       Obama Nominates Physicist, Ex-Deputy Carter for Defense Secretary

   by Aru Pande

   President Barack Obama has nominated Ashton Carter as the next U.S.
   defense secretary, replacing Chuck Hagel, who resigned last week. If
   confirmed, Carter, a former deputy Pentagon secretary, will take over a
   sprawling department that is dealing with a host of national security
   issues. VOA's Aru Pande has more from the White House.
