Question: Three-Minute Fiction: The Round 10 Winner Is ...

Did you leave a message after our prompt? For Round 10 of Three-Minute Fiction, we asked you to submit a short story in the form of a voice mail message. For this contest, the original fiction must be read in about three minutes, no more than 600 words. After four weeks and more than 4,000 stories, we have a winner. Graduate students at 14 different writing programs across the country helped read the Round 10 submissions. They passed the best of the best along to our judge this round, novelist Mona Simpson. "There was a great variety, and it was surprising voice mail messages ... some were hilarious," Simpson tells Guy Raz, contest curator and host of NPR's TED Radio Hour. Aside from the winning story, a couple of other entries stood out for Simpson. In Eric Bronner's "Everything's Under Control," a zookeeper has released an elephant for unknown reasons and uses his one phone call from jail to explain how to correct the situation. The voice mail left in Jacqui Higgins-Dailey's story, "After the Tone," is from a girlfriend to her boyfriend about their incompatibility, and she uses a dog pulling away from its owner as a metaphor. But in the end, there is only one winner: Lisa Rubenson of Charlotte, N.C. She wrote "Sorry for Your Loss." "It's funny at moments, and yet it's very strikingly yearning," Simpson says. The story is a series of attempts at leaving a voice mail, which gives a rare perspective, Simpson says. "I love the way she considers these various things she wants to say but erases them and what she finally comes to," she says. "Even though it's a vocal story, we get the privilege of hearing her thinking as well to herself." Rubenson says she was excited by the prompt, and her idea came from the challenge of finding the right thing to say. "There's always things that need to be said but aren't, or things that get said that shouldn't," she says. "And I struggle with that a lot, and I think it's kind of a universal thing." Rubenson's story will be published in the next issue of The Paris Review. She will also receive a signed copy of Simpson's latest book, My Hollywood. Hi, it's me — Christine. I can't believe you still have this number. That I still remember it. But there's your voice on the machine ... like no time has passed. I'm so sorry for your loss, Nick, for your mom. Can anyone else hear this? [PRESS # TO ERASE AND RERECORD YOUR MESSAGE] # Hi Nick, it's Christine. Christine Williams. Remember? It's been a long time. I called because — I know it's tough right now.

I've been thinking about you. About her. For some reason, about the time she picked up the phone and said, "you two are too young to be this serious." Remember how we laughed when she spit out the words, "two and too"? I tried so hard to get her to like me. It's weird, I have a daughter now. She's the same age as we were. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? [PRESS # TO ERASE AND RE-RECORD YOUR MESSAGE] # Christine, it's Nick, love of your life. Nice ... [PRESS # TO ERASE AND RERECORD YOUR MESSAGE] # Hi Nick, it's Christine. It's been so long. I'm in town. Listen, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I'll never forget the house on del Cielo.

I think about skiing and finding that circle of pine trees. About pretending the clouds were our kids and giving them all Greek god names. About sitting at dinner with our faces bright red. Your mom thought we were up to something, but we were just burned from the sun and the wind and the future shining down hard all around us. [PRESS # TO ERASE AND RE-RECORD YOUR MESSAGE] # It's me.

Question: It's ScuttleButton Time!

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

There are two ways for me to approach ScuttleButton.  The first is to put together a puzzle that's clever but challenging to figure out.  The other is to be topical but ridiculously easy, simple and pedestrian. I chose the latter course this week. Of course, it would help if you knew how to play. Every     Wednesday on this site I put up a  vertical display of buttons.   Your    job is to simply take one word  (or   concept)  per  button, add     'em up, and,     hopefully, you will  arrive at a   famous   name or  a familiar expression. (And       seriously,  by familiar, I mean it's something      that      more than one       person  on Earth would recognize.) For     years, a   correct   answer chosen at   random would get his or  her    name  posted in this   column, an incredible honor in itself.   Now the   stakes are  even  higher.  Thanks  to the efforts of the folks  at Talk of the Nation, that person also  hears their name mentioned on the Wednesday show and receives a Political Junkie t-shirt in the bargain.  Is this a great country or what? You can't  use the   comments box at the bottom  of  the page    for your answer.  Send   submission (plus your   name and   city/state — you   won't   win without that) to  politicaljunkie@npr.org. And,         by adding your name to    the Political                  Junkie mailing list,   you  will be among the first on your  block to          receive notice       about the column and the puzzle.  Sign up  at politicaljunkie@npr.org.          Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new        Junkie   post goes up by clicking here. Good                           luck! By       the way, I      usually reveal the answer — and announce the  winner  —     on   Wednesday's Junkie segment on TOTN.  So you should  get your    answer   in by   Tuesday. Here's the answer to last week's puzzle: Cows (with a picture of a cow) — I'd say this button is about cows.  I can't think of anything udder than that. 1985 baseball card of New York Yankees' Omar Moreno — In fairness, Moreno, a center fielder, had his best years with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Keep Kuh District Attorney — When legendary Manhattan D.A. Frank Hogan stepped down because of ill health in 1974 after 32 years in office, New York Gov. Malcolm Wilson named Kuh, Hogan's deputy, to succeed him.  But Kuh was clobbered by Robert Morgenthau in the Democratic primary in September of that year, and the margin was even greater when Kuh ran in November as the Republican nominee.  (No detail is too small for ScuttleButton.) Daffy Duck button — For the record, I always liked Daffy Duck and Looney Tunes over Bugs Bunny and Merrie Melodies.  Just sayin'. So, when you combine Moo + Omar + Kuh + Daffy,    you    kinda get ... Muammar Ghadafi (or Gaddafi or Qaddafi). However you spell it, it's the name of the former Libyan dictator who met a violent end last month.  And the winner, chosen completely at random, is ... Bob Libutti of New York City. Bob gets a TOTN t-shirt.

