...purported remains were declared authentic by the Church before being sent to Chinon in 1876. The town played an important role in the saint's life as it was at the royal court of Charles VII in Chinon where she convinced the king to send an army to defend the city of Orl?ans from the invading English. Leading these troops into battle, St. Joan later emerged victorious from the siege. The tests on the relics took around a year to complete and were led by Philippe Charlier, a forensic scientist at the Raymond Poincar? Hospital in Garches, near Paris...

This makes them an easier political target, since overwhelming majorities of Americans favor access to contraception: a Wall Street Journal poll last summer found that 81% of Catholics and 75% of born-again Christians favored providing access to birth control as a way to reduce the need for abortion...
With a national championship, All-Americans, an Ivy League title, and Junior World competitors, the Harvard Fencing team would seem to have no problems breezing into NCAA Championships to defend its title. But after last year’s fairy tale performance, Harvard has to deal with the pressure of entering the tournament as defending champions this weekend in Madison, N.J., without a full 12-person team...
