‘Nyad’ review: Swimming 110 miles in open water, never mind the sharks

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:34:50 GMT

Nina Metz | Chicago TribuneLong-distance swimming in open water presents challenges beyond the physical grind. Think sharks. And venomous jellyfish. Those are just two of the potentially fatal problems Diana Nyad must contend with swimming from Cuba to Florida — nonstop and unaided — with only a support boat by her side to monitor her progress and squirt water and other nourishment down her throat every so often. Adapted from her memoir, the Netflix movie “Nyad,” starring Annette Bening, charts her arduous journey.Your first question might be: Why? The movie struggles to find an answer beyond “because it’s there” and because of some emotional wounds from childhood that she’s looking to mend. But why this goal over any other? Why this stretch of water? We’re left to guess. But it’s a helluva accomplishment, one that no one has completed before or since.An athlete and sports journalist, Diana is off-putting from the start, the kind of person who doesn’t talk so much as rant: “Laziness...

Editorial: Is Donald Trump eligible to be president? Depends on how you define “insurrection.”

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:34:50 GMT

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to be America’s commander-in-chief.The former president’s actions following the November 2020 election were so egregious that returning him to office could pose a serious threat to our democracy, but unfortunately, his insidious lies still carry a following of voters hoodwinked by Trump’s outlandish tale of election fraud. There is a real risk of him becoming the Republican nominee for president again.Several brave and principled Coloradans, at great personal cost, are suing to keep Trump off the Colorado ballot in 2024 under the 14th Amendment’s Section 3. The trial began last week in Denver with Judge Sarah B. Wallace hearing evidence in the juryless proceeding. (One of the plaintiffs, Krista Kafer, is a regular opinion columnist for The Denver Post.)The intent of the disqualification clause could not be clearer – anyone who has sworn an oath to the Constitution (required for federal public office holders) and then engaged in insurrection or rebellio...