Question: Arab League Chief Urges 'Confrontation' With Islamic State Militants

Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby is calling on the organization's members for a "comprehensive confrontation" of Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria in apparent support of U.S. plans to build a coalition to stop the militants. Elaraby said a "clear and firm decision for a comprehensive confrontation" was needed to confront the "cancerous and terrorist" groups in the region. The 22-member Arab League "could provide crucial support across the Middle East for [President] Obama's effort to assemble an international coalition against the Islamic State," The Associated Press writes. The Arab League includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Elaraby's comments come shortly after the U.S. stepped up airstrikes near the Haditha dam in Iraq's western Anbar province. They also come ahead of a vote on a new Iraqi Cabinet. Reuters reports:  "The leader of a pro-Iraqi government paramilitary force in western Iraq said the air strikes wiped out an Islamic State patrol trying to attack the dam — Iraq's second biggest hydroelectric facility that also provides millions with water. " 'They (the air strikes) were very accurate. There was no collateral damage ... If Islamic State had gained control of the dam, many areas of Iraq would have been seriously threatened, even (the capital) Baghdad,' Sheik Ahmed Abu Risha told Reuters."  President Obama told NBC's Meet the Press that he will address the nation Wednesday to outline a new approach to fighting the insurgency, but that it would not involve U.S. ground forces. Obama is expected to meet with congressional leaders Tuesday about the plan. "I just want the American people to understand the nature of the threat and how we're going to deal with it and to have confidence that we'll be able to deal with it," Obama told NBC. Update at 10:30 a.m. ET: Suicide Bomber Kills 16 The AP reports:  "A suicide bomber struck a meeting of Sunni tribal fighters and Iraqi security troops on Monday, killing 16. "In Monday's attack, the bomber drove an explosives-laden Humvee, apparently seized from the Iraqi military, into the gathering of a major Sunni tribe, the Jabour, and security forces in Duluiyah, some 80 kilometers (45 miles) north of Baghdad, a police officer said."

Question: Bernie Worrell, 'Wizard Of Woo,' Dies At 72

represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr

Keyboardist and composer Bernie Worrell, who helped shape the sound of the band Parliament-Funkadelic and influenced countless artists across a wide range of genres, died Friday at 72. Worrell announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. His musical life began early — according to his official biography, he started studying piano at age 3, wrote his first concerto at age 8 and performed with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C., at 10. The classically trained keyboardist (he studied at Juilliard and the New England Conservatory of Music) made his name — and an indelible mark on music — in the world of P-Funk. Worrell, aka "The Wizard of Woo," was an early member of Parliament-Funkadelic, George Clinton's sprawling, theatrical and wildly influential funk collective. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame notes that Parliament and Funkadelic "prefigured everything from rap and hip-hop to techno and alternative," with latter-day disciples including Prince and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Worrell was one of the key collaborators shaping the sounds of the collective. He was particularly famous for his innovative embrace of the sounds of synthesizers. In the 1980s, Worrell helped reshape the sound of the Talking Heads and became a regular member of their expanded lineup. Even if you don't know Worrell, you've probably heard his work. As a studio musician he contributed to scores of albums, and P-Funk songs are frequently sampled on hip-hop tracks. In 1991, when his second solo album came out, Worrell spoke to reporter Andy Lyman for Morning Edition. Worrell said his mastery of musical fundamentals was central to his genre-mashing work. "The art of creating is not just pushing a button," he said. "We're going to losethe art of creating — composing — because they won't even know how to make a chord. The chords are already just on a button. What is the root? What's the third? What's the fifth of the chord? "I feel that a lot of artists and parents who are interested in music should get music back into the mainstream in school systems," he said. "That's being lost also." You can hear that whole piece, which also explores the social awareness of Parliament/Funkadelic as well as Worrell's lasting influence on the Talking Heads, here: In January, Worrell announced that he had been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. An online fundraiser and star-studded benefit concert helped cover his medical expenses — and gave many in the music community a chance to honor his life while he was still there to hear it. George Clinton and Bootsy Collins of P-Funk, David Byrne and Jerry Harrison of the Talking Heads, Fred Schneider of the B-52s, Buckethead, Living Colour and Questlove, among others, performed at the "All The WOO In The World" benefit concert in April. And Worrell played too, of course. The crowd shouted "We love you, Bernie!" as he struggled for words, holding a proclamation from the mayor of Newark, N.J., in his honor. "I don't know what to --" Worrell said. "Thank you," he finally said. "I love you, too."

