The four-hour Opening Ceremonies had a gutted budget but a soaring feel as the stadium in this seaside city pulsed with lights, fireworks, circus-like acrobatics and a samba singalong that embraced the nation’s partyi..>> view originalA girl was found dead in a landfill 49 years ago.

Teala Thompson. (Courtesy of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) After Mary Thompson moved to Greensburg, Pa., in the mid-1990s, her sick mother told her something she never forgot. “She told me to be careful in Greensburg because I had a sister that was murdered up there,” Thompson told The Washington Post. Thompson’s mother died in the early 2000s, but her words stayed with her daughter — because she did have an older sister who disappeared on a fall day in 1967, when T..>> view originalTrump endorses House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen.

A Turkish court issued an arrest warrant Thursday for Gulen, an influential Muslim cleric who has lived in the United States since 1999 and is the leader of a vast network of organizations, schools and fol..>> view originalThe sinking fantasy that Trump would defend the Constitution
