We talk about how this crime and the aftermath have exposed flaws in American health care. After many delays, a preliminary vote has paved the way for a new 76ers arena in Center City. And Pennsylvania’s Teacher of the Year, who’s from Haverford High School, is the first Black male teacher to receive the honor.
