CBS newsman Morley Safer, recently retired, dead at age 84 Posted: 19 May 2016 10:15 AM PDT By Bill Trott (Reuters) - - Television journalist Morley Safer, who made his reputation as a Vietnam War correspondent for CBS and then became a mainstay on the network's "60 Minutes" show for 46 years, has died at age 84, a few days after his retirement, the network announced on Thursday. Safer, who spent 61 years in television news, brought an authoritative, urbane style to "60 Minutes," CBS's ground-breaking news program, and his work was a mix of hard and soft news. CBS said Safer changed war reporting forever with his work in Vietnam before becoming an "iconic" correspondent who was one of U.S. television's most enduring stars.

The argument Clinton shouldn’t make Posted: 19 May 2016 04:30 AM PDT Hillary Clinton embraces her husband, Bill, on the night of the Pennsylvania primary. In case you were wondering what Bill Clinton's pet cause might be in his wife's administration — the way recent first spouses have spoken out against addiction, or read books to kids, or gone on TV to promote healthy eating — Hillary spelled it out while campaigning last weekend. In response to the uproar over this comment, Clinton's campaign fired off an email to reporters detailing all the instances over the last several months when the candidate has made pretty much this same statement.

'Sleeping giant' glacier may lift seas two metres: study Posted: 18 May 2016 05:50 PM PDT A rapidly melting glacier atop East Antarctica is on track to lift oceans at least two metres, and could soon pass a "tipping point" of no return, researchers said Wednesday. To date, scientists have mostly worried about the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets as dangerous drivers of sea level rise. "I predict that before the end of the century the great global cities of our planet near the sea will have two- or three-metre (6.5 - 10 feet) high sea defences all around them," said Martin Siegert, co-director of the Grantham Institute and Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London, and the study's senior author.

Will the Democratic convention get even uglier than the Republican convention? One of the oddest things about this year's supremely odd presidential election is that while pundits have been eagerly anticipating a contentious Republican convention in Cleveland, it suddenly appears that the Democratic gathering in Philadelphia could end up being the nastier of the two events.
