Donald Trump is scrambling to rescue his campaign after a week in which the Republican nominee’s White House hopes were effectively set ablaze by his own erratic behavior and the discovery that he may not have paid federal income taxes for as many as 18 years. Reeling from a New York Times report that Trump may have canceled out years of income taxes by declaring a $916 million loss on his 1995 return, his allies mounted a vigorous defense Sunday by arguing that the revelation was proof of the ..>> view originalColombians vote against historic peace agreement with FARC rebels

TOLEDO — John Gillespie dug into his omelet with one hand and flipped through the Toledo Blade with the other.
