Many things have changed in the 54 years since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in Loving v. Virginia, that laws banning interracial marriage are unconstitutional. Today, at least 19% of new marriages in America involve spouses from different ethnic or racial groups. But that doesn't mean that the difficulties they face have disappeared. In our cover story, Rita Braver talks with couples whose relationships and children still draw uncomfortable conversations about racism within families across every social and economic level, and about how their love ultimately conquers all. The actor and singer who was featured in the original cast of Lin-Manuel Miranda's smash hit, "Hamilton," now stars in the film version of Miranda's first Tony Award-winning musical, "In the Heights." Anthony Ramos talks with Kelefa Sanneh about life in Brooklyn before "Hamilton," Latino representation in musical theater, and the joys and distractions of filming in New York's Washington Heights. At 73, the bestselling author of horror and suspense has adapted his 2006 novel "Lisey's Story" into an Apple TV miniseries. Stephen King talks Jane Pauley about maintaining his prodigious output; what his early success with "Carrie" meant for his mother; and how a box left behind by his late father changed the course of his life. Bored with Zoom calls at work? You can book a goat from the Cronkshaw Fold Farm in England to crash your online business meeting, Imitiaz Tyab talks with the farmer whose affection for silliness has made mini-celebrities of her caprine charges. For years, Richard Montanez sold his own American success story: while working as a janitor at a Frito-Lay factory in California, he cold-called the company CEO to pitch the snack food hit Flamin' Hot Cheetos. There's just one problem: Flamin' Hot Cheetos were already on store shelves. Montanez talks with Lee Cowan about how this snack food creation story has become as messy as the chips' orange coating.
