[Kip Currier: I'd like to read even a small part of this article, but unfortunately an absolute paywall prevents even one sentence in this article from being accessed and read.

I understand the idea that subscriptions are key to the business strategies and financial health of newspapers and magazines, as well as subscriptions being integral to the remuneration of the staff members of these media organizations.

However, it also strikes me that if you're a newspaper or a magazine and you're trying to attract new readers, you might want to provide access to at least one sentence.]

Most books pulled from Naval Academy library are back on the shelves in latest DEI turn; AP, May 21, 2025

LOLITA C. BALDOR , AP; Most books pulled from Naval Academy library are back on the shelves in latest DEI turn

"All but a few of the nearly 400 books that the U.S. Naval Academy removed from its library because they dealt with anti-racism and gender issues are back on the shelves after the newest Pentagon-ordered review — the latest turn in a dizzying effort to rid the military of materials related to diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Based on the new review, about 20 books from the academy’s library are being pulled aside to be checked, but that number includes some that weren’t identified or removed in last month’s initial purge of 381 books, defense officials told The Associated Press.

A few dozen books at the Air Force libraries — including at the Air Force Academy — also have been pulled out for review, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process is still ongoing."
