There's a lot to unpack in Trump's law-and-order rhetoric and strategy. Here's what we wrote today: usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

It is bad enough that so many people believe things without any evidence. What is worse is that some people have no conception of evidence and regard facts as just someone else's opinion.

I want to understand the Indy 500’s “Andretti Curse,” so I called the only guy I thought could help me. I called Mario Andretti. indystar.com/story/sports/co…

Doyel: 'Andretti Curse' at Indy 500 can't possibly be real. Maybe.

The more Mario Andretti talks about Indianapolis 500's so-called "Andretti Curse," the more he tries to debunk the myth, the more it sounds plausible.
