    Remembering 9/11: Where tragedy left its marks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

You might think after all this time, there's no bell left un-rung, no prayer unsaid, no song that hasn't been sung. After 25 years, the most fitting way we can think of to keep the day close is talking to those who were there. "You could see flames shooting out of, you know, all sides of the North Tower," said Harry Handler, who was on the 67th floor of the other tow

    The one and only Dolly Parton: A tribute (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Perhaps only Dolly Parton could dress like a flag – and still be taken seriously by a ship full of sailors. Only Dolly. Tributes poured in from everywhere this past week for the singer-songwriter, hailed as the queen of country music, who died Tuesday at the age of 80. Jane Fonda called her "the voluptuous embodiment of empathy." Taylor Swift said she was "true grace and true grit, all in one dazzling person."

Despite the difficulties, 98-year-old Mae Buchli, whom we met back in 2025, is determined to live out her days out here. "We decided we're not going to move, 'cause we want to stay home," she told us. "You know how that is." Across the country, rural America is growing older faster than urban America. According to the USDA, the number of counties where at least

    How white supremacists staged the only successful coup in U.S. history (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

The plaque is hard to read in places, not because the words have washed away, but because what they say is so hard to believe.
