If you grew up in the last few gen­er­a­tions, chances are you did­n’t get much of an edu­ca­tion, if any, in Latin or ancient Greek. One long-made argu­ment for phas­ing them out of cur­ric­u­la in Eng­lish-speak­ing coun­tries holds that room must be made for Span­ish, Man­darin, and oth­er lan­guages actu­al­ly used at scale in the mod­ern world. Nowa­days, when even those class­es face the pres­sure of extinc­tion, advo­ca­cy for clas­si­cal lan­guages exudes an ever stronger con­trar­i­an appeal. “Dead” though they may be, they also live on through not just the Romance lan­guages, but also the mighty hege­mon known as Eng­lish. Indeed, it…

Last fall, the Notre Dame philosopher, Meghan Sullivan, participated in a closed-door meeting at the Vatican. She was there to discuss AI ethics with a group of religious thinkers, academics, and leading members of the technology industry. As Sullivan recalls in ​a recent newsletter​, she attended an optional Catholic Mass the first morning, held in an ancient church. She was surprised to see one of the tech leaders sitting a few rows away in the pews. “[This was] the kind of guy you typically see in a black t-shirt and chinos,” she writes. “That morning he was dressed in a…

We’re just going to say it: Dua Lipa’s meet-cute with now-husband Callum Turner had us levitating (whoo).  Well, perhaps not their meet-cute—very little happening after the three-time Grammy winner and Eternity actor were introduced by chef Ruth Rogers at her Italian eatery The River Cafe in their shared hometown of London. But the 6-foot-2 Brit made enough of an impression that when the “Levitating” artist was dining with pal Mustafa the Poet ahead of a mutual friend’s birthday party in Los Angeles a year later “and all of a sudden Callum shows up,” she recounted to British Vogue last summer, Lipa…

On a recent summery Saturday evening in Chicago, moviegoers had the opportunity to take in any number of current releases, from “Michael” to “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” from “Obsession” to “The Sheep Detectives.” There were even some limited engagement showings of the two “Top Gun” movies. Still, the largest crowd for any single screening—by far—was for a film that turns 50 this November. “Rocky.” Some 1,540 fans flocked to the Auditorium Theatre in the Loop for a “live-to-picture” screening, with the Chicago Philharmonic performing Bill Conti’s iconic, Oscar-nominated score. I saw “Rocky” twice at the River Oaks Theatre in…

Barcelona’s 1-0 home win over Celta Vigo on April 22 was overshadowed by inspirational winger Lamine Yamal suffering an injury, with the 18-year-old saying the timing of his misfortune “hurts more than I can explain”. The Spain international was substituted during the first half and clearly in pain, leading to concerns that one of Barca and La Roja’s key creative presences could be out for a sustained period. “This injury leaves me off the field at the time I most wanted to be [on it],” Lamal responded a day later in a social media post. “It hurts not being able…

Winnipeg Jets Reality Check Time Murat Ates of The Athletic: The Winnipeg Jets hit a brick wall last season. Losing Nikolaj Ehlers illustrated one thing. Teams find ways to win and more good players lends to more success. Improving the roster in a rational way is likely Winnipeg’s best hope for a better 2026-2027. One of the biggest keys will be the draft held later this month in Buffalo. Winnipeg holds the eighth pick in the draft. Do they use that as an asset to make a deal? This depends on Winnipeg’s plan. Now, the Jets could keep the pick,…
