Lew Wallace had written his biblical epic 40 years earlier while serving as New Mexico’s territorial governor, representatives of six of the…

New satellite images from NASA show just how much the reservoir’s footprint has shrunk over the past two decades — and the difference between July 2000 and July 2022 is stark. Water levels at Lake Mead are at a historic low — the reservoir hasn’t been this empty since 1937 when it was being filled for the first time. It’s currently at just 27 percent capacity. The last time it was close to full capacity was 1999,…

This historic pop artefact has gathered dust for 52 years after her label boss withheld the…

Now that season four has arrived, it seems clear the show knows it can’t be completely baffling and must parcel out some answers…
