British pharmaceuticals group AstraZeneca, which is finalizing a vaccine against Covid-19, said Saturday it was buying US biotech firm Alexion for $39 billion to boost its work on immunology. 

Italy overtakes Britain with highest death toll in Europe as world fatality total approaches 1.6 million.

The man who would break the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 at Muroc field would teach us important lessons. Chuck Yeager once said, “You’ve got to know when to push it, and when to back off.” And yes, the great man himself, passed away last week at the age of 97 in Los Angeles – the man who broke the sound barrier and would inspire Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff, and the movie of the same name.

The most telling aspect of the Wisconsin federal district court’s rejection of another Trump campaign lawsuit on Saturday is so obvious it is easy to miss. And no, it is not that the rejecting was done by a Trump-appointed judge, Brett H. Ludwig, or that it was done on the merits. After all that’s been said over the last six weeks, this fleeting passage near the start of the court’s workmanlike, 23-page decision and order should take our breath away (my highlighting): "With the Electoral College meeting just days away, the Court declined to address the issues in piecemeal fashion and instead provided plaintiff with an expedited hearing on the merits of his claims. On the morning of the hearing, the parties reached agreement on a stipulated set of facts and then presented arguments to the Court."
