The walls of the hole that Alice (Mia Wasikowska) falls into are stocked with all manner of the White Rabbit's mementos; this could be WALL•E's cluttered annex.

The 567-ft., 10,000-ton vessel is the Navy's largest surface combatant, and Graf was the first - and is so far the only - woman to command this class of ship, with its 400-member crew. Driving a boxy cruiser requires ship-handling skills more deft than those needed to skipper a sleek destroyer or a frigate. But commanding...
