More than 400 attendees are expected to hear from presidential hopefuls, including Nikki Haley, a former South Carolina governor who was Donald Trump's U.N. ambassador, and tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. Organizers expect issues such as gas prices and national security to get plenty of attention.

Students are concerned, too. Some fear for their physical safety. Many worry their teachers will be fired en masse and their courses and books will be policed. It’s increasingly hard to focus on their studies. For years, students have come to this public liberal arts college on the western coast of Florida because they were self-described free thinkers. Now they find themselves caught in the crosshairs of America’s culture war. Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has targeted the tiny school on the shores of Sarasota Bay as a staging ground for his war on “woke.” The governor and … [Read more...] about A college in upheaval: War on ‘woke’ sparks fear in Florida

Listen to this article Fuoco explained that he couldn’t see through the fast and bumpy Turn 17 horseshoe and had to rely on his reference points to the side of the circuit as he completed the lap that gave the #50 Ferrari 499P pole for the Sebring 1000 Miles by two tenths of a second. “If I’m honest, in the last corner, I just sent it in, because I had the feeling it was a good lap,” said the Italian. “I had the sun on my visor and it was quite tricky to see the corner, but I had my reference points from free practice. “I had a big moment on the bumps, but in the end it worked out."

Luis Perez Companc was uninjured in the crash, but the damage to the tyre barriers meant racing did not resume until lap 13.