Originally a solo project of Jonathan "Yoni" Wolf, Why? expanded into an experimental trio that has the folky-twee-synth like melodies of indie rock with hip-hop rhythms and raps.  The group\'s latest release, Alopecia, is as playful and catchy as baroque bands like Architecture in Helsinki.  But Why? distinguishes themselves with mid-tempo rapping, mellow rhythms and beatbox. The guitar fuzz and synth that open "The Vowels Pt. 2," the first cut of the album, sound like an intro for typical college rock. But the raps and rhythms that soon kick in take the music in a completely new direction.  Yoni Wolf recorded as "Why?" for six years until meeting fellow bandmates Josiah Wolf and Doug McDiarmid, who eventually completed the multi-dimensional musical project.

Question: Excerpt: 'The Book of Old Houses'

Chapter One Driving up I-95 through New Hampshire and on into Maine, Dave DiMaio noticed as if from a distance how anger made the familiar route look alien to him. The Way Life Should Be, the sign welcoming visitors to the Pine Tree State proclaimed. But to Dave it was as if he were seeing it all by moonlight, everything bleached by rage. Once he was nearly overcome by the urge to lean forward onto the steering wheel and howl over the murder of his friend Horace Robotham, whose death Dave had learned of only the night before. But he was speeding along the turnpike, so he couldn't. He pulled off at a service area to use the restroom and wash his hands. Blinking tourists, kids with dogs straining on leashes, vans and campers with bikes, canoes, and kayaks lashed to their roofs crammed the asphalt parking area. Coming back out into the sunshine with the air faintly tinctured by exhaust fumes and the smell of breakfast sandwiches from a nearby fast-food place, he was tempted to linger, stretch his legs and work the kinks out of his neck. But Horace's death — murder, Dave reminded himself fiercely, his friend's brutal murder — wasn't all that troubled him. The thing he'd tucked into his glove compartment before leaving home seemed to broadcast its evil presence on a special wavelength that only police officers and car thieves could hear. Then he noticed the scrap of paper on his windshield, tucked under the wiper, and the fragments of red plastic littering the pavement at the rear of his car. During the few minutes he'd been inside, someone had bumped the car's tail light, shattering it. The note on the windshield held an apology and a promise to pay for the repair, along with a name and phone number. Dave tossed the paper into a trash receptacle and got back on the road. If a smashed light was the worst that came out of this trip, he would count himself lucky. At Bangor he threaded his way through numerous highway signs and across the Penobscot River bridge toward coastal Route 1A. On the bridge's far side he pulled into a convenience-store parking lot to buy a soft drink. All around him the midmorning bustle of ordinary people on ordinary midmorning errands continued, just as if Dave's oldest friend had not had his skull savagely crushed in with a rock one recent night while he was out for a walk. Thinking this, he changed his mind about the soft drink. A lady coming out of the convenience store peered at him before getting into the car next to his, and it took him a moment to understand that there were tears running down his cheeks, the dark well of mingled fury and grief brimming over again without warning. Wiping a hand hastily across the moisture on his face, he mustered a smile and a weak It's okay wave for the lady, whose own hands now touched her lips in an uncertain praying gesture as if she was trying to decide whether or not to get out of her car and come over to him. But at his wave she just nodded minutely instead, her kind, plain face seeming to say that she'd had a few unscripted teary moments of her own over the years. That it could happen to anyone. She backed out and drove away, and after another moment Dave did too, following the map's directions to a twisty rural road leading to Route 9. The sudden change from four-lane highway to something that was little more than a paved trail triggered a flashback to a trip Dave had taken years ago with Horace, to New Mexico, where they'd pulled in very late one night to a motel on Route 66. Once they were in the room Dave had gone to the rear window and pulled the curtain aside, expecting to look out onto another brightly lit commercial strip of gas stations and restaurants. But he had seen only moonlit desert, dark shapes of what he supposed were saguaro trees marching toward distant mountains. It had startled him then the way civilization could end so abruptly, and he felt just as vulnerable here in Maine. Once you left a city and the thin buffer of suburbia surrounding it, wilderness closed in on you again in earnest. He and Horace had risen before dawn the next morning, and as they departed the motel's parking lot Dave had happened to glance in the rearview mirror just in time to see the light over their room's door wink out. Only theirs, none of the others. To Dave it felt ominous, like a message from the darkness that had enclosed them all night. Horace had seen it too, and as they pulled onto Route 66 in the predawn gloom he'd glanced silently at Dave, wearing that funny little smile of his that Dave now remembered so painfully. Dave hit the gas just as he had all those years ago, roaring out onto Route 9 between a log truck and a highballing eighteen-wheeler, causing his underpowered old Saab 99 to labor briefly. Soon a lane for slower vehicles opened on the right and he pulled into it to give the faster ones a chance to pass. After that it was smooth sailing, the landscape rising and the road curving up into it with breathtaking swiftness. Dave

