GEORGE BUSH, to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention last week In origin and inspiration, just-war-reasoning is essentially religious, usually Christian. Its main concepts were formulated in the fourth century by Saint Augustine, who sought to reconcile the Christian commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself” with the soldier’s duty to kill.

Kerber is having nothing short of a fantastic month. Only two weeks ago, the German beat Madison Keys in the final of the Family Circle Cup at Charleston. However, it was heartbreak for former World Number one Caroline Wozniacki, who failed to press her advantage after having won the first set, 6-3, with relative ease.

Andor’s dark atmosphere is ripe with dramatic intrigue and scoundrel antics, making it a compelling template that should inspire future Star Wars games....
