The cavern near the little town of Combe d’Arc rivals Lascaux, and Altamira in Spain, and is likely to transform most of what little we know about paleolithic man. Unlike those at other sites, the Ardeche paintings depict mostly beasts that humans didn’t hunt, suggesting they were painted for religious or purely decorative reasons....

Pouring me a cup of tea, he described how security personnel had kept him and Zeng, also an activist and blogger, under de facto house arrest for more than 200 days. The agents congregated in the hallways or lounged on makeshift plywood cots perched on the cramped stairway landings leading to Hu’s fourth-floor apartment. “They would be chain-smoking or playing cards or sleeping.

Brooks Koepka was the biggest mover of the day, but he faltered at the finish line and fell into fifth place.

Justice Thomas has faced pressure to recuse himself from such cases since reports outlining the role that his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, played in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