Question: Lou Reed's Demos, Papers And Record Collection Soon To Be Public

represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details

Thursday would have been Lou Reed's 75th birthday. This morning, his widow, performance artist Laurie Anderson, marked the occasion by announcing that the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts will house Reed's complete archives. The collection includes thousands of hours of video and audio recordings, Reed's personal record collection and more than 300 boxes of papers, photos and other items spanning his six-decade career. There's a 1971 recording of Reed reading poetry. There's a bill from the legendary New York bar Max's Kansas City — Reed's tab stood at $194.08. There's also a birthday card of more recent vintage inscribed, "Dear Honey Bun, Love and Hugs, Mo" — as in Moe Tucker, The Velvet Underground's drummer. But NYPL curator Jonathan Hiam says it's the business and legal records that have him excited: The contracts, licensing agreements, tour receipts, and other documents paint a detailed picture of how the music industry evolved. "These kinds of documents are usually in the hands of a private enterprise still, and there's usually no financial incentive to make them available to anybody," Hiam says. "So if you're doing research, this is really a boon." Later this year, library staff will begin the process of digitizing the thousands of hours of video and audio recordings. Music producer and archivist Don Fleming, who has been supervising the restoration, says the process has turned up a few gems. "One of the things they found was a tape from the early '60s, which seems to be Lou with one of his high school bands rehearsing for the variety show," Fleming says. "And just following that [clip] is Lou playing Bob Dylan songs." Those recordings aren't available yet for legal reasons. But once the issues have been worked out, the recordings — and everything else in the archive — will be available to anyone who visits the library. Laurie Anderson says that's why she chose to put the archive there instead of a museum or academic institution. "I really wanted it to not be deep in some vault where only people with white gloves can come. He was really democratic," Anderson explains. Anderson says she hopes access to the archive will paint a more nuanced picture of Lou Reed than the tough guy in leather jacket and shades everyone knows. "You realize everyone makes mistakes — everyone. Everyone loses their nerve — everyone. Everyone feels vulnerable and small. Take courage from that," she says. "And that's why I wanted this archive out: So everyone could see how hard it is to do that, and how determined he was." The New York Public Library will be hosting Reed-related events over the next several weeks. The complete archive — including those early demo recordings — should be available to the public later this year. ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:  Today would have been Lou Reed's 75th birthday. Of course he's the guy who co-founded The Velvet Underground and wrote classic rock standards like "Walk On The Wild Side." Reed was born in Brooklyn. And his widow, performance artist Laurie Anderson, marked today's anniversary by announcing that the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts will house Reed's complete archives. Rick Karr reports. RICK KARR, BYLINE: The Lou Reed archive includes thousands of hours of video and audio recordings as well as his record collection. (SOUNDBITE OF LOU REED SONG, "WALK ON THE WILD SIDE") KARR: He owned multiple versions of some of his most famous albums. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "WALK ON THE WILD SIDE") LOU REED: (Singing) Holly came from Miami, F-L-A, hitchhiked her way across the USA. KARR: There's also a recording of Reed in 1971 reading his poem "We Are The People" at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery. (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING) REED: (Reading) We are the people without right. We are the people who have known only lies and desperation. We are the people without a country, a voice or a mirror. KARR: The archive also includes more than 300 boxes of papers, photos and other items spanning Reed's six-decade career. New York Public Library curator Jonathan Hiam reaches into one and pulls out a manila envelope stuffed with documents from one of Reed's concert tours in the early 1970s. JONATHAN HIAM: Pay schedule - Doug Yule on the Lou Reed tour. Receipt from Bloomingdale's for - what is that, hair spray - something spray.

Question: The Big Tiny Desk Holiday Special

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

For nearly 10 years, NPR Music has recorded concerts from behind Bob Boilen's desk. During the holidays, the desk gets a little more festive, thanks to a snow machine, paper snowflakes and Stephen Thompson's hand-drawn Christmas tree. (It's labeled "tree.") Whether they perform original songs or new takes on holiday staples, these artists bring big sounds to the Tiny Desk. Each holiday Tiny Desk Concert has brought something a little different. In 2010, The Polyphonic Spree became the largest group of performers we'd ever hosted behind the desk. Sibling duo The Oh Hellos brought family tradition and a love of bells, and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings filled our office with joy and light. This year, Hanson stuck around after its non-holiday Tiny Desk Concert to don ugly sweaters and sing some original songs. Wyclef Jean got us tapping our feet to his version of "Feliz Navidad." And Steve Martin brought a bluegrass band with him to share the tale of "The Strangest Christmas Yet." In this holiday special, join NPR Music's Bob Boilen and Stephen Thompson as they look back on these and other performances from years past. Featuring:  Preservation Hall Jazz Band, 'Sugar Plum' and 'Happy Holiday' The Polyphonic Spree, 'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)' and 'Silver Bells' Matt Wilson, 'O Come All Ye Faithful' and 'Hark!

