpha-gal allergy, but it’s possible there are more misdiagnosed or undiagnosed cases.

Fernando Alonso returned to Formula 1 with the team last season and had a surprisingly fair season. He managed to pull off a podium at the Qatar Grand Prix.

During the 2000 New York Senate campaign, then-First Lady Hillary Clinton squared off against Rep. Rick Lazio in a debate that proved pivotal.

Everything else in that debate—from the long-forgotten “soft money” question that sparked his gambit to Tim Russert’s invocation of Monica Lewinsky—faded away, along with any chance Lazio had of winning the votes of women....

I was about to write an item detailing why suspending the federal gas tax is a crass ploy for votes–and why Hillary Clinton and John McCain should know better. But it looks like my incomparable NEWSWEEK colleague Jonathan Alter beat me to the punch. Anyway, we’re not alone: Tom Friedman, Paul Krugman and the editors of the Oregonian have all said the same thing. Is there anyone out there who actually thinks a gas-tax holiday is a good idea?...

Data from INPE shows multiple fires burning inside the Araribóia reserve, although this number appears to be reducing.
