'60 Minutes' opens 59th season on CBS with no direct mention of show's off-season turmoil

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — The venerable newsmagazine “60 Minutes” opened its 59th season on CBS-TV on Sunday night with no direct mention of the turmoil and departures that have unfolded behind the scenes in recent months.

Hosts waited until the show's end to acknowledge that anything different was going on.

While speaking about the claim that there is a narrow window to make artificial intelligence safe for humanity, an announcer segued into the topics of journalism and “60 Minutes”: “For almost 60 years it has meant the same thing — journalism you can trust. Where...

Ben Johnson wants Bears to be top-scoring offense in NFL history. They're off to a good start

AP News CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson said last month that winning the Super Bowl isn't enough for him. He wants to have the highest-scoring offense in NFL history.

AP News STOCKHOLM (AP) — Sweden’s national election was too close to call early Monday, with preliminary results giving the left-wing opposition a razor-thin one-seat advantage over Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s right wing coalition and days of uncertainty until the final ballots are counted.

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — Trinity Rodman made it from the soccer pitch to the tennis court in time to watch boyfriend Ben Shelton in the U.S. Open final.

Shelton had to begin his first attempt to win a Grand Slam title without Rodman in the stands. She was busy with her own career, playing for the Washington Spirit of the NWSL on Sunday.

Rodman, a star for the U.S. women's national team, was with the Spirit for their 3-0 loss at home to Boston Legacy FC, then headed north to New York.

She arrived at some point near the end of Shelton's 6-3, 7-6 (2), 5-7, 6-2 loss to...