Question: Virtual Poor People's Campaign Puts Inequality At The Center

In the mid-1960s, after the passage of the Voting and Civil Rights Acts, Martin Luther King Jr. shifted his focus. King theorized that racial inequality could not be defeated without economic equality. The result was the 1968 Poor People's Campaign, a multicultural, interfaith coalition with economic justice at its core. More than half a century later, a new generation of activists and faith leaders continued the charge.  On Saturday, the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, a virtual event, brought people together online. "Fifty-seven years ago, my father, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., reminded America of the fierce urgency of now. That now is not the time to engage of the luxury of cooling off, nor take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism," said Bernice King, daughter of the civil rights icon, in an introductory video.  More than three hours of personal accounts, calls to action, and sermons put economic inequality at the center of a range of issues troubling the U.S. and world. Health care, homelessness and income inequality were key subjects during the event. But so were issues brought to the fore by recent events including the police killing of George Floyd and the pandemic, which has disproportionately affected the Black community. "There's a system of interlocking injustices of economic inequalities and racism that runs so deep in America. COVID-19 has deepened these injustices," said Nia Winston, general vice president of Unite Here, a hospitality union.  Faith leaders, activists and everyday Americans were among those making the case for massive change.  Celebrities and notables including actors Danny Glover, Debra Messing and comedian Wanda Sykes all spoke to issues of inequality. Former Vice President Al Gore and Sunrise Movement activists asked for urgent action on climate change.  Other videos included testimonies of a diverse group of ordinary Americans, gathered from rallies, meetings and hearings.  In one video, Pamela Rush of Alabama recounted the conditions she and her two children endure in their mobile home.  "They charge me $114,000 on a mobile home that's falling apart," Rush said in footage taken from a hearing. "I got raw sewage. I don't have no money. I'm poor." Curtis Bradford of San Francisco spoke of his experiences with addiction, poverty and homelessness.  "I had to win a city lottery to get housing. At age 55, I finally have health insurance for the very first time in my entire life," Bradford said. The virtual event was streamed online with simulcasts through MSNBC and C-SPAN. A Facebook livestream for the event garnered over 1 million views, organizers said.  The event was also originally planned as a gathering in Washington, similar to one held two years ago. The pandemic forced organizers to move to the digital sphere. The coronavirus, which has forced massive layoffs, was itself a topic among speakers who cast the pandemic as accelerating longstanding issues of inequality. Saturday's event was also planned well before nationwide protests ignited by the police killing of George Floyd. In his closing sermon, event co-chair the Rev. William Barber alluded to Floyd's death and similar police killings caught on video. "On camera, we have witnessed terrible, murderous instances of police violence," Barber said. Many other injustices are not as easily captured on camera, he said. "Millions of people have been crying, 'I can't breathe' far too long," Barber said. An encore presentation was streamed Saturday evening, with one more planned for Sunday.

Question: Warren-Brown Pledge Keeps Attack Ads At Bay

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details!

It was no big surprise when outside groups started spending millions of dollars on attack ads in the high-stakes U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts between Republican incumbent Scott Brown and Democrat Elizabeth Warren. Republican strategist Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS superPAC aired spots highlighting Warren's ties to the Occupy Wall Street movement, saying she "sides with extreme left protests who support radical redistribution of wealth and violence." Left-leaning groups like the League of Conservation Voters accused Brown of "repeatedly voting against protecting our environment and public health." But in January, the biting back-and-forth came to an abrupt end when the two candidates signed what they called the "People's Pledge." Under the pact, a candidate who benefits from a third-party ad has to pay a penalty to a charity chosen by the other. As the candidates wrote in a letter to third-party groups: "Your spending will damage the candidate you intend to help." The deterrent worked; outside groups ceased their fire and the contest took a sharp turn from high noon to high horse. "I'm proud to say we're serving as a model for the rest of the nation," boasted a Brown radio ad. Instead of the rhetoric sinking lower and lower, the candidates were trying to one up each other in political piety. Brown claimed credit for having the idea of the pact. Warren said his deal had "loopholes Karl Rove could drive a tank through," and she insisted she's the one who made it real. When the first ad violating the pact aired in March by a group supporting Brown, Warren was indignant. But not to be outdone, when it came time to pay his fine, Brown wrote a check for double the agreed upon amount. "The tap dance is certainly who is squeakier cleaner, " says Tobe Berkovitz, a communications professor at Boston University. "They're both showing they are sort of model citizens, and both campaigns are being very cautious, because no one wants to be seen as the bad guy in the race." The improved tone of the campaign, as well as prime-time TV, came much to the relief of voters — and channel surfers — like Martina Jackson, a Democratic activist in Newton, Mass. "It is amazing. It's much, much better," she says. "It's relatively civilized, rather than all that mud thrown at each other. I don't miss it!" On the other hand, one can only imagine ad makers lamenting lost opportunities — especially in a week like this one. With news that Brown, who's ardently opposed to President Obama's health care law, is using it to get insurance for his adult daughter — and stories about Warren claiming to be a minority because of a great-great-great grandmother who she says was Native American — "we would be buried in mud," says Jeffrey Berry, a political science professor at Tufts University in Medford, Mass. "You can envision an ad of Elizabeth Warren in wigwam," says Berry. "Or wearing a wig, depending on how nasty [they] wanted to be." But instead, since any such ads would have to come from the campaigns themselves, the negative ads never appeared. The candidates were relatively restrained, and it all amounted to just a minor dust-up, impressing even the early skeptics, who doubted such a nuclear disarmament would ever stick. One local newspaper called it a near miracle. To others, the miracle remains to be seen. "I don't think it's gonna stick " says Scott Hibbard, 41, a chef from Roxbury. "In due time, there will be some negative ads. It's way early. And once [the race] starts sliding toward one side or the other, the other one is going to have to do something, and that's when the mud starts to fly." Indeed, the ceasefire depends on the cooperation of outside groups, and many are already restless on the sidelines. When the Coalition of Americans for Political Equality, for example, was asked to pull its ad in March, chairman Jeff Loyd did so only reluctantly. "We disagree with the purpose of the pledge because we wish to exercise our freedoms and legal right to support anybody we want," Loyd says. Republican strategist Todd Domke predicts: "At some point [independent groups] will probably say, 'Forget the People's Pledge ... We're people, too. It's time to go to war.'" Domke says it's unrealistic to expect independent groups to sit on their hands while control of the Senate may hang in the balance. "I don't think I'm being cynical in saying it's just a matter of time before [outside groups] decide to thrill their donors by launching attack ads that will make national news," Domke says. "They're not in this to be idealistic or to make Massachusetts a model for civility. They're in this to win and to be influential." As far as that "model for the rest of the nation" goes, so far, the few attempts to follow the lead of Brown and Warren — for example in Montana and Virginia — have failed. "It would be wonderful if this was the beginning of a trend," says Berkovitz. "But I don't have my hopes up." RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:  In Massachusetts, there's a h

