For a player still finding his way on a new team, making the clinching three-pointer Sunday was no small boost for Clippers forward Nicolas Batum. Yet the moment was just as notable for what preceded it — that Paul George, dribbling into the paint on a night when he scored 39 points, trusted a wide-open Batum enough to pass him the ball with 11 seconds remaining and a three-point lead....

My big question for 2021, and the one that is on every startup’s mind, is how will a cataclysmic event such as a global pandemic show up in post-pandemic innovation?

For almost five years, the estate of Prince has been one of the music industry’s most drawn-out and complex legal thickets, as the star’s heirs aligned in two factions and business conflicts developed over Prince’s storied “vault” of unreleased music. Now the estate also has a problem with the I.R.S. In filings with the U.S. Tax Court, it is clear that the estate and the federal government differ greatly on the value of many of Prince’s assets, including real estate, music rights and the value of Prince’s name and likeness....

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had 11 years to legalize the West Bank outposts but failed to do so.With so much time at the helm of Israel's government, including as defense minister, it would be hard in retrospect to finger anyone else.But that hasn't stopped Netanyahu from trying. It has long been one of his strategies and indeed that of his supporters to transform the reigning defense minister into the whipping boy for the Israeli Right when it comes to stymied actions to support the settlements in the West Bank.So it should come as no surprise that Netanyahu told the Likud secretariat on Saturday night that Alternate Prime Minister and Defense Minister Benny Gantz was responsible for preventing the authorization of some 70 West Bank outposts....

As its title suggests, “Time” measures a temporal span. It’s the two decades that its charismatic and seemingly indefatigable subject, Sibil Fox Richardson, spent working toward the release of her husband, Robert Richardson, from the Louisiana State Penitentiary. But the film, streaming on Amazon Prime, also presents a particular aesthetic challenge. It’s one that Garrett Bradley, the New Orleans-based filmmaker whose documentary made her the first Black woman to win the directing award at the Sundance Film Festival last year, puts at the core of her work, which explores “how past, present and future can all collapse into an understanding of the present moment.”...

Iran is continuing to show that it plans to develop nuclear weapons, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned after Iran announced it had resumed 20% uranium enrichment at an underground nuclear facility on Monday.“Iran’s decision to continue violating its commitments, to increase the level of enrichment and advance its abilities to enrich uranium underground cannot be explained in any way other than the continued implementation of its intention to develop a military nuclear program,” he said.“Israel will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu said.The move is the latest Iranian contravention of the 2015 nuclear deal with major powers, and it could hinder attempts by the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden to rejoin the deal that outgoing President Donald Trump left.“A few minutes ago, the process of producing 20% enriched uranium has started in the Fordow enrichment complex,” government spokesman Ali Rabeie told Iranian state media.The step was one of many mentioned in a law passed by Iran’s parliament last month in response to the killing of the country’s top nuclear scientist, which Tehran has blamed on Israel.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed Iran’s announcement....

Housing activists in New York have spent much of the year preparing for the end of it. Tenant evictions have been halted or delayed by coronavirus relief measures, for the most part, until January 2021. If those measures are allowed to expire — or aren’t extended — it could mean the displacement of thousands of families this winter. “The kind of massive evictions that we could be looking at given the number of people who have not been able to pay their rent is pretty horrifying,” said Judith Goldiner, head of the Legal Aid Society’s civil law reform unit, which pushes for more statewide protections for low-income New Yorkers....
