After years of debate about higher education's value, a study of nearly 1 million undergraduates shows that college pays off financially for most students.
But the report found that the benefits depend on varying factors, including the degree and major: wapo.st/4nwMAe4

I appreciate your commitment to focusing on the crippling effect of the closure of CVS stores, including @pennbranchdc. Unfortunately, these lease agreements completely block competing stores or anything similar. You should also talk to the landowners, like Burka Brothers.
Pharmacy closures, like the ones on Bladensburg Road and in Penn Branch, are leaving DC families, including our seniors and those in most need, without care. And it is not OK! When elected, I will work strategically to bring back Walgreens, CVS, and others to close the care gap.

Gayle King stood up from her chair on LIVE TV this morning to give this man, the focus of our story, an ovation.
He deserved every bit her applause.
Robert Carter is a phenomenal, self-made man with a hell of a human story.

The playwright was concerned with the rituals and beauty of ordinary black Americans as they forged a culture in difficult circumstances. His plays forgo outrage for sadness econ.st/3WB4MG1

Weekend reading: Bootstrapped: Liberating Ourselves from the American Dream by @lisaquart @econhardship. She explores the origins and rips to shreds the subversive bootstrap “self made” deception. My ancestors didn’t have boots. #literacy #nationalreadingmonth #adultliteracy
