State Department installs new coordinator as probe of mysterious neurological attacks on diplomats in Cuba continues

Publishing saw upheaval in 2020, but 'books are resilient'

(AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File)NEW YORK – Book publishing in 2020 was a story of how much an industry can change and how much it can, or wants to, remain the same.

Little to celebrate in Pamplona with no running of the bulls

Known for its races with bulls running along cobbled streets, the festival was popularized by Ernest Hemingways 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises and was last called off during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.
