End of an era as Weinberger resigns defense post
Caspar Weinberger resigns after a career defined by heavy defense spending and controversial weapons programs. The piece critiques his expensive build-up, misses in warfare outcomes, and Congress's complicity, while noting his replacement Frank Carlucci as a harder but more conciliatory negotiator. The tone remains editoral and critical of the era ending.

Porsche Lake: Florida sinkhole becomes urban water body
In Winter Park the 1961 sinkhole that swallowed a Porsche dealership and part of a pool has filled with murky water and become a lake. Geologist Bill Wilson calls it a miniature example of Florida lake formation while officials question if its growth is finished. Five Porsches remain sunken, and a pond now hosts bass and other species amid urban shorebirds. Names proposed include Sinkanole Lake and Porsche Lake.