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:  While Benn Steil argues for the consolidation of currencies, some communities around the U.S. are busy creating their own, hoping to give local businesses a chance to compete against big box retailers. The southern Berkshire region of Massachusetts calls their currency BerkShares. In Traverse City, Michigan it\'s Bay Bucks. And the local currency in Ithaca, New York is called Ithaca Hours.

This note entitles the bearer to receive two hours labor or their negotiated value in goods or services. Please accept it. Then spend it.  Well, it\'s three years later and I still haven\'t spent both my Hours. It\'s not like I haven\'t had a chance. More than 600 businesses use or accept Hours here.  (Soundbite of music)  MILLER: Feeling guilty, I go see Steve Burke at his record store, Small World Music. He\'s chairman of the Ithaca Hours Board of Directors. He says the point of the Hours isn\'t to replace dollars but to compliment them.  Mr. STEPHEN BURKE (Ithaca Hours Board of Directors): To join the system costs $10. But also for that $10 you get a disbursement of two Ithaca Hours, which is worth $20. So you pay in $10 and you get 20. What that does, it creates an entirely new revenue stream for this town that stays in this town.  MILLER: So the idea isn\'t to do what I did - buy Hours straight up for dollars - but to sign up and offer something the community needs. I\'ll proofread your newsletter if you give me an Hour. You give me a haircut and I\'ll give you an Hour back. And because we\'re both members, we actually gain an Hour in the bargain, free money, which we can spend on whatever.  Hey there, can I get a donut please?  Unidentified Man: Yes, you may.  MILLER: And I\'ve got this eight Hour of six Hours.  Unidentified Man: Just for one donut?  MILLER: The Ithaca farmers market does a brisk business in Hours. Dennis Hartley takes them for the cider and donuts he brings up from his orchard south of town.  Mr. DENNIS HARTLEY (Farmer): I think it\'s a great idea. The problem is awareness. There are still many, many people who like at you funny when you say Ithaca Hours. You can\'t go to a doctor and pay in Ithaca Hours. You can\'t go to a dentist and pay in Ithaca Hours.  MILLER: And you can\'t hardly go anywhere here on Route 13, Ithaca\'s big box strip. Of course that\'s the point. Hours are a reaction against this sort of economy. Back in the \'90s, activists in Ithaca helped keep Wal-Mart from coming to town.

So Starbucks wouldn\'t take my Hours. I know lots of locally owned coffee shops that will, but this place is packed. The national chains do tens of millions of dollars in business in our town. All told, there are about $120,000 worth of Ithaca Hours in circulation. It is a new source of revenue and it does all stay local. There\'s just not that much of it.

