  • The News Roundup For July 20, 2018
    Would you like to revisit this week's news... or wouldn't you?

    President Trump held a meeting with Vladimir Putin — and maybe sided with him on whether Russia meddled in U.S. elections? Now Putin might be coming to Washington.

    And MGM is suing victims of the Las Vegas shooting and the trade war is heating up — again.

  • Three Dimensions, Endless Possibilities
    3-D printers can create many things: furniture ... human limbs ... firearms ... The first 3-D printed gun was fired five years ago. Now designs for these firearms are readily available online after a quiet court settlement May. How does 3-D printing even work? And what happens if anyone can print a gun right from their living room?

  • Lance Armstrong Returns To Cycling — As A Superfan
    Lance Armstrong still loves cycling, even though fewer fans still love him back. He was at the peak of his career when he confessed to doping in 2013 — something many friends and fans saw as a betrayal.

    But he's spent the last few years making amends and making a new name for himself as a podcaster. We ask: where does he go from here?

  • Contoured, Highlighted And Bronzed: The Business Of Makeup
    Okay haters, the makeup industry isn't frivolous.

    It's worthy of our time. For one thing, Forbes values the makeup industry at $445 billion. It's also becoming more inclusive. Rihanna's Fenty beauty brand was praised upon its launch last year for including 40 foundation shades. Is there ever going to be a shade for everyone?

  • The Mind Behind America's Most Empathetic Cartoon
    "Steven Universe" is a ratings juggernaut on Cartoon Network. It's also the network's first show created solely by a woman. The Emmy-nominated series closed its fifth season with a wedding between two female-identifying characters. We talk to showrunner Rebecca Sugar about love, hate and the courage to be "strong in the real way."

    There may even be a song (or two).

  • The News Roundup For July 13, 2018
    President Trump has had a big week of travel. He left the NATO summit for the U.K, and a meeting with PM Theresa May and Queen Elizabeth II. In an interview with The Sun, Trump criticized May's Brexit strategy and questioned the possibility of a U.S.-U.K. trade deal before seemingly walking back those comments Friday morning.

  • America, Allies And A Changing World Order
    President Trump's approach to foreign policy has been described as "repeal without replace" — scrapping an American-led world order in favor of an international free-for-all, preferring one-on-one deals to multinational agreements.

    What does all of this mean for Europe, China, Russia — and for America's place as a leader on the world stage?

  • A Debate Over Impeaching The President
    Since President Trump took office, there's been a wave of people calling for his impeachment.

    Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz has been a staunch defender against the Russia investigation and impeaching Trump. American University professor Allan Lichtman, who in 2017 wrote a detailing the case for impeachment, says his argument has only gotten stronger.

  • Where's That Sample From? Contemporary Music And Cultural Appropriation
    Musicians and music from South Asia have influenced contemporary music for generations — think of The Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" or Kanye West's "I Am A God." But do the people from a specific culture own that music? Where is the line between appreciation and appropriation in art?
