US reassures Europe on Nato and Russia, again
US vice-president Mike Pence crowned a week of American diplomacy in Europe on Saturday (18 February) by promising to stick by Nato and to take a tough line on Russia.
The need for global cooperation in stopping Iran
Although during his campaign president Trump said he would tear up the Iran Nuclear Agreement, that seems unlikely now in part because the new administration wants to work with our allies on a new policy toward Iran. We hope European leaders will respond in kind to this different approach by the Trump Administration.

Do Individuals Have a Right to Do Wrong?
Even if you don’t have a duty to help any specific person at any specific time, you have a duty to be open to helping people, to make benevolence a part of your character. But because doing good and helpful things for people isn’t a duty of justice, you can’t force people to be good and helpful. You can force people not to steal or murder, because not stealing and not murdering are duties of justice. We can enforce duties of justice.

Michael Novak and America’s Moral Ecology
Leave it to Michael Novak to ennoble the bane of professionals’ existence. Americans “figure out what they need to do and organize themselves to do it,” he explained. “It’s essential for democracy.” Where others see nothing more than process, Novak’s genius was to discern the animating spirit of our American order. Novak died early Friday morning at the age of 83. He leaves an enormous body of work and a legacy of influence emphasizing the cultural prerequisites for political and economic freedom.

Julie Andrews Almost Died Filming The ‘Mary Poppins’ Umbrella Scene
Julie Andrews appeared on “The Late Show” Friday night, where she told Stephen Colbert about what it was like to actually film that memorable umbrella scene from the 1964 movie, “Mary Poppins.” “I plummeted to the stage,” Andrews said. “And there was an awful silence for a minute and I did let fly with a few Anglo-Saxon four letter words, I have to admit.”

Less than 24 hours after they were inventoried in Seattle, the remains of the Ancient One — also known as Kennewick Man — were laid to rest at a private ceremony at an undisclosed location Saturday, according Colville tribal chairman Michael Marchand. The repatriation of the bones, which were found near the Columbia River in Kennewick in 1996, came after the five claimant tribes — the Colville, Yakama, Nez Perce, Umatilla and Wanapum — received the remains Friday.

Adeline Fredin doesn’t get out much. The 82-year-old Nespelem resident has fought a few tough battles with pneumonia in recent years. In fact, she thinks her fragility will probably keep her out of one of the biggest moments in archaeological history for Native Americans.
