Heat waves, wildfires, floods - what's with all the extreme weather?

Reading the news over the past month - or maybe just stepping outside - you could get the sense that something has gone wrong with the weather.

Simone and us: what to learn from Simone Biles

Six Olympic medals and 25 more from world gymnastics championships is more than enough proof that Simone Biles is a young woman who knows how to withstand pressure and perform with the world watching.

Preparing for Tokyo's 'Quiet Olympics'

I didn't see much TV coverage of the U.S. Olympic track and field trials last month in Oregon. But one scene caught my eye. It was good “old” Allyson Felix, finishing second in the women's 400-meter run, earning her fifth trip to the Olympics.

Stakes in Cuba for US and Florida

The widespread protests in Cuba mark a new challenge to the communist regime and a major test to the Biden administration.
