Israel said it would allow Egypt to deliver some water, food and medical supplies into Gaza, where all are in short supply. The deliveries only apply to southern Gaza — Israel ordered residents in the north to evacuate ahead of a potential invasion — and does not include fuel for generators to power hospitals. Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas continue to blame each other as the source of an explosion that killed hundreds of Palestinians at a Gaza hospital Tuesday.

Rep. Jim Jordan had an even weaker showing in his second attempt to become House speaker: He received two fewer votes than the first round.

Starting Oct. 26, United Airlines will start boarding window-seat passengers first in the economy section of domestic flights and some international flights. United said that will speed up boarding times, but we think the real metric for success will be how many awkward situations it prevents between window passengers and those who just got settled into their middle and aisle seats.

This is right up there with the invention of the wheel.

Fugees rapper Pras Michél, who was convicted in April of charges related to several political conspiracies, said his first lawyer was so unprepared and incompetent that he should get a new trial.

Led by hoops star A'ja Wilson's 24 points and 16 rebounds, the Las Vegas Aces defeated the New York Liberty in four games to pull off back-to-back titles, which hasn't happened in the WNBA for more than two decades.

Can the Aces make it three of a kind next year? (We'd make a better joke, but we don't know card references unless you count Go Fish.)

The dancer's new short film, which she stars in and produced, tells the story of community, displacement and resistance without using a single word. Using "the power of movement" to elevate people and issues that have been ignored "is where I think ballet should be headed," she said.

We're not sure if it's the dazzling foliage, the comfortable weather or the pressure of cuffing season, but there's something special about going on a date in the fall.
