I would like to know his argument for his political position.

I have been dominated.  It does not feel good.

A Quixotic Hunt for Mammoth Creatures That Ends in Tragedy

After reading that ancient bones were discovered in Kentucky, the 19th-century protagonist of Carys Davies’s new novel, “West,” sets out to find the living creatures.

A screenplay is always rewritten.

Some knitting needles do not have a knob.

Most tennis fans have heard of the unforced error. But the forced error is more abundant in matches and a better indicator of a player’s performance.

I do not watch tennis.

A Salad That Goes With the Grain

Farro, an ancient wheatlike grain, pairs well with crisp green beans, bright asparagus slivers and creamy avocado.
