Tom Freston has never been a typical media executive. Freston began with a countercultural spirit that shaped an adventurous career spanning from co-founding MTV to leading Viacom and Paramount Pictures. After spending 26 years at Paramount—now caught up in the $100 billion bidding for Warner Bros Discovery—he remains a defining figure in the evolution of modern entertainment. The 80-year-old executive, who sounded remarkably youthful in a phone interview with Fortune, harkened back to the days in the 1960s and ’70s when “freedom was in the air.” The vibe was very different then: “It was like, I don’t want to work for ‘the…

Defeat to Sevilla would place substantially more scrutiny on Alonso, and Madrid…

The extremist settlers, armed and sometimes masked, lead their herds to drink from the family’s scant water supplies while Mr. Abu Naim watches from the ramshackle tents of Al Mughayir, where he lives above the valley.“I beg you, I beg you. God, just let us be,’” Mr. Abu Naim recalled telling settlers during a recent confrontation. “Just go away. We don’t want any problems.”Vast stretches of his family’s farm and wheat…
