The writer once imagined a typewriter that could make what it typed happen. A line he wrote in 1987 about rainbows and roses in Dallas somehow came true, though not exactly as pictured. The story centers on a baby girl born in 1987 after her mother’s emergency surgery because of severe high blood
When someone breaks their back in a bad fall or car crash, doctors have two main ways to help: either perform surgery to fix the bones or let the body heal itself with bracing and rest. A recent study looked at people with specific types of spine injuries called A3 and A4 thoracolumbar burst fractur
A recent gathering on the National Mall mixed government resources with religious promotion, raising questions about separation of church and state.

A lineup of musicians planned to perform at a summer concert series on the National Mall in Washington, D. C. , has seen several high-profile exits just days before the event was set to begin. The Freedom 250 series, which runs from June 25 to July 10, was advertised as a celebration of American cul
Wisconsin’s Rotary Clubs are stepping beyond usual meetings to build real connections with nearby tribal nations. More than just social events, these efforts aim to break old tensions tied to historic land rights and fishing disputes. Stories shared at a recent convention showed just how deep the di
N95 masks work because their filters trap tiny particles while letting air flow through smoothly. The filter’s job isn’t simple—it has to catch the right size particles without making breathing too hard. Scientists studied how four key factors affect this balance: how thick the filter is, how tightl
The Democrats’ big report on why they lost the 2024 election quietly skipped the one topic that split their voters more than any other.
