WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump called a birthday note he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein a “dead issue,” seeking to tamp down mounting questions over his past interactions with the late disgraced financier. “I don’t comment on something that’s a dead issue,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News...

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — The late British golf writer Peter Dobereiner never liked the idea of continental Europe being invited to take part in the Ryder Cup, regardless of the Americans winning all but one time over the previous 30 years. He no doubt would feel the same if that...
