Season preview: Navy football kicks off new era in Annapolis

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:05:53 GMT

College football is one intriguing animal. The sport that trumpets tradition is now known for players racing to enter the transfer portal, coaches breaking contracts for better jobs and schools leapfrogging leagues. Blink and you might miss something.Over the next week, we’ll try to make sense of the local FBS teams, from Maryland making a summer statement to pivotal second seasons at both Virginia and Virginia Tech. James Madison, meanwhile, will try to build off a successful first season in the Sun Belt Conference. But the 2023 season kicks off Saturday with “Week Zero,” with a local school making a 3,354-mile trip overseas to face a team called “The Fighting Irish” in Ireland’s capital. Makes perfect sense.Navy was a model of consistency under Coach Ken Niumatalolo, until a few years ago. The team reached 10 bowls in his first 12 full seasons at the helm, before posting an 11-23 mark from 2020-22.  That stretch included a 10-13 AAC record and a 1-5 showing against fellow military...

60 years after the March on Washington, MLK’s speech rings true for students

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:05:53 GMT

Nearly 60 years after the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, a Howard University professor said his students still find the address relevant — once they read the entire speech.Marcus Board Jr., associate professor of political science at Howard University, points out that the first part of King’s speech was a sharp critique of the nation’s treatment of Black Americans.In the first segment of his address, King said Black Americans fighting for civil rights could never be satisfied “as long as the Negro is a victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality” and called for accountability, saying “America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.'”Board said students are not familiar with that part of King’s address. Instead they’ve been taught the part of the speech that talked of King’s dream of a society where racial harmony has been achieved...

World’s richest man lobbied Macron to ditch prime minister

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:05:53 GMT

Cet article est disponible en français.PARIS ― Bernard Arnault, one of the world’s most powerful CEOs, personally lobbied Emmanuel Macron to replace Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne with a more liberal figure.In a previously unreported meeting with the French president at the Elysée Palace in early July, Arnault argued for one of the government’s more liberal ministers to replace Borne, who is considered center-left. His first choice was Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, who campaigned heavily for the job at the time, two senior figures with knowledge of the conversation told POLITICO.Rumors were running wild earlier this summer that Borne, who has had a hard time rallying right-leaning MPs behind the government’s agenda, would go in a much-anticipated reshuffle ― she ended up staying with changes made at junior ministerial level. While Darmanin did not succeed in becoming prime minister this time, it’s no secret that he’s still eyeing the posi...
