AVE MARIA: MYTH AND HISTORY
[[link removed]]


In the final days of Socrates’s life, as he waited for his execution
in an Athenian prison, his closest friend, Crito, visited him, waking
him from a glorious dream. In that dream, a woman in white had

[[link removed]]


President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio want to
create a new coalition to staff an International Stabilization Force
for Gaza. The idea is simple: To replace or unwind Hamas‘s rule in
