This week, the U.S. Senate took a historic step to meet that responsibility by voting to approve Sweden and Finland’s applications to join the NATO Alliance. The vote was overwhelming, and bipartisan—in total, the applications were approved by a vote of 95 to 1. The result shows that Putin’s egregious and brutal power-grab has unified the U.S. Senate—just as it has unified the broader global community. Since the war in Ukraine began, thousands of innocent Ukrainians have been killed, millions have been forced from their homes, and billions around the globe have been forced to shoulder increased costs on fuel and food....

The cricketer-turned-commentator did not consider the final clash between England and Pakistan while making his choices. He also did not rank the knocks in any particular order.

Although wide receiver Cooper Kupp was a worthy choice on the strength of 8 catches on 10 targets for 92 yards and two TDs, including the game-winning points, Donald was robbed of history. He should have joined Miller as the 11th defensive player to win MVP of the Super Bowl. With one co-MVP situation, that’s happened only 16 percent of the time in 56 games....

Gritty, grunged and boasting as many girls as guys, poetry has made a comeback-in a bohemian rhapsody of rap swagger and fiercely urban poems that has done more to revive interest in verse than anything since the Beat Generation was filling coffeehouses from the East Village to the Mission district. In the last year, poetry clubs with such arch-sounding names as the Fez, the Elbo Room and the Nuyorican have become a hot alternative to dance clubs in cities from New York to Nashville, from Boston to L....
