When the U.S. last hosted the World Cup in 1994, the event drew unexpectedly large crowds . At that time, soccer wasn’t as popular among Americans as it is now, so expectations for attendance had been fairly low.

Roughly 20 million Americans live in manufactured houses , which are homes made in factories.

For a long time, the likelihood of surviving pancreatic cancer has been extremely low. For patients who were diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer between 2015 and 2021, about 97% died within five years of their diagnosis. Pancreatic cancer is so deadly in part because there are no effective screening tests, and it rarely causes noticeable symptoms in its earliest stages.

A rapid series of administrative, staffing and policy changes the Social Security Administration underwent early on in the second Trump administration are making it much harder to get disability benefits that millions of Americans rely on to make ends meet. The agency cut more than 7,100 jobs – more than 13% of its workforce and its largest staffing cut ever .

A peacock feather in sunlight shifts from blue to green to bronze as you turn it. Photograph it, and this shimmer collapses into one angle, one exposure, one compromise. A digital image is not a record of what your eye sees. The standard color space that most digital images use was built for an older display world, when cathode-ray tube monitors swept beams of electrons across phosphor-coated glass .

A father is worried about his toddler, who has been running a fever for two days and pulling at one ear. A 65-year-old woman has been getting winded on her morning walks and feeling more fatigued than usual.

New observatories and spacecraft missions are probing environments in our solar system that could potentially host life but have long remained hidden. Icy moons like Saturn’s Enceladus and Jupiter’s Europa likely contain oceans beneath frozen outer shells. But a layer of ice prohibits space probes from sampling them directly.

President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to strengthen the labor market. His immigration platform – including a pledge to conduct the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history – was central to that promise. “For too long, Washington ignored how mass illegal immigration artificially suppressed wages, hurting working-class Americans – especially young men,” wrote Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on X in July 2...

Gasoline is above $4 per gallon amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the release of key price data on May 28, 2026 , underscores why policymakers are worried these pressures could spread into the broader economy. The report offered a mixed but still uncomfortable picture.

There is a scene in “ The Devil Wears Prada 2 ” where legendary fashion editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, is walking alone through Milan’s fashion district.

Surveys and polls help societies understand what people think about issues in politics, health, education and much more.

One survey provider prices a 10 minute survey of 1,000 people in the tens of thousands of dollars .

“ You have zero privacy … Get over it ,” Scott McNealy, then CEO of Sun Microsystems, declared in 1999. What might have sounded like a bold claim at the turn of the millennium has turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy in today’s era of big data and artificial intelligence .

On May 22, 2026, the Pentagon released a second batch of previously classified photos and videos showing what appear to be unexplained flying objects.

On Feb. 10, 2026, an 18-year-old woman, Jesse Van Rootselaar, killed eight people and herself in a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.

Imagine you’re at the supermarket checkout. Your cart is full. The line behind you is long. You tap your card. Declined. You try again. Declined. You haven’t overspent. You haven’t done anything suspicious. But somewhere inside your bank’s computer systems, a machine made a decision about you in less time than it takes to blink – and it made a mistake. What just happened?

It’s a cool Tuesday night in Columbia, South Carolina, and fans of the minor league baseball team the Columbia Fireflies are letting an opposing batter named Marcos Torres hear it. “Marco!” one fan calls. “Polo!” a half dozen fans respond, mimicking the swimming pool game. The batter swings and misses. The cacophony begins again.

Ahead of the 1994 World Cup – the first staged in the United States – players were asked to do something they never had before: sign a fair play declaration . The document, in which the soccer stars of the day pledged to respect the rules and opponents, was part of a plan by governing body FIFA to restore soccer’s reputation as “the beautiful game.” And expectations ran high before kickoff.

Punishing regimens of facial exercises. Intentional starvation. Reshaping the jawline or cheekbones by smashing them with a hammer or chisel .

When CBS Radio News goes silent on May 22, 2026 , Americans will lose access to news programming they’ve tuned into from their living rooms, kitchens and cars for nearly a century. The once-bipartisan idea that the nation’s media should exist to serve democracy continues to fade with it, too.

Stephen Colbert’s final episode as host of “The Late Show” on May 21, 2026, won’t mark the end of his career. But as a scholar of political satire , I think it offers a chance to reflect on the lasting impact of his comedy, which has spanned his work as a correspondent on “The Daily Show,” his conservative pundit persona on “The Colbert Report” and his reinvention on “The Late Show.” The best satirists do more than e...

The Paris Opera has staged iconic works like “Don Carlos” and “Les Troyens,” along with celebrated ballets such as “Les Indes Galantes” and “The Rite of Spring.” But you’d be forgiven for not having heard of Antonia Bembo , whose 1707 opera “ Ercole Amante ” – “Hercules in Love” – will be staged at Paris’ Opéra Bastille for the first time on May 28, 2026.

Ever since U.S. commandos successfully removed Nicolás Maduro from power in Venezuela on Jan. 3, 2026, speculation has been growing that “ Cuba could be next ” on the list of the Trump administration’s targets. “We’ll take over Cuba almost immediately,” President Donald Trump mused during a speech in Florida on May 1.

Some of the hottest casting calls in Hollywood right now aren’t for Netflix, Disney or HBO. They’re for TikTok.

If you’ve ever turned to artificial intelligence to try to figure out how to handle a tricky situation with a friend or colleague, you’re far from alone.
