In the latest episode of Lovecraft Country, we see Baker on stage in a nightclub in Paris, but dancing was just one of the many things the Missouri-born woman did in her 68 years on this earth. She was also the first Black woman to star in a major motion picture, a medal-winning French Resistance agent and a civil rights activist. The most enduring image of Josephine Baker in the popular culture is the costume she used to wear while dancing in Paris’ Folies Bergère in 1927 (the same year she made her movie debut): a skirt of artificial bananas and a beaded brasserie....

Kanchelskis made a name for himself as a flying winger at Old Trafford, winning two Premier League titles at United under Ferguson’s management and playing with the likes of Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs and Bryan Robson. United have not won the league title since Ferguson’s departure, and finished second in 2017-18, with a yawning gap of 19 points to eventual champions Manchester City.

One might reasonably expect a paint-by-musical-numbers bio about Jackson, but with a book by Lynn Nottage that just doesn’t happen. She has never phoned in so much as a sentence in any of her plays, and here she gives us smart dialogue and strong, well-developed characters. She captures the Michael Jackson who had the drive and the talent to tap into whatever the pop music zeitgeist might be, from the soul and disco eras through—and most especially—the MTV era, which he dominated....

Having enjoyed an era of unprecedented success under their iconic former boss, the Red Devils have grown accustomed to winning in a certain manner. Man Utd 1/20 to win CL Group A They have, however, had to rebuild in the wake of Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, with Mourinho the third man to be handed the reins on a permanent basis. His approach is markedly different to that of a legendary predecessor, with the Portuguese often prepared to sacrifice style for substance....

It was, said the battalion’s scholarly executive officer, Maj. Robert Williams, “the chance to do what every cavalry unit wants to do once in its life. Drop the reins and charge.” As the tanks approached Kuwait City, they were stretched out so far they disappeared into a mist thick with smoke from burning oil wells. Their big 120-mm guns swung restlessly from side to side looking like nothing so much as great dinosaurs sniffing for prey....

I met my former fiancé in November 2018. I’m from Swansea, Wales, and he was visiting some friends in the city to celebrate Beaujolais Day, a holiday where we usually get dressed up and drink lots of wine.

This means that it may be a case of now or never for the ‘Tiva’ reunion of Ziva and Tony DiNozzo (played by Michael Weatherly) that fans have been crying out for ever since de Pablo left the series.
