...Today EastEnders is menaced by something far more dangerous than a rival show and way deadlier than any serial killer dreamed up in a script meeting: the digital revolution that's wreaking global havoc in industries as diverse as broadcasting, newspapers, magazines, film and music.

These are not small questions. The answers will help determine our standing in the world, the functioning of our democracy and what the Supreme Court has described as "evolving standards of decency." In short, the Supreme Court still matters, and all Americans should be concerned with...
...Blue Card - colored to match the European Union's flag - is part of a plan to make it easier for skilled foreign workers get jobs in the 27 member states of the E.U.
