Bill Clinton Portrayals in Pop Culture, Ranked – The Ringer

American Crime Story: Impeachment, the latest installment in Ryan Murphy’s wildly popular series about 1990s media circuses, answers a question that’s dogged the moviegoing public for more than a decade: Whatever happened to Clive Owen? Good news: The Inside Man star has traded his coveralls and giant revolver for a baggy fin de siècle suit and a creaky Arkansas drawl as he portrays Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States. After well-received and award-winning explorations of the O.J. Simpson trial and the murder of designer Gianni Versace, Murphy is turning his lens to Clinton’s impeachment, which came to define his presidency and shaped the political and media culture we’ve inhabited in the two and a half decades since. Clinton came to prominence and power i...

All parents should be outraged in fight against pediatric brain cancer, say two CNN correspondents – CNN

"It really is like someone hands you your heart," said Marsh, who is a CNN correspondent. "My instinct from the second that I was holding him was to protect him. And my purpose in life was making sure that Blake was well, making sure that Blake had all that he needed." For CNN investigative reporter Andrew Kaczynski, that moment came when he saw a blip that looked like a "bean" on an early ultrasound. "We began calling her 'Bean' and even after Francesca was born, the nickname stuck," Kaczynski said. "Francesca was just like the most smiley, bubbly little baby. She loved to smile at me. My favorite part of the day was always waking her up from her nap and just seeing that big smile across her face," he told CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta in the opening episode of seaso...

What we know about the new C.1.2 coronavirus variant – Al Jazeera English

While much of the world’s focus has been on the Delta variant of coronavirus, a new variant has been identified in South Africa. Currently referred to as the C.1.2 variant, it is yet to be called a variant of interest or concern by the World Health Organization (WHO), but is drawing the attention of scientists due to the number and types of mutations it contains and the speed at which the mutations have occurred. C.1.2 is reported to be the variant carrying the most mutations since the original “wild” variant emerged in China. A pre-print study put out by South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases said the C.1.2 variant was first identified in the Gauteng and Mpumalanga provinces in May 2021; it has since been found in other South African provinces as well as in the...

Young adult cannabis consumers nearly twice as likely to suffer from a heart attack, research shows – CNN

Adults under 45 years old who consumed cannabis within the last 30 days, suffered from nearly double the number of heart attacks than adults who didn't use the drug, according to research published Tuesday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Cannabis refers to psychoactive preparations of the Cannabis sativa plant, the psychoactive chemical of which is tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, according to the World Health Organization. Researchers analyzed health data from over 33,000 adults ages 18 to 44 included in US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveys in 2017 and 2018. Of the 17% of adults who reported using cannabis within the previous month, 1.3% later had a heart attack while only 0.8% of non-cannabis users reported the same. Some people assume that consuming canna...
