The CNN anchor made the statement shortly after Trump’s press conference, in which he claimed he had won the election based on “legal” votes and accused cities including Detroit and Philadelphia of being corrupt. Trump continues to claim that the Democrats are trying to “steal” the election with no real evidence, that observers were not allowed to do their job, and that any votes counted now should be determined to be illegal....

Eighth seed Anderson spent close to 11 hours on court in his two previous matches, five-set victories over Roger Federer and John Isner in the quarter-finals and last four respectively. The South African’s major final debut came at last year’s US Open when he was beaten in straight sets by Rafael Nadal, and he lamented being unable to use that experience to his advantage. “It was a tough start for me....

“There’s one more goal: To be MVP of the league,” Kirilenko told the Deseret News in 2003, adding that he wanted “a ring” as well.

In a corresponding move, the Packers activated receiver Jake Kumerow and signed fullback Danny Vitale to the active roster from the practice squad. Daniels, who has 10 tackles and two sacks this season, suffered a foot injury in Week 11 during the second half of a 27-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He was initially expected to miss just a few games, but that timeline has changed. Wide receiver Trevor Davis, who has also been placed on injured reserve, has been dealing with a lingering hamstring injury which he suffered during training camp....

And that’s not even the biggest advantage he and the Packers — who defeated the Rams 32-18 in the NFC divisional round Saturday in Green Bay — will have. Lambeau does provide an edge. Rodgers (23-of-36 passing, 296 yards, two touchdowns) is playing like a soon-to-be three-time NFL MVP. Davante Adams had nine catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in his much-anticipated matchup with Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The Packers’ offense just shredded the league’s best defense for 484 total yards....

Lowe had been serving a leave of absence since March for “personal reasons” with Williams missing the first two days of pre-season testing due to delays with their car. Williams’ season has scarcely improved with the team yet to earn a point, having ended last season on just seven. “After a period of careful reflection I have reached the decision that I will not return to work at Williams,” Lowe said in quotes published on the official F1 website....

Against the Rockies on Wednesday, the Padres shortstop led off the bottom of the second inning with a single up the middle before showing off his speed — and flexibility. He swiped second base — his eighth steal of the season — while first baseman Eric Hosmer was batting, and did the splits to keep his foot on the bag. When he next came to the plate, the 22-year-old Tatis showed off his power....

Giants closer Santiago Casilla had an inning to forget Saturday in San Diego. In the bottom of the 10th against the Padres, Casilla had already blown a one-run lead and had runners at the corners with nobody out as the Padres appeared ready to take the second straight game of the series. Instead it was Casilla giving the Padres a 7-6 win with an embarrassing mistake. MORE: Cubs pitcher says ‘prescription’ potato chips helped end skid...

The Gipper has been fading since 1994 when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. It’s been some time since he could recognize his wife of more than half a century. Before the light went out completely when he passed away on June 5, the Great Communicator gave the country back the hope and pride it had lost in the stagnated 1970s, in the process paving the way for the centrism of Bill Clinton as well as the regular-guy affability of George W....

Captured in New York because of Colepaugh’s bumbling and betrayal, Gimpel tells his story in “Agent 146” (St. Martin’s). Originally published in Germany and Britain in 1957, it’s now released for the first time in the United States. Both men had been sentenced to hang in 1945, but were given last-minute pardons. After a decade in American prisons, Gimpel returned to Germany and wrote up his exploits with an Ian Fleming flair....

On his administration’s greatest accomplishment: We have confounded the prophets of doom. Very serious political analysts predicted that before we had a new dispensation there would be civil war in this country. We disproved such predictions because the ANC had the courage and the vision to know that without talking to our enemies we would never be able to end apartheid… None of you can challenge the statement that whites have been in this country for more than three centuries, and no government in that period has ever achieved the progress this government has achieved....

As an example of history on the fly, Ferguson’s eye-opening new book “Colossus: The Rise and Fall of the American Empire” (400 pages. Allen Lane) could hardly be timelier. An examination of American imperialism past and present, it lands amid the scandalous allegations about U.S. guards at Abu Ghraib prison and the June 30 handover of power in Iraq. “Colossus” is a logical sequel to Ferguson’s acclaimed “Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World....

But when the commission quietly released its final report last month, it asked for more research money and increased government attention, re-igniting some bitter divisions in the health-care community. “We all have a desire for simple and inexpensive solutions,” Dr. Yank Coble, president-elect of the American Medical Association, said of the report’s findings. “But anything that sounds too good to be true often is.” Dr. James Gordon, chair of the commission, said of the backlash, “There were one or two people who said we shouldn’t be studying any of these approaches....

The island has its problems, but 500 channels with nothing to watch isn’t among them. MTV isn’t available, and only a handful of viewers can ingest subversive ideas from Cable News Network. Singapore is building the world’s most sophisticated optical-fiber network for a different purpose. The 230-square-mile city-state wants to be a giant laboratory for advanced telecommunications. “Singapore has been an entrepot, a switching center for goods and people,” says a top planner....

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner added to his portfolio of phenomenal goals with a stunning overhead kick in Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Juventus in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
