Some of the stereotypical differences between the United States and France do check out, according to Antoine Levy: The weather and the food are much worse in New England, he says, and the people are much more welcoming. But for Levy, who is about to start the fifth year of his MIT PhD program in economics, the U.S. is starting to feel like his native France in some ways.
"For a long time, I thought France was obsessed by politics and the United States was not," he recalls. However, his impression has changed over the last five years.

How Cubs could be thwarted at trade deadline by COVID-19 economics, protocols | NBC Sports Chicago
Imagine pulling off a trade of significance at a trade deadline 40 days into a 67-day season, with protocol-trust and health issues in play, few motivated sellers and financial angst and uncertainty throughout the sport.
