Middletown Teen is Making Her Way in Music

From the first time Elvis Presley appeared on television his “risqué” dance moves and “suggestive” lyrics, older adults responded in abject horror.

The problem, according to Hegseth, is that professional military education — the coursework and experiences that prepare service members for their next jobs or promotions — has succumbed to “academic drift,” without enough emphasis on warfighting. The answer, he says, is reducing civilian faculty.

Warren Floats Selling Town Buildings to Buy Old Guard Site

Warren could buy the former National Guard building on Market Street by matching a $610,000 auction bid. Officials said the town's 30-day window is expected to open after a state board meets Nov. 24.
