...first World War. During the second, Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of the most widely-traveled U.S. presidents in history, journeyed all over the world to confer with leaders about the conflict. In 1945, near the end of WWII, he attended the Yalta Conference in the Soviet Union with the other Allied leaders, and the end result was the partition of Germany and the creation of the United Nations. Dwight D. Eisenhower, fulfilling a campaign promise, traveled to Korea as President-Elect in December 1952 - the Korean War ended seven months later.

The young men are also entering employment and working age - and families in the middle of Russia...
...That effort has stirred Le Pen, who sat in France's parliament for seven years, from a relative silent spell. During a session of the European Union's legislature on March 25, Le Pen repeated his notorious contention that "the gas chambers were a detail of Second World War history". The first time Le Pen made that claim, in 1987, he was convicted in both France and Germany for violating laws banning racist and anti-Semitic hate-speech. In repeating the scandalous notion in Strasbourg Wednesday, Le Pen sought to justify his initial voicing of it by describing...
