"The Idea of Israel: A History of Power and Knowledge" by Ilan Pappé I was a little worried that this would be filled with academic mumbo-jumbo, but it was actually a fairly accessible look at how the "idea" of Israel, and Zionism, as presented in popular culture, academic circles, and the political world, has changed over time, and how those ideas have impacted those living in, and around, Israel.

A biography of that fellow. All but those few minutes would be fiction, but it would still be a story worth telling. I'd love to know what was in the bags, where he was headed that day, etc. -

Who was his father? Track and Field Marshal Goering? -
He gets it right live, then gets it wrong with VAR? Something tells me he won't be vacationing in Tunisia an time soon.

Great point by Federer there at 30-40. Moved him around the court twice to create the winner. Followed by another great point. Astonishing stuff.

They've got some poor bastard stood behind them holding an umbrella during the breaks? Bad enough the same poor bastard spends his day carrying around their sweaty towels. What's next? A palaquin on and off the court? ________________________________________________ Looks like Djokovic is having intermmitent glitches in the targeting system.

If there is a silver lining, it's that the EU is getting more efficient, what with fixing elections across Europe, and all. Three years ago they couldn't even handle a simple referendum. -

"Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001 " by Steve Coll This is a great book (audiobook). What it says on the tin, in detail, and with enough analysis to keep from being a boring recitation of names, dates and events. If you want to add to your understanding of the world today, this one is a must, IMO.
