...times. In her career, she has been to the Women’s World Cup twice and played for the U.S. Olympic Soccer team in 2000 and 2004.In 1999, U.S. women’s soccer reached the mainstream, as the squad won the World Cup—on American soil. But Markgraf was a staple on the team even before this, coming off her All-American career at Notre Dame, but her stellar play solidified her spot as a team leader. Her return was significant for the national squad. Her work upon returning to the Crimson has been just...

In an overwhelming 109-19 vote, the lower chamber of the French National Assembly unwisely passed a bill to criminalize the denial of the 1915 genocide of Armenians on Turkish soil.

Although Picasso never set foot on American soil, in the intense conclaves of this would-be American avant-garde, his example hung in the air like the moon, out of reach but never out of sight. And the question he always seemed to pose for them was not what to make of what he was doing, although that could...
...uranium at some point in the future; even if they do so temporarily, they don't intend to give up that right permanently. The U.S. insists that the only acceptable outcome of the diplomatic process is that Iran agree to refrain from doing any uranium enrichment on its own soil, ever, but the Europeans have recognized that such a goal may no longer be realistic. Although they won't say so publicly, many European diplomats say they may accept the idea of some limited enrichment for research purposes of the sort currently under way in Iran, under closer scrutiny...
