Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) warned that the “train is coming” in her prosecution of former President Trump in his election interference case, despite efforts to slow down the case amid the discovery of her once-romantic relationship with a former special prosecutor. Willis, who avoided being disqualified from the case after appointing her former boyfriend to work it, said the weeks-long process detailing her relationship didn’t derail the main case because her team “has been continuing to work.”

Simon Pearson's The Great Escaper places Bushell in Prague at the time Heydrich's car was bombed by Czechoslovakian Jan Kubiš, and Slovak Jozef Gabčík, which led to the Nazi officer's death a number of days later.

In June 1942, Thomas Mann, who was living in exile in California, delivered a commentary on a German-language BBC radio program that decried the sanguinary actions of the Third Reich in avenging the assassination of the leading SS official Reinhard Heydrich in Prague.

But the first scholarly biography of him finds that a combination of shame, love and luck -- rather than purely inherent evil -- led him to pursue a path of Nazi terror. The site for the assassination was carefully chosen at a point where a steeply sloping street in Prague's Libe district made a hairpin turn,...
