** All Apologies
------------------------------------------------------------
Russia sought an apology from Fox News today after the host Bill O’Reilly described President Vladimir V. Putin as “a killer” during an interview with President Trump, as the
New York Times’ Kimiko de Freytas-Tamura reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/06/world/europe/oreilly-putin-trump-killer.html?_r=0&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=39aa3ecfb1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_02_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-39aa3ecfb1-145367789) .

** Les Misérables
------------------------------------------------------------
The embattled center-right candidate in France’s presidential race, François Fillon, called an extraordinary news conference today in Paris to defend hiring his wife as a parliamentary assistant, saying he had been the victim of a “media lynching,” as the
Guardian’s Angelique Chrisafis reports (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/06/francois-fillon-admits-error-but-refuses-to-quit-french-presidential-race?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=39aa3ecfb1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_02_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-39aa3ecfb1-145367789) .

** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not a New England Pats fan. But I love Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Gronk, Bill Belichick and team owner Robert Kraft. There are really only a couple of teams that can beat the Patriots this time of year. Maybe I love the Pats because my Baltimore Ravens are one of the few teams that can win in Foxborough in the AFC Playoffs as they did in 2010—almost no other team can because the Patriots are far above everyone else on a consistent basis.

Maybe it’s because I love New Englanders and especially, Bostonians. These people have the best spirit and best accents ever. They are soulful like people from Baltimore in that way. Maybe it’s just because of my colleague and great friend Craig Cohen. Either way, the Patriots did something in Super Bowl 51 that defies description.

So, in honor of the Pats, a big smile (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY2p1gSOk3c&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=39aa3ecfb1-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_02_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-39aa3ecfb1-145367789) from the rock group Boston, live in ’79.
