A Philippine ferry disaster near Mindoro after the Dona Paz collision leaves 1,556 known on board with 1,529 missing and presumed drowned, including a four year old. Seven vessels resumed search for bodies as survivors recount the ordeal and government pledges aid and investigation.
An Ogonyok magazine piece by demographer Marz Tolis argues Stalin’s policy of rapid industrialization and forced collectivization contributed to famine deaths in the early 1930s. The article, reflecting openness under Gorbachev, cites poor harvests in Ukraine and the northern Caucasus, grain requisition pressures, and plummeting milk output as cattle died, while noting official history long framed the period as industrial policy challenges.
The Pentagon and State Department said the United States has broadened naval rules of engagement in the Persian Gulf to allow forces to aid NATO warships under attack. The measure, explained in testimony, clarifies that on scene commanders may respond if a NATO vessel seeks assistance, though it does not automatically mobilize to protect all NATO ships or American-flag vessels under foreign flags. Lawmakers voiced surprise at the lack of prior consultation, while noting limits on extending protection to commercial ships under flags of convenience.
