When a U.S. Navy photoanalyst disappeared from the United States in 1986, it would be two years before he surfaced again — but when he did, he was across the globe in Russia using a new name.
A 1989 PEOPLE story described how American officials had already suspected Glenn Michael Souther of being a traitor. Still, it would be an 1989 obituary in Moscow that shed light on exactly how much Souther had allegedly done for Russia before his death at age 32.

The speed and scale of Jared Kushner’s re-emergence can’t be overstated. In the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency, his son-in-law is casually consolidating economic and political power with staggering speed. Kushner has positioned himself at the center of the biggest media merger in years and at the fulcrum of White House foreign policy, all while taking in multi-billion-dollar investments from autocratic governments.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs plans to eliminate as many as 35,000 health-care positions this month, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing an internal memo, Veterans Affairs staffers and congressional aides.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
The cuts involve mostly unfilled jobs, including doctors, nurses, and support staff, the report said.
The agency hopes that the cuts will reduce the health care workforce to as few as 372,000 employees, a 10% reduction from last year, the report added, citing a memo shared with regional leaders last month.

More than 50 members of Congress are demanding answers from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and homeland security officials after the Guardian revealed the VA is compiling a report on all non-US citizens “employed by or affiliated with” the government agency that will then be shared with other federal agencies, including immigration authorities.

How much is this costing taxpayers?
Nearly seven years later, Mr. Maduro is still in power. Mr. Rubio, now Mr. Trump’s secretary of state and interim national security adviser, is a primary architect of an escalating military pressure campaign against Venezuela. And while pushing out Mr. Maduro appears to be one immediate goal of U.S. policy, doing so could help fulfill another decades-long dream of Mr. Rubio’s: dealing a critical blow to Cuba.

At the center of that mission was U.S. Special Forces Veteran Bryan Stern, the bearded, broad-shouldered founder of Grey Bull Rescue Foundation. Stern and his team of U.S. military veterans have pulled off hundreds of extractions around the world. But this one, he says, was different.

Phoebe Ervin tried everything to drown out the sound. As golf fans descended on her Long Island, New York, community in late September to watch the U.S. and Europe compete for the Ryder Cup, she tried desperately to ignore the whir of helicopter blades.
This time, they were ferrying VIPs to the course, not flying above the desert of Iraq.
