  CLEVELAND, Ohio – Only hard-core baseball fans watch every pitch at a game. The rest simply enjoy themselves. That's how things will be Sunday, if Scott Skiba's dream for Cleveland Opera Theater's second annual free concert at Dunham Tavern Museum comes true. Some, he hopes, will hang on every note.

  NEW YORK (AP) — For a few minutes, it felt like 1980 again. An American versus a Russian, this time squaring off in a swimming pool instead of an ice skating rink. Lilly King's victory over Russian swimmer Yulia Efimova in the 100-meter breaststroke Monday was portrayed by NBC as a victory of clean sportsmanship over cheating. Efimova had already served a 16-month suspension for doping and tested positive earlier this year for a now-banned substance, and her initial suspension from the Olymp..
