Not soon enough
Early voting has begun across the battleground state of North Carolina, and the overwhelming sentiment from those leaving the Nash County Agricultural Center Auditorium yesterday after casting their ballots on the first day possible was a mixture of civic pride and emotional relief. Regardless of who they voted for, they seemed glad to be done with it.
Awkward dinner chat
With 18 days until Election Day, even a charity gala couldn’t stop the sniping between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. They traded barbs at a dinner in New York that traditionally features the Republican and Democratic nominees. See how the light-hearted atmosphere took a turn during their speeches.
NFL violence
The NFL is reopening its investigation into a domestic violence complaint against New York Giants’ placekicker Josh Brown. Newly-released documents show he admitted to abusing his former wife, and other red flags are raising questions about how the league deals with the issue of domestic abuse.
Prescription-gouging
Despite public furor over the soaring cost of prescription drugs and accusations of price-gouging against pharmaceutical firms, the federal government has failed to find a solution. Some states aren’t waiting. We look at how a California ballot measure could become a model for other states eager to curb drug costs.
Chiropractic death
A grieving family has a warning for others after the sudden death of model and single mother Katie May. The 34-year-old suffered a stroke in February, but this week, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office confirmed her death was caused by an injury at a chiropractor’s office.
Baseball memorabilia
As auctions go, it was a grand slam. A baseball bat that once belonged to the late “Shoeless Joe” Jackson, the disgraced former slugger involved in the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal, sold this week at auction for $583,000. We explore what’s driving up the price of baseball memorabilia.
