Normally, I am in my research tower observing elephants from afar, at my field site in the northeast corner of Etosha National Park, Namibia. Or, if up close, I’m sitting on top of my research bunker twenty meters from the waterhole. My feet would be poised on the subterranean ladder rungs—thighs taut, ready to scramble down to safety if need be, while taking ID photos of individual elephants. But here I was, perched on a heavy metal bar mounted in the place of the passenger door of a Toyota Landcruiser, like John Wayne rustling up wildlife in the film, Hatari....

That same day, an ambulance picked me up and drove me to a hospital in Hertfordshire, England....

Latty says her interest in the project stems from her late father, Albert, a Navy steward in World War II. He filled her childhood in New York City’s Harlem with tales of war. They weren’t all easy to hear. “He would tell me about the racism and discrimination,” says Latty. “But every story always ended with him saying how proud he was to serve his country.” That sentiment is echoed in the thoughts of older vets, who often fought for a country that wasn’t fighting for them....

The Belgian has had a disappointing season so far, since his £97.5 million transfer from Inter Milan in the summer. Azpilicueta, however, believes it will only be a matter of time till the striker finally finds his feet at the club.

The Norwegian striker made a flying start to his Premier League career after scoring both his team’s goals against West Ham United. The Hammers had done a decent job of defending against the Sky Blues. However, Haaland proved to be a difference maker against them. For the first goal, the Norwegian was played through by Ilkay Gundogan and ended up enticing a challenge from goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański. Haaland only had to touch the ball away from the keeper to win the penalty and duly converted it....

The Russian was asked during his post-match press conference about the big opportunity that lay before him: he is the only top 10 player left in the men’s draw, and the near-unanimous favorite to lift the trophy.

The Manchester United centre-back has not played for his club since being withdrawn in the first half of this month’s 0-0 friendly draw with Germany with a thigh problem. Mourinho was scathing of England’s decision to play Jones, claiming he had never before experienced a player receiving six pain-killing injections in order to play in a non-competitive game.
