    Is there finally hope in America's overdose crisis?

    In a twist that many addiction experts thought impossible, the decades long upward trend of opioid deaths in the United States has finally started to decline. And while there are plenty of theories, there are still very few answers as to why and how.

    In states where votes are close, organizers are aiming to 'lose by less.' Why?

    In a state where every vote matters, campaigns are not only trying to win in counties where they're strongest. They're also trying to lose by less in places where votes for their candidate are harder to find. We take a look at volunteers in Wisconsin who are working to make less more.

    How much can the upcoming vice presidential debate impact the election?

    In a race where so much of the polling is within the margin of error — it seems as though any one thing could affect the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. But have vice presidential debates made a difference in past races? NPR's senior White House Correspondent Tamara Keith dug into that existential, and political question.

    Author Robert Caro on the history of power

    Historian Robert Caro's book "The Power Broker" details how urban planner Robert Moses reshaped New York through the roads and bridges he built, and the lives of the communities he destroyed. It's a definitive account of how power is acquired, how it works and how it's wielded in this country. That book, along with his four books on President Lyndon Johnson, have made Caro one of the most significant American authors of the last half century.
