Jordan Spieth salvaged his British Open performance while the book closed on the often vehement Sean Spicer's tenure as White House press secretary. Authorities opened Salvador Dali's casket and exhumed his body. If Jeffrey Bewkes can close the deal that will make Time Warner property of AT&T, it will be a lucrative end to this chapter in his career. Also, the Senate narrowly defeated the so-called "Skinny Repeal" effort to dismantle Obamacare, closing the latest dramatic chapter on the effort overhaul healthcare.
