Full disclosure: White is Trump’s spiritual adviser. Or to put it formally, she is chair of the evangelical advisory board in Trump's administration.

Atom-smashing used to be one of the purest of pure sciences, but it is rapidly grossening toward practicality. Substances made artificially radioactive in atom-smashing machines are used for cancer research and other biological studies, so that atomic experimenters now turn out —though with their left hand — products of commercial value. Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., which is interested in the practical business of making money but also has a reputation for farsightedness, has built a giant atom-smasher, the only one possessed by any industrial laboratory in the U.
Five years since her release, Maggie Luna has kept the mail she received from family during her two stints in Texas state prisons: drawings from her daughter, a letter from her niece, prayer cards from her mother. “It was something that I was able to open up while I was in prison and just be able to escape for a minute,” she says.

The World Series is where routine plays turn into anxiety-inducing, legend-making, career-defining feats. It’s where underdogs become heroes, where champions turn into dynasties, and where curses are born––or busted.
With this year’s historic matchup pitting the Chicago Cubs (last win: 1908) and the Cleveland Indians (1948), TIME asked sports photographers who covered the World Series throughout the years to select the images that moved them most.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” wrote Thomas Jefferson in the summer of 1776. But slavery still existed. And therein lies the inherent contradiction of the Declaration, Jefferson, and the latest revival of 1776 by directors Jeffrey L. Page and Diane Paulus and the Roundabout Theater Company.
Yesterday, the world’s largest-ever hydrogen-powered plane took off from an airport in the U.K., made a 10-mile circle in the air, and landed again about 10 minutes later. The plane, a Dornier 228 19-seat turboprop extensively modified by startup ZeroAvia, wasn’t exactly a jumbo jet, but it still accounts for a significant step in the nascent world of zero emission flight. The previous record for largest hydrogen aircraft, also held by ZeroAvia, was for a 6-seat aircraft.

An infographic telling prospective University of Washington cheerleaders how to do their hair and makeup has sparked a blacklash on campus and on social media.
Women trying out for the cheerleading squad should have a “bronze, beach glow” with “flattering eye shadow” and should avoid “tops that cover the midriff,” according to a flyer featuring a smiling blonde woman that has circulated widely online.
Israel has become the world’s premier nondestination for the smugly self-righteous. Since 2006, there has been a movement to boycott Israeli academic institutions organized by a coalition of Palestinian groups, to which people like Bono and Stevie Wonder have lent support. The latest to join this list is renowned scientist Stephen Hawking, who recently announced that he had refused an invitation to attend the Israeli Presidential Conference in late June “based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott.
