Costa completed an emotional return to Atleti — whom he joined Chelsea from in 2014 — last week following a controversial close season, but is not eligible to play until January.

“Big breasts are popular, people look around, they say, ‘Oh … they’re scary … I’m going to vote for Buchanan …’ “Conversely, like in the ’60s, you had people like Penelope Tree and Twiggy, and people looked around and said . . . ‘It’s OK, it’s safe. I’m going to join a commune and take drugs’.” Of all the unsung forces that swept Bill Clinton into the presidency, this is among the most deservedly unsung....
