...offer was spurned. Instead, the Saudis invited in U.S. troops for the first time ever. Like many other Muslims, bin Laden was offended by the Army's presence, with its Christian and Jewish soldiers, its rock music, its women who drove and wore pants. Saudi Arabia has a singular place among Islamic countries as the cradle of Islam and as home to Mecca and Medina, which are barred to non-Muslims...
Over the next 55 years, White would make and give away a small fortune--$50 million--in a singular bid to end as much hurting as his money would allow.

The pressure isn?t evident in the show, but the furious energy is. From the first minutes, which turned...
...interact with others, sometimes miss the point. Half a dozen families told TIME that the only aspect of school their kids say they miss is riding the bus. So some of them have arranged for their children to have their own private rides on a school bus. But the singular experience of going to school with other kids on the bus--which is at once terrifying and liberating--can't be mimicked in private...
