There is no Finder or root-level file navigation. It's apps, apps, apps, as far as the eye can see.

Thanks to talent, persistence and an eye for irony, he climbed the ladder of the profession. Dennis hung around the cooperative agency Magnum until founder Robert Capa invited him to join, and he was still an active member when he died on Jan. 11 at 81.

The reform movement is desperately needed at the lowest levels of the game, where amateur coaches can cause the most harm to their young players. It should also target the very ways in which football is covered and consumed. Spectators who fetishize the sights and sounds of high-speed collisions share responsibility for those who suffer the consequences of such violent encounters...
