Arena Stage in Washington is bringing back the classic musical Damn Yankees. “One of America’s most beloved musicals is coming back,” the promotional copy reads, “dusted off and spit-shined for a new generation. All the elements that made it famous are there: a diehard love of baseball, one man’s fateful (and hilarious) pact with the […]
Ukraine’s fate is in the hands of the world’s three superpowers: China, Russia, and the United States. To glimpse Ukraine’s future, we should look at how past superpower conflicts ended.

Virginia lawmakers have thrown down the gauntlet and challenged President Donald Trump’s war on the use of race at universities.

President Donald Trump is continuing to threaten to send the National Guard into Chicago to get the city’s crime problem under control. In response, Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker posted […]
