[Q]: Back in 2000   Rich Cohen  went on a mission.
The magazine writer  put on the literary map two years earlier with the book "Tough Jews " flew to Chicago to chronicle the legendary losing of  his  favorite baseball team for the esteemed pages of Harper's. It was such an unlikely assignment that the Cubs' hitting coach  Hall of Fame slugger Billy Williams  was convinced there was no such magazine as Harper's;  Cohen  must have made it up to get free tickets.
 Cohen 's observations included Mark Grace's smoking habits (a cigarette at his locker before and after every game)  Joe Girardi's naked body ("old-fashioned  a body from the Great Depression: thick torso and heavy arms  social realism  a WPA poster")  and Sammy Sosa's daily boombox battles with his teammates. They liked loud Pearl Jam. He liked even louder salsa music.  Cohen  wrote: "Today  and each day  it ended with the Pearl Jam turned down and turned off. It was not hard to tell how Sosa's teammates felt about this."
The Cubs lost seven straight games while  Cohen  was on their trail  reinforcing everything  he  was there to see: misery  piled up for generations. The piece is essential reading for any Cubs fan  precisely because  Cohen  is one of us  trying to make sense of it all: "For every Cub fan  there is a season  an inning  an at bat  when all hope is lost  when  at long last  he becomes disillusioned and realizes with dread certainty that no matter how good its prospects the team will never win."
Now  at last   Cohen  gets to update the story.
But how did we get here? Why did such futility endure? What scars were wrought across generations of the fan base? These are the questions  Cohen  takes up  and  he  hints at  his  own scars as early as the dedication. It is to  his  four sons  who "will grow up with the nonsensical idea that the Chicago Cubs are a great baseball team."
To those of us who suffered long enough —  Cohen   me  probably you (any White Sox fan stumbling onto this presumably bailed paragraphs ago) — it still sometimes doesn't quite seem possible. That shared sentiment is part of the book's power.  Cohen  tells a story that is all of ours: "When I was 13  I began going to Cubs games on my own. This was my first taste of adulthood. I've associated Wrigley Field with freedom ever since."

Weaving between history lesson  memoir and fairly faithful sports reporting  "The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse" is a brisk and engaging read. It's hard to say much new or novel about the Cubs — probably no team has had more words spent in a bid to understand it — but  Cohen  does  his  best and employs an advantage even beyond  his  skilled storytelling:  He  has lived a life of good fortune.
Not only has  he  been on the front lines for Harper's  Sports Illustrated  Vanity Fair  Rolling Stone and The New Yorker  but also we learn that  Cohen 's father  legendary negotiation expert Herb Cohen  was friendly with former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda (we get an amusing personal anecdote from it) and Ernie Banks (an even better personal anecdote).
Along the way   Cohen  grapples with the hiccups — '84  '89  '03  '07 and '08 — along with the question of why the Cubs could never pull it out. The answer  of course  is not a literal curse. There may be no single answer  but  Cohen  sifts through a handful of compelling options. The "schizo" ballpark  which offered no true home field advantage. Bad ownership (meaning  in part  the Tribune Company — sorry everyone!). Bad organizational culture. It's not a new insight  but it's a fascinating one: In Chapter 11  current Cubs owner Tom Ricketts says winning the World Series is a fluke. Once you're in the playoffs  he says  any team can win it: "The fact is  when you go back and look  you'll see there's little correlation between how many games you win during a season and how far you go in the postseason. Almost zero." Simply  all the Cubs needed to do all these years was build a core of talent to consistently reach the playoffs. Then a World Series would inevitably have happened. Instead  the franchise was doomed by a lack of vision.

[Q]: Simone Biles has largely spent the past year working with different charities. (Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis)
Itâs a great time for Team USA gymnastics. Less than a week after 16-year-old American Morgan Hurd upset the international favorites to win the all-around title at worlds in Montreal  2016 Olympic phenom  Simone Biles  announced  she  will return to full-time training on Nov. 1 after just over a year off.  Her  ultimate goal is to compete at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
âItâs going to be rough â the 20-year-old told NBC Sports on Thursday  noting  she âll also be employing a new coach  who  she âll name later. âBut the muscle memory is there because Iâve come and Iâve played in the gym. All of my skills are basically still there. There are a couple of skills  like on [balance] beam  that I havenât done yet  like a dismount  because why would I just chuck that? Thereâs no way. And I havenât vaulted since the Olympics.â

 Biles  is giving  herself  plenty of time to get back into top form compared to previous Olympians  including 2016 teammates Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman  who took more than two years off after the 2012 Olympics in London to begin training for last summerâs Games in Rio de Janeiro.
 Biles   whose combined total of 19 world championships and Olympic medals make  her  the most decorated American gymnast ever  said  her  immediate goal is to begin competing on some apparatuses by mid-July  but by the P&G Championships in August to start competing in the all-around category again.
As for up-and-comers like Hurd   Biles  is complimentary.
â[Hurd] is still fairly young  and  she  handled the pressure because  she âs never been on a stage like that â  Biles  said.
Hurd wonât be the only competition that has emerged while  Biles  has spent the last year traveling and promoting several charities. Olympic alternate Ragan Smith  17  has stepped up  her  game  as well  winning the U.S. championship to assert  herself  as a favorite going into worlds. Smith was unable to compete  however  due to a last-minute ankle injury  she  sustained while warming up on the vault.
 Biles  may get a chance to mingle with both if  she  chooses to participate in a U.S. national team camp in January. Right now   she  said  she âll âprobablyâ attend  but  she  wonât be doing anything intensive if  she  goes.
â[Iâd go] just to get back in the swing of things â  Biles  told NBC Sports. âAt least Iâll be back in the rhythm to just go in there and do whatever I need to do. And be with the national team coaches so they can get me up to date on all the new rules and everything.â

[Q]: President Trump brushed aside reports that  he is considering replacing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson   though multiple news outlets say  Tillerson  could be shown the door within weeks.
Pressed about those reports Thursday morning during an Oval Office meeting  Trump said only: "He's here.  Rex  is here."
At the State Department briefing in the afternoon  spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Tillerson "remains the secretary of state and as long as he is serving at the pleasure of the president he ... will continue to do that job." She noted that  Tillerson  visited the White House twice on Thursday. But when asked whether  Tillerson  discussed the reports with the president  Nauert said  "Not to my knowledge."
The New York Times and other outlets are reporting that  Tillerson  could be replaced by CIA Director Mike Pompeo. In turn  Sen. Tom Cotton  R-Ark.  is reportedly a top contender to take Pompeo's place running the spy agency.
 Tillerson  â a former CEO of Exxon Mobil â has had a rocky tenure at the State Department.  He  came into the position with no government or diplomatic experience and has frequently found  himself  at odds with the president on issues such as the value of the Iran nuclear deal and the standoff between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
In early October  reports surfaced that  Tillerson  had called the president a "moron." He pointedly did not dispute those accounts.
 Tillerson  was thought to have an ally in White House chief of staff John Kelly. But according to reports  which NPR has not independently confirmed  Kelly crafted the plan to replace the secretary. Pompeo has risen in the president's estimation during frequent White House intelligence briefings. And Cotton's views are closely aligned with Trump's on Iran and immigration.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders echoed the president's comment that  Tillerson  has not been replaced.
Sen. Bob Corker  R-Tenn.  who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee  defended  Tillerson . He said he'd spoken by phone with the secretary on Thursday  and that  Tillerson  is carrying on business as usual.
He acknowledged  Tillerson  has been a frequent target of negative rumors.
