On a crisp autumn night in November, Henry Hascup, President of the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame, rose to the dais for the organization’s annual induction and awards banquet. With his booming Jersey-accented voice, often heard in the ring as an announcer, he delivered the opening remarks.
With Veterans Day approaching, he asked the veterans in attendance to stand and be recognized. As the former service members rose, few could miss the imposing 6-foot-5 figure among them.

The emergence of growing quantities of footage showing a new class of main battle tank developed for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Ground Force has provided significant indications of a radical shit in design priorities, which appear to be heavily influenced by the lessons from the intensive armoured engagements that have occurred in the Russian-Ukrainain War. One of the most significant changes is abandonment of the standard 125mm smoothbore gun to rely on a much smaller 105mm gun, which suggests a shift away from a focus on tank-on-tank engagements.

On Aug. 1, 2025, the Office of the Historian published National Security Policy, 1985–1988 Part 1, which focused on President Ronald Reagan’s pursuit of the Strategic Defense Initiative and Strategic Modernization Program.What can we learn from this newly released volume of the Foreign Relations of the United States series?

I am no stranger to sauerkraut. Growing up, it appeared on the table a few times a year, but most notably on New Year’s Day, accompanied by pork. My grandparents are from Pennsylvania, so for us it was part of the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition, one of many customs brought over by German immigrants.
Now, living in Germany, navigating sauerkraut is almost second nature. 
If you asked me whether I love German food, I would probably shrug my shoulders in indifference. Would it be my first choice for a date night restaurant? Probably not.
