Hegseth's staff damages Kansas-raised Eisenhower's globe

WASHINGTON – Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth’s staff damaged a standing globe believed to have been used by Kansas-raised U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower while attempting to move the artifact into Hegseth’s office. A Pentagon official acknowledged the incident in a statement on Oct. 22, saying that “an accident occurred while staff were transporting a replica of the Eisenhower globe as part of its relocation.” “Accidents happen, we are grateful no one was harmed, and the globe is being repaired,” the official added. Hegseth was born on anniversary of D Day invasion Hegseth was born on June 6, 1980 , the 36th anniversary of the historic 1944 D Day invasion commanded by Eisenhower, who had an affinity for globes. A large globe is part of the "Waging Peace" exhibit at the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum & Boyhood Home, located on a 22-acre campus at 200 SE Fourth St. in Abilene. That tourist attraction educates visitors about the life and times of Eisenhower, who grew up in Abilene, served as a five-star general in the U.S. Army and commanded the Allied Expeditionary Force during World War II. Eisenhower later served as the 34th president of the United States from 1953 to 1961.

Poetry Review: Wyatt Townley’s Making the Turn

Wyatt Townley (courtesy of Wyatt Townley) The esteemed poet’s latest collection of verse taps her Kansas roots and features images by Kansas City artist Hong Chun Zhang. As a child I believed, among other blasphemies, that the state of Kansas was merely the 400-mile purgatory standing between my family’s minivan departing the Missouri side of the state line and the promised land of Colorado. As my father was a Protestant and had no theological use for purgatory, crossing Kansas was to be suffered as swiftly as possible.
