Ferguson: As the city marked the one-year anniversary of the shooting of teenager Michael Brown, police in Ferguson, Mo. last night shot and critically wounded a man who had been involved in a gunfight and fired at an unmarked police car. Police said the shooting happened after two rival groups had been firing at each other in the center of the protest area. Police chased the man and he shot at their car. Dozens of bullets were fired and the cops recovered a stolen 9mm pistol from the wounded man.

Healthcare.Coke: Coca Cola, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of sugary drinks, is backing a new campaign focusing on exercise rather than diet as a solution to obesity. Coke is giving money to an organization called the Global Energy Balance Network, a name that doesn’t reveal its mission.

An exercise scientist working for the organization said in an announcement video that “Most of the focus in the popular media and in the scientific press is, ‘Oh they’re eating too much, eating too much, eating too much’ — blaming fast food, blaming sugary drinks and so on. And there’s really virtually no compelling evidence that that, in fact, is the cause.”

The Obit Page: Frank Gifford, the versatile and remarkably handsome New York Giants running back who was a member of three national championship teams and became the play-by-play man in the glory days of ABC’s Monday Night Football, died yesterday at home in Greenwich, Conn. at age 84. He was the husband of NBC’s morning host Kathie Lee Gifford.

In his early days as a player Gifford was a man about town in New York, and he remained a celebrity for the rest of his life. But he was a great football player.

Gifford was named to seven NFL Pro Bowls and was inducted into the Hall of Fame. He retired and sat out the 1961 season after receiving one of the most memorably brutal hits in NFL history. The picture of the Eagles’ linebacker Chuck Bednarik standing over the flattened Gifford is one of the iconic images of football. But Gifford returned to play three more seasons, played in two more championship games, and was named to the Pro Bowl one last time in 1963.

Share the Love: After widespread condemnation for his nasty remarks about Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Republican candidate Donald Trump announced on ABC News yesterday that he likes women. “They are phenomenal. And I have many executives that are women,” he said on ABC’s This Week. “They are doing a phenomenal job. I pay them a tremendous amount of money. They make money for me.”

Trump’s fellow candidates are distressed that he can’t say anything crazy enough to lose his leading position in the polls. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham told the Washington Post, “Donald Trump is an out-of-control car driving through a crowd of Republicans, and somebody needs to get him out of the car.”
