Read more Letters to the Editor.Pinball wasn’t alwaysso welcomingRe: “Pinball league tilts balance of power through diversity” (Page A1, Sept. 26).I simply wanted to share a story because in 1957, when I was 8, I played pinball for a short time at a corner store named “Sy’s” that was two blocks from my house.Corner stores back in the day, at least as far as I knew, didn’t sell liquor. Sy’s had one pinball machine, where we could play for a nickel. It also had a small counter where we sat on stools and drank sodas, also a nickel. (My favorite was vanilla Coke.) Anyway, one day, the owner, Sy, came up to me and said, “Little girls shouldn’t play pinball, so you have to leave.” I didn’t understand why, but I accepted the finality of it. I was hurt, confused and angry, but there were no words. And it saddened and frustrated me for a long time.Thanks for writing about women and pinball.Julie D...

By WILL WEISSERT and STEVE PEOPLESSIMI VALLEY — Republicans are meeting for their second presidential debate on Wednesday as Donald Trump’s top rivals seek to blunt the momentum of the former president, who is so confident of cruising through the party’s primary that he again won’t share a stage with them.Seven GOP candidates will be at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for an event hosted by Fox Business Network. Trump will be in Michigan, delivering a prime-time speech attempting to capitalize on the Auto Workers Union strike and trying to appeal to rank-and-file union members in a key state for the general election.The debate comes at a critical moment in the GOP campaign, with less than four months before the Iowa caucuses formally launch the presidential nomination process. For now, Trump is dominating the field even as he faces a range of vulnerabilities, including four criminal indictments that raise the prospect of decades in prison. His rivals are running out of time t...

Fantasy plays: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 4

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 04:29:03 GMT

Kudos if you started De’Von Achane (49.3 half-PPR points) last week. There aren’t many of you, but for the handful that did, he single-handedly won you your week.The same goes for Raheem Mostert (41.7 points).Basically, if you had anyone on the Miami Dolphins (70 actual points) you were in a pretty strong spot to win your Week 3 fantasy matchup.That said, week-winning performances weren’t solely reserved for Dolphins.Keenan Allen (36.5), Davante Adams (35.7), and the Buffalo D/ST (32) all delivered performances that surely had fantasy managers smiling (or, if you played against them like me, weeping).Entering Week 4, we can finally start to get rid of preseason narratives and projections in favor of the actual in-season data. Even so, it can be difficult to think rationally about the underperforming players you spent a lot of draft capital on, or to know whether your hot waiver add is legit.But don’t worry.I’ve got you covered.Every week, I’ll be listing every fantasy-relevant playe...
