I recently decided to get around to reading some of the classics I’ve just never gotten around to. Finished The Count of Monte Cristo yesterday and now getting started on Moby-Dick. I’m woefully under read for the great Russians. I read War and Peace 30-some years ago but other than that and some Chekhov short stories, I’ve got many to get to. And one of these days, I want to tackle Ulysses but it’s daunting and I might have to ease into Joyce with Dubliners. If memory serves, I’ve yet to read anything by Jane Austen.

U.S. Commander Dismisses Reports of Civilian Deaths
The senior U.S. officer overseeing combat operations in Iran told the Senate on Thursday that the military had identified only one potential incident in which Iranian civilians were mistakenly killed out of about 13,600 U.S. airstrikes, a statement that human rights groups and some lawmakers said was not remotely credible.

Trump-Ordered Citizenship Lists for Voting Are Not Reliable
Citizenship lists that the Trump administration has ordered be compiled and shared with state election officials this year are likely to be incomplete and unreliable for determining voter eligibility, the Justice Department told a federal judge on Thursday.
The admission, in Federal District Court in Washington, came in a lawsuit challenging an executive order President Trump signed in March that would create state registries of citizens using federal data, and require the U.S. Postal Service to regulate mail-in voting.
