...recent Pentagon-funded reports have questioned the Navy's carrier-centric strategy. The vessel's huge cost and half-century life span give potential foes like China a "static target" to threaten, a 2007 report said. A smarter option, the study suggests, is to build a Navy of many smaller and simpler ships, which would complicate enemy targeting and give U.S. commanders better intelligence. Nonetheless, the Navy has just begun spending $11 billion to design and build the first in a new class of carriers, the U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford, scheduled to join the fleet...

Harvard junior goalie Christina Kessler made 27 saves in Saturday’s 4-0 win over Brown, notching her second clean sheet in three games—a span in which the Crimson has also scored 14 goals. “Goaltending has been huge too,” Harvard tri-captain Sarah Vaillancourt said. “Kessler has been doing a tremendous job for us, and I think that’s key.” Kessler?...
...Pretenders is the fourth of José's five Rosales novels, which together span a hundred years of Philippine history from the end of Spanish colonial rule to the declaration of martial law by a besieged Ferdinand Marcos in 1972. José's saga, an outraged testament to the inequalities that wrack Manila and the country at large, is rivaled in his nation's literature only by José Rizal's Noli Me Tangere (1887) and El Filibusterismo (1891), both acknowledged influences on José's writing.
