They billed themselves as the greatest husband and wife shooting team in the world, and their feats of marksmanship were so great that Annie Oakley herself declared them the best she’d ever seen. This week we look at the story of Ad and Plinky, the Famous Topperweins.

From the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, it's Dr. Red Duke.

The enduring image of Texas is that of the cowboy riding along the range, of the wealthy cattleman in his ranch, of the majestic longhorn. The cattle industry has been linked to Texas throughout its history, from the earliest Spanish settlers to the modern day cowboys. This week we look at Ranching in Texas.

There are many symbols of Texas. The Lone Star. The Alamo. The oil derrick. All are evocative of this great state.

He was tall, fast, and incredibly strong. He was the pride of North Texas and the bane of Oilers and Cowboys fans. He was a football legend.

They prowled the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, looking for targets headed for Europe: oil tankers, merchant ships, and passenger ships. As odd as it sounds, we’re talking about Nazi U-boats patrolling the waters off of Galveston Island.

It’s time to put the kiddies to bed and prepare yourself for more spooky tales of Texas.
