A Decade of Reveal

The first pilot episode of Reveal exposed how the Department of Veterans Affairs was overprescribing opioids to veterans and contributing to an overdose crisis. Journalist Aaron Glantz explained how he received—surprisingly quickly—a decade’s worth of opioid prescription data from the federal government.  “Sometimes, you have to sue to get the records,” he said. “I have […]

The Bible Says So…or Does It?

/

Dan McClellan has spent much of his life learning—and relearning—what the Bible and its authors were trying to tell us.
