NEW YORK (AP) — Most directors insist on having final edit approval of their films. Not the creators of “Wireless.” The series on the mobile-platform Quibi employs an ingenious way to tell a story on a smartphone: You see different things on the screen depending on whether you hold your phone vertically or horizontally.

The cathedrals lie empty. Wrigley. Fenway. Yankee Stadium. PNC Park. Progressive Field. Sure, their lights are on as Major League Baseball tries to squeeze in a truncated 60-game season in the middle of a pandemic. But no one is home save for a few dozen players running around in masks under the din of artificial crowd noise in front of a handful of well-positioned cardboard cutouts. Step outside the gates, and the artifice evaporates. Reality sets in. As MLB...

The information isn’t getting stockpiled or shared anywhere. “It’s just our initiative to do antibody testing on our volunteer blood donors, as we’ve had a lot of requests for that,” said Terri Craddock, senior director...
