Unveiling Oppression: The Taliban’s War on Women’s Rights in Afghanistan
By Laurence Butt
Imagine for a moment, if you will, there is a politician, a soldier, and a civilian in a bar. I know this sounds like the start of a joke but stay with me for a moment.

Despite this inundation in the musical, it remains one of my all-time favorites.
So, it was ...

Brads Breakdown: Midseason at-risk reports
By Alan Brads
At Cedarville, the midpoint of the semester means fall break, and fall break means academic at risk reports.
Here on Brads’ breakdown, the midpoint of the college football season means the same. So just like my geology professor tells my advisor I’m dangerously close to failing, I’ll issue some strern warnings. Then, as always, I’ll serve up three storylines and three games for week eight.

By Alan Brads
Ohio Octobers are a whirlwind of change. Soybeans turn from green to yellow to brown in a week. Pumpkins sprout on front porches, leaves turn red, and iced coffees become pumpkin spice lattes.
With midterms right around the corner, and the school calendar brings my mind back, yet again, to football.
You can’t pass a class in October, but you can easily fail one in October. Likewise, you can’t win the national championship before the College Football Playoff ...
