In 1940, the world was at war, but the United States wasn’t A strong isolationist sentiment kept the US on the sidelines while Germany and Japan ran roughshod over their neighbors.
While the US wasn’t in the war, many people in the US military knew that it was only a matter of time before we got sucked in.
Over a year before the attack on Pearl Harbor, a plan was developed for just that eventuality.

What happens to the stuff we send to space when it breaks or collides with something else? A lot of it turns into what’s often referred to as ‘space junk.’ There are thousands of pieces of junk orbiting Earth all the time.
Just this week, one of those pieces - an old rocket - crashed into the moon. There was no major impact on Earth from that rocket part but other space junk could be more of a threat.
Today I’m joined by renowned space environmentalist and astrodynamicist Dr. Moriba Jah from the University of Texas. He’s credited with developing the world’s first crowd-sourced tool to better track objects in space. He’s also the co-founder and chief scientist for Privateer Space, a company working to monitor satellites and debris in Earth’s orbit like never before.
We spoke with Dr. Jah just before the rocket hit the moon. He told us space junk is a much bigger problem than that one rocket and has the power to disrupt not only our future in space, but life here on Earth.
For nearly a month a convoy of truckers in Canada captivated the nation by raucous but largely peaceful protesting with parked trucks in downtown Ottawa. To the surprise of the government, public opinion was mixed over the convoy's appearance. The truckers opposed the severe regime of Covid restrictions and mandates that the Canadian federal government had imposed on the population. The long-distance truckers stridently rejected the vaccination requirement, among other burdens placed on their daily work. After weeks spent parked in Ottawa, adjacent to the Canadian Parliament, the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, imposed the Emergencies Act to bring the Freedom Convoy to an end. In this manner, Trudeau used a law meant for true situations of national security and applied it expansively and without factual justification to a civil protest. Banks froze the accounts of anyone suspected of supporting the protests. The truckers were dispersed in short order. In acting outside the bounds of law, the Canadian government may have created a new moment in Canadian politics. In opposing one of the strictest Covid regimes in western democracies, the Freedom Convoy seems to have sparked an end to much of Canada's worst Covid policies.
But what is the real legacy of the Freedom Convoy? Joanna Baron, a lawyer in Canada and Executive Director of the the Canadian Constitution Foundation, is on the legal front lines in Canada and joins us to discuss this question. She observes that "we're going to see an injection of populism into Canadian politics going forward."
A remarkable debut from an exhilarating young new voice, Such a Fun Age is a big-hearted page-turner of a story about race and privilege, centring on a young black babysitter, her well-meaning employer, and a chance encounter that threatens to undo them both.
