For four hours, Raymond V. Buelna, a cultural leader for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, sat on a metal bench in a concrete holding space at the U.S.-Mexico border, separated from the two people he was taking to an Easter ceremony on tribal land in Arizona and wondering when they might be released. It was February 2022 and Buelna, a U.S. citizen, was driving the pair — both from the sovereign Native American nation’s related tribal community in northwestern Mexico…

Putting the STING into cancer immunotherapy

May 12, 2023

Immune checkpoint blockade therapies have been revolutionary in the treatment of some cancer types, emerging as one of the most promising treatments for diseases such as melanoma, colon cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. While in some cases checkpoint blockade therapies elicit a strong immune response that clears tumors, checkpoint inhibitors do not work for all tumor types or all patients. Moreover, some patients who do experience an initial benefit from these therapies see their cancers recur. Only a……

The Mysterious Dodecahedrons of the Roman Empire

May 12, 2023

In the first episode of Buck Rogers, the 1980s television series about an astronaut from the present marooned in the 25th century, our hero visits a museum of the future. A staff member brandishes a mid-20th-century hair dryer. “Early hand laser,” he opines. As an observation of how common knowledge gets lost over time, it’s both funny and poignant. Because our museums also stock items from the past that completely baffle the experts. One of the Strongest Clues: The……

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian military commanders said Friday that their troops had recaptured more territory from Russian forces at the scene of the war’s longest and bloodiest battle, for the eastern city of Bakhmut, but it wasn’t clear if this marked the start of Kyiv’s long-expected counteroffensive. Russia’s Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said Ukrainian forces had stepped up attacks north of the region while denying speculation by Russian military bloggers that the Kyiv forces had achieved “defense breakthroughs.” The…

Here’s what some of history’s most notable warriors ate: The Spartans: Spartans weren’t exactly known for their luxurious lifestyles, but their warriors typically got a reasonable balance of barley, bread, and cheese. Melas zomos, or “black soup,” was one of the staple foods that kept the notoriously tough Spartan soldiers battle-ready. The broth gets its dark hue from pig’s blood, emulsified with vinegar,……

The Evolution of American Military Food

May 12, 2023

From salted beef and canned bread to pizza and cheesecake, military food in the United States has come a long way. Revolutionary War: To keep soldiers from getting scurvy on their diet high in salted beef, pork, and fish, George Washington’s troops were given up to a quart of spruce beer—a handy source of vitamin C used since Viking times—daily. Civil War: Standard rations for Union soldiers included a pound each of salt pork and hardtack bread. When the……

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jayson Tatum humbly believes he is one of the best basketball players in the NBA and not even a lengthy streak of missed shots in a win-or-else Game 6 could shake his faith. Sometimes, though, a pep talk in the heat of the moment lifts even the most confident stars.
