In an article covering the pregnancy announcement, USA Today wrote, "It's unclear how Chelsea's pregnancy will affect Hillary Clinton, who is considering a race for president in 2016." "President or grandmother?" Charlie Rose asked Bill Clinton on CBS This Morning. ...

None of the bras fit her, and she felt the selections were too sexual. So she started a line of bras so that girls would have more options. As for ...

Now that a Sen­ate com­mit­tee has rec­om­mended nine changes to Bill C-23, Fair Elec­tions Act, the leg­is­la­tion seems pretty solid. And, since Pierre Poilievre has, ap­par­ently, in­di­cated pri­vately that he's open to changes, an amended ver­sion of the bill will likely be­come law by this sum­mer. We would prob­a­bly have got­ten to this point ear­lier had not the min­is­ter re­spon­si­ble for the bill ...

The Rocket Boys In the late 1930s, a group of Caltech graduate students were booted off campus after blowing up (part of!) their building during a rocket test gone awry. Unwilling to give up on the joy of semi-controlled explosions, the students and a few of their friends headed into the San Gabriel Mountains. They picked a deserted gully -- Arroyo Seco -- ...