Question: Nella Wants To Be A Voice Of Hope For Venezuela

The 2019 Latin Grammys are set to take place on Nov. 14. As a nominee in the category of Best New Artist, Venezuelan artist Nella knows she not only carries her own story, but also that of her homeland to the ceremony when she attends.  Nella was born Marianella Rojas in the beach town of Porlamar, on the Island of Margarita, the largest Venezuelan island in the Caribbean, and grew up singing American pop music.  "I grew up listening to all the divas — Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, you name it, all of them," Nella says. "I would lock myself in the room from like 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. and just sing." After graduating from high school in 2007, Nella moved to Caracas, Venezuela to study communications and music. Then, she applied to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, a pressure-cooker environment for singers. "In Berklee there are 4,000 students. One thousand of them are singers," Berklee faculty member Javier Limón says. As a Spanish guitarist, composer and producer who has worked with some of the biggest names in flamenco, Limón saw something special in Nella when he first heard her at the college.  "In my opinion, the most valuable thing is the uniqueness, to be unique," Limón says. "Everybody sings amazing — perfect tune, perfect rhythm, perfect technique, whatever you want, any style. But to be original, to be different, to be someone special, that's what Nella had, and that's what she is now." Two years ago, Limón was hired to compose music for Iranian director Asghar Farhadí's film Everybody Knows starring Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz. Limón emailed Farhadí a link to a video of him and Nella singing the song "Fin de Fiesta." Farhadí loved the song and asked to hear Nella sing it over the phone. "So I did this song, and next thing I received a message saying that I had to go to Madrid, to not only record the songs of the movie but to also be part of this movie," Nella says. This opportunity led to Nella's debut album Voy, which was produced by Limón. One of the album's highlights is "Volveré a Mi Tierra," in which Nella touches on the humanitarian crisis affecting her homeland of Venezuela. Limón emailed Nella some lyric ideas for the song after reading a newspaper article about it.  "I just started crying," Nella says. "And in the middle of all of this I told him, you know what, we should put music to this."  The song's lyrics translate to "I will return to my homeland. Venezuela is great, beloved and eternal. I will return to my homeland, to sing to the sea and its full moon, I will return to my homeland where my people are brave and awaken." To capture the widespread impact of the crisis, Nella and Limón shot a video for "Volveré a Mi Tierra" full of the faces of Venezuelans around the world. As she heads to the Latin Grammys next month, Nella wants her music to be the voice of Venezuelans who hope for a better future for their country.  "Sometimes people complain that, 'You don't care about Venezuela, you're not posting things about Venezuela,'" Nella says. "I don't need to post these things to make people know that I love my country and that I would love to go back one day."

He began acting in the late 1980s and played character roles in dozens of movies and television shows over the last three decades, including "The Lone Ranger," "The World\'s Fastest Indian" and "Breaking Bad," according to Grant\'s IMDB filmography. Grant was active for years in the powwow circuit in California and traveled around the globe to speak to people about Native American culture, Carmichael said. "His motto in life was always respect one another and don\'t talk about one another in a negative way," she said. Grant was also active in the Native American veterans community and participated for years in the National Gathering of American Indian Veterans, said Joseph Podlasek, the event\'s organizer. "He thought it was important for Native people to get recognized as veterans," Podlasek said. "He was kind and gentle, and very humble." A memorial for Grant will be held in the Los Angeles area, but details haven\'t been finalized, Carmichael said.']>>  to <<['Represent this text to find its subtitle about the same news but with slightly more depth', "Actor Saginaw Grant, Known For 'Lone Ranger' And 'Breaking Bad,' Dies At 85"]>>

Question: U.S. Targets Taliban Leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour In An Airstrike

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour has likely been killed by a drone strike authorized by President Obama, the Associated Press reports. According to the Associated Press, Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said the attack occurred in a remote region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. "He said the U.S. was studying the results of the attack, leaving Mansour's fate unclear," the AP says. A second male combatant accompanying Mansour in a vehicle is also likely to have been killed. A U.S. official not authorized to publicly discuss the operation tells the AP the attack was carried out by unmanned aircraft operated by U.S. Special Operations Forces about 6 a.m. ET, southwest of the town of Ahmad Wal.   The Department of Defense issued a statement to the media via email saying Mansour was "the leader of the Taliban and actively involved with planning attacks against facilities in Kabul and across Afghanistan, presenting a threat to Afghan civilians and security forces, our personnel and coalition partners." Mansour became leader of the Taliban in July 2015, replacing founder and spiritual head Mullah Mohammad Omar. The Taliban confirmed that year that Omar had actually died in 2013. Mansour's leadership was met with dissension and a rival group selected its own leader. Says the AP:  "His formal ascension was divisive in the Taliban, handing him the challenge of uniting a fractured — but still lethal — insurgency that has seen fighters desert for more extreme groups such as the Islamic State."  The Pentagon added in its statement that, since Omar's death and Mansour's appointment as leader, "the Taliban have conducted many attacks that have resulted in the death of tens of thousands of Afghan civilians and Afghan security forces as well as numerous US and coalition personnel." Last December, the Afghan government reported Mansour had been was severely injured in a gun battle in Pakistan. The Taliban ruled Afghanistan according to a harsh interpretation of Islamic law until they were toppled by a U.S.-led invasion after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Question: It's ScuttleButton Time!

