Q: The White House confirmed Sunday that  Russian President Vladimir Putin  spoke with President Donald Trump in what Russian state media has described as a thank-you call following a CIA tip about a bomb threat in St. Petersburg.
Russia's main state broadcaster  Vesti  said Sunday that  Putin  called Trump to thank  him  for a CIA tip that helped Russian police thwart a terrorist attack in St Petersburg.
According to  Vesti  Putin  asked Trump to thank CIA Director Mike Pompeo for providing the information  and  he  told the U.S. president that "the Russian security services  in the case where they receive information regarding terrorist threats in relation to the U.S. and its citizens  will without question and immediately pass it to their American colleagues."
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed the call from Putin to Trump took place and said a readout would be provided to the press shortly.

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."
Jessica Medoff / Farrar  Straus and Giroux Magazine writer Rich Cohen chronicles the Cubs’ journey to a World Series championship in “The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse.” Magazine writer Rich Cohen chronicles the Cubs’ journey to a World Series championship in “The Chicago Cubs: Story of a Curse.” (Jessica Medoff / Farrar  Straus and Giroux) (Jessica Medoff / Farrar  Straus and Giroux)
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: Consider the case of  Rita Habib Ayyoub  a 30-year-old Iraqi Christian woman .
 Ayyoub  is one of hundreds  possibly thousands  of Christians and several thousand Yazidis captured in Iraqâs Nineveh province.  She  was forced to become a Muslim and a sex slave. Iraqi lawyers documented 68 Christians still in ISIS captivity in August.
 Ayyoub  told journalists that  she  was taken to a slave market in Mosul and sold  along with three Christian children  to ISIS âemirs.â A local Sunni man bought her and a 14- year old Yazidi girl. âHe raped the both of us over and over again â  she  says.
 Ayyoub  says  she  was later resold in Raqqa to another jihadi who had a Moroccan wife.  Ayyoub  relates  her  horrific ordeal in that family: âI was beaten and tortured by  her  (the jihadiâs wife) every day.  She  would not give up until I was bleeding  from my head  for example. They made me read the Quran and threatened to kill me if I did not convert to Islam.â
 Ayyoub  was rescued by Syrian Democratic Forces in November and is now being aided in Syria by a small womenâs group of Assyrians (a traditionally Christian ethnicity) â  not by the U.N.
Assyrian Swedish journalist Nuro Kino  who is helping Ayyoub   tells me that  she  does not know where to go next.  Ayyoubâs  hometown of Qaraqosh   Iraqâs  largest Christian city  stands mostly empty.
Conceivably   Ayyoub  could end up in the Erbil Catholic Chaldean Archdioceseâs displacement center  which shelters most displaced Iraqi Christians and has not had U.N. support.
But while  Ayyoub  may not be able to access U.N. aid  her ISIS tormentors can  thanks in part to generous U.S.-taxpayer-supported U.N. âstabilizationâ aid.
Though  Ayyoubâs enslaver  is likely dead   his  radicalized Moroccan wife might also qualify for U.N. resettlement help in Telkayf. That Nineveh town was Christian until the U.N. decided to move in the families of ISIS jihadis killed in battle and  thus  effectively bar its Christiansâ return.
