From popular German talk show to the Washington Post: Notre Dame economics professor’s policy brief garners international attention in German debate over Russian gas

Maggie Eastland | Tuesday, April 12, 2022

The controversy began with Twitter, then the German chancellor called out the economic research on a popular talk show, and soon enough, the Washington Post was on the trail, phoning Notre Dame economics professor Rüdiger Bachmann. Bachmann was watching “Anne Will,” a German talk show viewed by millions, when German Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticized a

A response to defending the truth

Trevor Lwere | Thursday, April 7, 2022

This is a rejoinder to Eoghan Fay’s Letter to the Editor from March 31 which was a response to my column from March 28 which unfortunately was littered with thinly veiled vitriol and diversionary aspersions. I will attempt in this rejoinder to respond to his arguments. Fay’s analysis of the origin of the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Defending the truth, not Russia

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, March 31, 2022

With more than a trifle of trepidation, I recently read Trevor Lwere’s column on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As a history major, I heard the echoes of cowardly collaborationist quibbling from the dark days of 1940. Regrettably, Mr. Lwere’s article sought to throw the blame for the catastrophic war in Ukraine into the lap

Coolican: The sports world has failed Brittany Griner

Liam Coolican | Wednesday, March 30, 2022

Brittany Griner’s detention in Russia should be the biggest story in the sports world right now. If you haven’t heard about it — which wouldn’t be all that surprising, considering how sparsely it has been covered — the WNBA star was arrested last month after Russian customs officials found vape cartridges containing CBD oil in

Letter to the Editor | Monday, March 21, 2022

Russia’s brutal, unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has united the free world with the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian state. 20,000 foreign volunteers have joined Ukraine’s Legion of Territorial Defense and funding has poured in for humanitarian assistance and the Ukrainian military.

Putin isn’t the “defender of Christian values” evangelicals think he is

Blake Ziegler | Thursday, March 3, 2022

Like most people, I’ve spent the last week reading and watching updates on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. There’s been innumerable analyses and columns in the media about the ramifications of the conflict, the potential for escalation to global war, the heroism displayed by the Ukrainians and much more. One phenomenon in particular
