Congress is poised to allow the sale of coastal defense and anti-ship weapons as part of future security assistance packages to Ukraine, through the 2020 defense policy bill. The National Defense Authorization Act passed the House this week and is expected to be passed in the Senate next week; President Donald Trump announced he will sign the sweeping policy bill. The change comes as U.S. military aid is at the center of impeachment proceedings playing out against Trump in Washington. The impeachment has dragged Ukraine into the spotlight at a time the European nation continues to struggle with ongoing military activities from Russia.

This week our heroes are George Hitchings and Gertrude Elion, two American scientists who pioneered the development of rational drug design. For most of history, the traditional method of drug discovery relied on a trial-and-error approach to determine the effectiveness of different treatments. Contrary to perceived wisdom, Hitchings and Elion’s new method of rational drug design focused on studying the differences between human cells and disease-causing pathogenic cells. From these findings, the method develops specifically-designed drugs to only target harmful pathogens.

Reading the nativity account in Luke 2 carefully highlights the way that the tradition of the stable is nowhere present.
