Bruce Bochy is back in the postseason with the Texas Rangers. He missed it while he was away.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Bruce Bochy was home the past three Octobers, doing a little fishing and hitting a few golf balls after stepping away from a 25-year managerial career that included three World Series championships.As enjoyable and relaxing as that all was, he found himself missing more and more where he preferred to be this time of the year. Bochy is back in the dugout for the postseason in his first season with the Texas Rangers, whose general manager is one of his former pitchers who lured him out of his brief retirement. “I’m having the time of my life,” said the 68-year-old Bochy, who is going to his first American League Championship Series. The Rangers were mired in a string of six consecutive losing seasons. With Bochy in charge, they went 90-72 before sweeping the first two rounds in these playoffs against the AL’s winningest teams this year — Tampa Bay in the Wild Card Series, then Baltimore in the Division Series.“You look at a man like Boch that’s done...

Israeli envoy: Hamas ‘animals’ must be destroyed

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:56 GMT

Israel’s Ambassador to Berlin Ron Prosor said the Western world must stand with Israel as it fights the “bloodthirsty animals” of Hamas. Speaking to POLITICO’s transatlantic podcast Power Play, the diplomat said militants from the armed Palestinian group “will pay a price” for their recent terror attack against Israel, which left more than 1,200 people dead in what Prosor called the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.“This is civilization against barbarity. This is good against bad,” Prosor said. “This is people who basically act as animals and do not have any, any respect for children, women.”Prosor was doubling down on language by Israel’s Defense Minister Yoan Gallant, who sparked controversy by saying Israel was fighting “human animals.” Talking about Israel’s retaliatory measures against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Prosor said the goal can no longer be containment, as trying to contain Islamic jihadists “does not and will never work.”Isra...

What’s in a name? Why unmet medical needs are riling the pharma industry 

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:56 GMT

This article is the product of a POLITICO Working Group presented by Sanofi. The debate over how to make pharmaceutical companies treat all European markets fairly is raging. But there’s a second front opening in the industry’s fightback against the European Commission’s pharmaceutical reform: the category of unmet medical need. The idea seems innocent enough. It’s an incentive that rewards new drugs for patients with serious diseases who don’t have any other treatments and whose medical needs are, well, unmet. But it’s already provoking strong reactions in some corners, with objections spanning from accusations of more red tape to worries that it will actually stymie innovation.“Having another step of evaluation [in the drug approval process] would just add complexity, and create unbelievable discussions between member states,” said Christian Deleuze, deputy managing director for innovation at Sanofi, who was speaking at a working group on rare...

Editorial: The horrific cost of Biden’s $6B Iran deal

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:56 GMT

Once again, Joe Biden’s blunders have had deadly consequences.The president believed that unfreezing $6 billion in assets to Iran, a nation that funds terrorists, wouldn’t have any negative repercussions.The mounting death toll and tales of horror in Israel speak volumes to the contrary.Biden, the $6 Billion Man, approved the August deal to unfreeze the assets in exchange for the release of five American prisoners. Under the terms of the deal, the money can only be used for humanitarian-related purposes, including purchasing food or other goods outside Iran for import, U.S. officials said.As this administration has shown repeatedly, it doesn’t have a firm grasp of how money works.Nikki Haley, former South Carolina governor and 2024 Republican presidential candidate, pointed out that allowing Iran access to those funds under any circumstances improves its budget situation, freeing up money that would be used to use elsewhere, Reuters reported,“Let’s be h...

Foxx, Jones knock ’em dead in ‘The Burial’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:59:56 GMT

Shot a year before Jamie Foxx’s mysterious hospitalization, “The Burial” is a demonstration of that acting phenomenon known as chemistry. I am not only talking about the marvelous and amusing chemistry between fellow Texans Jamie Foxx, playing real-life wealthy lawyer Willie E. Gary; and Tommy Lee Jones as Mississippi funeral home owner and father of 13 children Jeremiah O’Keefe. Although Gary is a personal injury lawyer with the manner and vocabulary of a fundamentalist Baptist preacher, he is hired in 1995 by O’Keefe to be lead attorney in his lawsuit against a Canadian corporation run by the menacing Ray Loewen (Bill Camp).The chemistry spills all over the screen in this film, thanks to some brilliant casting. When Loewen’s legal team learns that O’Keefe has hired Gary and that the case will be heard in a small Mississippi county called Hinds, where the population is two-thirds African-American, Loewen hires Howard-and-Harvard-educated Mame Downes (J...
