Kevin Sherrington: Against Houston, Texas Tech has chance to start delivering its promised retribution

Cody Campbell's snit with the Big 12 commissioner over Texas Tech playing a home game against Houston under Friday night lights — a violation of "holy ground," as Joey McGuire put it this week — was a bit much. I mean, it's not like the Red Raiders haven't done it before. As recently as Nov. 24, 1941, in fact. A 7-0 barnburner over Hardin-Simmons. The reason for the heresy back then was the ...

How novelist ​Emily St. John Mandel built ‘Exit Party’ out of a battered LA

Emily St. John Mandel’s brilliant new novel “Exit Party” begins five years in the future at a party in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood where a series of mysterious, hard-to-explain events set the story in motion.
