"Cases in low-risk populations (is) exactly how we are going to get herd immunity, population immunity, when low risk people with no significant problem handling the virus, which is basically 99% of people, get this and they become immune and they block the pathways of connectivity to more contagious, older, sicker people," he said.

A recent political ad features a voter looking back fondly on a time before bipartisan cooperation vanished from Washington, D.C. The sentiment is hardly unusual, although it was strange to learn that the voter had 2014 in mind. To each their own golden age.

The Battalion Artist explores the three years, three months, and three days of Nat Bellantoni’s life on the Pacific front in World War II. He had known since childhood that he wanted to be—that he in fact was—an artist.
