Remembering 9/11: Where tragedy left its marks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a fine line between "never forgetting" 9/11, and "always reminding." Too much is distasteful, too little is disrespectful. 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)
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."

Rescuing a candlepin bowling alley helps bolster a Maine community (opens the original)

Home, not alone: Helping aging seniors in rural America (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In North Dakota, small farming towns like Hebron and Glen Ullin, where there are many retirees, have withstood all manner of challenges. 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)
Read excerpt
In downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, stands a memorial that's easy to pass – six bronze paddles stretching toward the sky. 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. There aren't many tours that tell the tale, but Cedric Harrison says he's determined to make it known. "The first thing we have to do to solve this problem is education," he said. "One of my elders always told me, if you knew better, you do better
