Memorial Day means more than sunny picnics and big sales. Behind those store signs and holiday plans lie families who lost loved ones in wars. Like the Sullivans from Iowa—five brothers who died together when their ship sank in 1942. Or the Nilands, whose home was shattered when three sons died in t
This holiday weekend started with big travel plans for nearly 45 million Americans. Most wanted to reach beaches, cities, or family gatherings. But weather had other ideas.

Researchers have built a computer model that shows how light, heat and chemical reactions work together when treating cancer with a dye called indocyanine green (ICG). The model uses a fast Monte‑Carlo method on graphics cards to trace how 808‑nanometer laser light moves through a three‑dimension
Pete Davidson and John Mulaney once had the awkward job of cushioning the egos of A-list celebrities who bombed on their first shot at hosting Saturday Night Live. During a Netflix comedy panel, Mulaney shared stories from his early days as an SNL writer—back when he was just 25 and fresh out of sta
On June 20, the Polo Historical Museum at 113 N. Franklin Ave. opens its doors for a special afternoon dedicated to Roy Rogers, the singing cowboy who shaped Western entertainment for decades.

This summer, Little Rock isn't just offering the usual mix of shows and events - it's flipping expectations with some fresh takes on familiar stories. A touring musical is putting a modern spin on Shakespeare's classic tale, asking what might have happened if Juliet didn't take her own life. Instead
