  • Maria and Serena is a compelling rivalry at French Open, but it’s not remotely competitive

    Paris • So much has happened since the last time Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova played each other.Their rivalry — which, truth be told, is not much of a rivalry, considering how one-sided it’s been in Williams’ favor — resumes Monday in the fourth round at the French Open. The most anticipated match of the tournament will be their 22nd head-to-head meeting; Williams has won 19 so far, including 18 in a row.“There is a lot of things in her game that she&rsq
  • Real Salt Lake finds balance in its back line during winning streak

    ‘When I spotted him, our eyes met‘ We had just finished doing baptisms for the dead at the Oakland Temple when a woman from our stake came inside the LDS bookstore, where a friend and I were browsing books, and told us. I immediately sought out my priest quorum adviser, who was a chaperone on the trip, because he had been railing on black people and defending the ban the entire trip. When I spotted him and our eyes met, he quickly looked down like he suddenly felt ashamed.Devery S. A

Winder responds after a pause and with a few crumbs at the corners of his mouth. “I’m very happy.” He ponders his answer again as if the scenery gave him some confirmation. “Very, very h
  • One Sunday, they received the sacrament; the next, they blessed it — how life changed for black Mormons after the priesthood ban

    To many Americans in the civil rights era, it seemed an act of self-loathing for blacks to join any predominantly white church, especially one like Mormonism that barred those of their race from the faith’s offices and holiest rituals. Indeed, not many African-Americans were drawn to the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, given its centurylong ban on black men and boys being ordained to the all-male priesthood and on black women and girls entering Mormon temples.Despit

  • Rideshare diaries: How I nearly failed an important test of a driver — knowing where to make a pit stop

    As a rideshare driver, it’s important to know your way around the city and to make note of certain landmarks, the fastest routes and the best spots to snag new rides. It’s equally important to know where to find public restrooms. A few days ago, after a long chain of back-to-back rides, my bladder hit the brink. I put my rideshare app in pause mode and drove to the nearest gas station. Once inside, I was met with a sign: “We are a small store, so we have no restrooms.”I c
