Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:29:26 GMT

ÉVREUX, France — Germany and France pledged on Thursday to move their joint next-generation battle tank forward by the end of the year. French Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu and his German counterpart Boris Pistorius met at the Évreux-Fauville Air Base — where a joint Franco-German tactical airlift squadron has been located since 2021 — to give new political impetus to the Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) after years of delays. “The pace was slowed down and now we’re speeding up,” Pistorius told reporters after the meeting. By the end of this year, Paris and Berlin will define the different pillars and the leading country for each of them, he said: “Next year, I hope we’ll get to the decisive stage of signing the contract, which may allow others to join the project.” Both ministers declined to provide details on the pillars. The MGCS was launched in 2017 by French President Emmanuel Macron and then-German Chancellor Angela Merkel as ...

Milford’s multi-skilled Nick Araujo does it all

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:29:26 GMT

MILFORD — When Nick Araujo was in youth football for Milford as a seventh grader, the now-senior kicked his first field goal in an organized game. It came against Mansfield, and Milford reached the 25-yard line, from which the coach had the confidence to kick with Araujo.“Believe it or not, it just sailed through,” said Araujo, who added, “and had a good amount of leg, too.”Since coming to the high school, Araujo has been the team’s kicker since his freshman year. But that is only the beginning of his contributions to the Scarlet Hawks. He has started at linebacker since his sophomore year. Last year, he was the second running back to Romeo Holland. And now Araujo starts at running back, strongside linebacker, kicker, and punter.But more than just the sum of his positions, Araujo represents an example of the ascent of Milford football. In many ways, he is the quintessential Scarlet Hawks football player: big, tough, hard-nosed, and smart.“You give...

Before Gillette show, enjoy a Stevie Nicks binge

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:29:26 GMT

In 2006, Paste magazine put Fleetwood Mac at No. 83 on its list of 100 Best Living Songwriters. Not Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie or Lindsey Buckingham at No. 83, but the all three bundled into a single slot at the tail end of a long list dominated by dudes.Now any list like this is purely subjective, but, c’mon? Really? Lumped together the members of Mac can’t make the Top Ten? Stevie can’t even crack the Top 50 on her own?For decades, these lists — often led by Rolling Stone — have tried to turn the subjective opinions of male writers into an objective truth about the superiority of male artists. As Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner made clear this week, too many men can’t listen to female artists without thinking, “Oh, this is fine, but it sure ain’t Dylan or Jagger or Springsteen or ZZ Top or…” (Earlier this week, Wenner told a New York Times reporter that women and people of color weren’t “articulate enough on (an) intellectual level” to discuss rock ‘n’ roll).Wenner and his pe...

Hank Phillippi Ryan part of Cold War history in ‘Neither Confirm Nor Deny’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:29:26 GMT

Of the many stories of the CIA’s Cold War efforts against Russia, “Neither Confirm Nor Deny” stands out for its larger-than-life-sized James Bond  flavor.In 1968 a nuclear-powered Russian sub sank with its 98-man crew in the Pacific.  In ‘69 the CIA hatched a seemingly impossible idea: They would build a ship with a hollow interior, equip it with a “grabber” that could go to the ocean bottom and carry the sub back into the ship and uncover many Russian secrets.The ship was finished in 1973 with a cover story that it was owned by the notoriously eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes. He was deep-sea oil drilling.Unfortunately, by 1975 with the ocean retrieval in progress, major upheavals shook the secretive agency: In the fallout from Watergate, CIA secrets were no longer secret.CIA black ops crimes were being exposed by legendary newsmen Jack Anderson and Seymour Hersch.  When the newsmen got hints on the CIA and the Russian sub, the Agency pleaded they not reveal anything.“Neither Co...
