Switching handbags is fraught with peril, because when you move to a new bag, you take all your stuff with you. It’s like a miniature house move; and if that sounds overblown, then you underestimate the amount of stuff I carry in my bag. Those dusty inner pockets, once investigated, are a rabbit hole into which your entire morning will disappear as you attempt to repatriate pen lids, while risking your health as you munch on a chewing gum pellet of unknown vintage. Not to mention the inescapable fact that, however thorough you are, you will almost certainly leave your office security pass or your hairbrush in the old bag. And then a whole new raft of issues arise: can I still fit my trainers in the bottom of the bag? Does it fasten properly? (Those airy, open totes are chic in t...

With Thierry Henry snarling in his direction, incredulous at the  howler made by the New York Red Bulls’ rookie  18-year-old, Matt Miazga looked to have a rather steep learning curve ahead of him.

The past year was unanimously acknowledged to have been a good one for Miazga – lifting the Supporters’ Shield as one of the Red Bulls’ standout performers – but maybe not this good. Chelsea confirm signing of Matt Miazga from New...

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court offered a chance for freedom Monday to hundreds of convicted murderers given mandatory sentences of life without parole for crimes they committed as juveniles. The justices ruled 6-3 that child killers locked away for life as long as a half century ago deserve the same consideration as those under 18 who commit murders today. The court ruled in 2012 that mandatory life sentences for juveniles violated the Constitution. The decision means that as many as 1,500 prisoners, some convicted when they were as young as 13, can seek reduced sentences or apply for parole. States retain the right to uphold life sentences, but they no longer can be mandatory. Most of those affected are consolidated in a few states — notably Louisiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania. They are serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for crimes some of them committed decades ago when they were teenagers.
