How Lloyd Austin’s Deputy Ended Up Running the Pentagon From the Beach - WSJ
While Austin was in the hospital—and White House and senior officials at the Pentagon were unaware who was in charge—the U.S. carried out a deadly drone strike against an Iranian-backed militia leader in Baghdad, and issued an ultimatum to Yemen’s Houthi rebel group to cease its attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea or face the consequences.
This is truly amazing.

The Misguided War on the SAT - The New York Times
“Standardized test scores are a much better predictor of academic success than high school grades,” Christina Paxson, the president of Brown University, recently wrote. Stuart Schmill — the dean of admissions at M.I.T., one of the few schools to have reinstated its test requirement — told me, “Just getting straight A’s is not enough information for us to know whether the students are going to succeed or not.”
An academic study released last summer by the group Opportunity Insights, covering the so-called Ivy Plus colleges (the eight in the Ivy League, along with Duke, M.I.T., Stanford and the University of Chicago), showed little relationship between high school grade point average and success in college. The researchers found a strong relationship between test scores and later success.
Likewise, a faculty committee at the University of California system — led by Dr. Henry Sánchez, a pathologist, and Eddie Comeaux, a professor of education — concluded in 2020 that test scores were better than high school grades at predicting student success in the system’s nine colleges, where more than 230,000 undergraduates are enrolled. The relative advantage of test scores has grown over time, the committee found.
