| 1. Signs of friction threatened to undercut a deal between Ted Cruz and John Kasich to coordinate against Donald Trump. Mr. Trump is expected to dominate in Tuesday’s primaries in five northeastern states, but his delegate count could fall short if he loses in Indiana next week, allowing the rivals to fight it out at the convention. Polls show Bernie Sanders gaining on Hillary Clinton in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Indiana, though she appears ahead in Pennsylvania and Maryland. | 1.

| 2. President Obama, wrapping up a six-day trip to Europe, said he would send 250 more U.S. military personnel to Syria to help local forces fight the Islamic State. Addressing Europe’s economic and migration problems, he appeared to refer to Mr. Trump’s divisive politics. Mr. Obama said challenging conditions opened the door to “those who would try to exploit those fears and frustrations and channel them in a destructive way.” | 2.

| 4. Beyoncé’s surprise album, “Lemonade,” and an accompanying video focus on the harm men have done to black women, insinuating that her husband, Jay Z, had an affair. (Above, the couple last year.) Her admirers — the Beyhive — took the other woman identified in song as “Becky with the good hair” to be the designer Rachel Roy. But, oops, some accidentally exacted their social media revenge on the Food Network star Rachael Ray. | |

| 5. Tough news for the Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry is likely to be out for at least two weeks because of a sprained right knee. The king of 3-pointers will miss, at minimum, the start of the second round of the N.B.A. playoffs. He took a positive tone on Twitter: “Thanks 4 all the prayers & messages. Can feel all the positive energy. God is Great! All things considered I’m Gonna be alright!” | 5. Tough news for the Golden State Warriors.

| 6. Football made headlines off the field. A U.S. appeals court reinstated Tom Brady’s four-game suspension in the Deflategate case, agreeing that the N.F.L. commissioner, Roger Goodell, had broad discretion to suspend players. And Johnny Manziel, the self-destructing 23-year-old quarterback, pictured above in December, was indicted on a misdemeanor assault charge. Commentary on his fall, our reporter says, exposes “the underbelly of fandom.” | 6. Football made headlines off the field.
