Allmendinger makes hard impact to wall at Iowa

Here is what drivers had to say after Sunday night’s race at Iowa Speedway. Ryan Blaney — Winner: “What a cool way to win here. This place means a lot to me and means a lot to my mom. We had a lot of people here tonight cheering us on, so they willed us to that one. Overall, I really appreciate the whole 12 boys. I mean, our car was really fast all night and we got a little bit better through the night and two tires was a good call there. I didn’t know how well I was gonna hold on. I started to struggle a little bit at the end, but had enough to hang on. I’m super proud of the effort. … It makes up a little bit from a couple weeks ago.”

On the “owners most likely to pack and leave if they don’t get what they want” scale, David Tepper would be at the very top.

Two swimmers in their 30s, and one in her 40s, stood out on day two of the Olympic Trials in Indianapolis. From 1928 through 2012, you could count on one hand the number of U.S. Olympic swimmers over the age of 29.

To assume that Arthur Goldwag’s The Politics of Fear: The Peculiar Persistence of American Paranoia is a simple review of already well-trod contemporary politics would be a serious mistake. The short (284-page) work offers thoughtful and important insights on a country he describes as “marinated in conspiracy theory.” (4) Goldwag takes his reader on a journey that is vast in its historical depth, and sometimes breathtakingly disturbing.