I'm on vacation this week, and thus no Political Junkie column, Talk of the Nation appearance or podcast for me. But giving up ScuttleButton? No way. ScuttleButton, of course, is that once-a-week waste of time exercise in which each Monday or Tuesday I put up a vertical display of buttons on this site. Your job is to simply take one word (or concept) per button, add 'em up, and, hopefully, you will arrive at a famous name or a familiar expression. (And seriously, by familiar, I mean it's something that more than one person on Earth would recognize.) For years, a correct answer chosen at random would get his or her name posted in this column, an incredible honor in itself. Now the stakes are even higher. Thanks to the efforts of the folks at Talk of the Nation, that person also hears their name mentioned on the Wednesday show (by me) and receives a Political Junkie t-shirt in the bargain. Is this a great country or what? You can't use the comments box at the bottom of the page for your answer. Send submission (plus your name and city/state — you won't win without that) to politicaljunkie@npr.org. (Why do people keep forgetting to include their name and city/state?) And, by adding your name to the Political Junkie mailing list, you will be among the first on your block to receive notice about the column and the puzzle. Sign up at politicaljunkie@npr.org. Or you can make sure to get an automatic RSS feed whenever a new Junkie post goes up by clicking here. Good luck! By the way, I always announce the winner on Wednesday's Junkie segment on TOTN — seven or eight days after the puzzle goes up. So you should try and get your answer in as soon as possible. But logistically, you have about a week to submit your guess. Here are the buttons used and the answer to last week's puzzle: L-F-G Nov. 7th — As everyone figured out the moment they laid eyes on this button, it's from the 1961 New York City Republican ticket: Louis Lefkowitz for mayor, Paul Fino for City Council President and Jack Gilhooley for Comptroller. All three lost to the Democratic ticket led by Mayor Robert Wagner Jr. No More Bull****/M.-B. — A 1969 New York City mayoral button of Democratic candidates Norman Mailer for mayor and Jimmy Breslin for city council president. N Need Nixon Now — Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968. Terry Miller Governor — Miller lost the 1982 Republican primary in Alaska. My President (photo of Bill Clinton in his hippie-but-didn't-inhale days) — Never could determine if this was a pro- or anti-Clinton button. Bonner County Sportsmen's Assn/Idaho (picture of a trout and a deer) — Not exactly a political button but I didn't have much choice. Watson — Albert Watson was the Republican candidate for governor of South Carolina in 1970. So, when you combine L + M + N + Terry + My + Deer + Watson, you may just very well end up with ... Elementary My Dear Watson. The line that Sherlock Holmes never actually said to his assistant Watson in any of the Arthur Conan Doyle books. (The movie is another story.) The winner, chosen completely at random, is ... Jeff Troia of Madison, Wis. Jeff gets not only the coveted Political Junkie t-shirt — but the Official No Prize Button as well!

Question: Coronavirus Has Now Killed More Americans Than Vietnam War

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth

In not even three months since the first known U.S. deaths from COVID-19, more lives have now been lost to the coronavirus pandemic on U.S. soil than the 58,220 Americans who died over nearly two decades in Vietnam. Early Tuesday evening ET, the U.S. death toll reached 58,365, according to Johns Hopkins University. While the number of lives lost in the U.S. during the pandemic and the U.S. death toll in that war are roughly the same now, the death rate from the coronavirus in America is considerably higher. It now stands at about 17.6 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. During 1968, the deadliest year for the U.S. in Vietnam, the death toll of 16,899 occurred at about half the pandemic's rate — 8.5 troops were killed for every 100,000 U.S. residents. The pandemic has also been marked by nationwide death tolls surpassing 2,000 on six days this month. The highest daily toll for Americans fighting in the Vietnam War was on Jan. 31, 1968, when 246 U.S. personnel were killed during the Tet Offensive. There are other parallels — as well as contrasts — between that conflagration and what's unfolding now. It was television that brought a war on the other side of the world into Americans' living rooms for the first time, as on-the-ground reporters chronicled the grinding mayhem of Vietnam for evening network news shows. By the same token, this pandemic may be the first ever to be televised on a daily basis. But while the five presidents — from Dwight Eisenhower to Gerald Ford — who held office during the Vietnam conflict only occasionally spoke to the nation about the clash, the American public has seen President Trump casting himself as a wartime leader and dominating lengthy news conferences televised live nightly from the White House. The claims Trump has made in his pandemic pronouncements — from saying his administration had "tremendous" control over the virus to promising it would "miraculously" go away to accusing the news media of trying to "inflame" the outbreak — have done little to boost his credibility. Fewer than a quarter of the respondents in a recent nationwide poll professed a high level of trust in Trump. Likewise, as early as 1966, critics of President Lyndon Johnson's upbeat portrayals of an increasingly unpopular war pointed to a "credibility gap." It was defined by then-Sen. Ernest Gruening, D-Alaska, as "a euphemism for what actually goes on — namely, that the American people are being misled by their government officials." Vietnam hasn't reported a single COVID-19 death, and as of April 24, it had 268 confirmed cases. A closer parallel to the total of lives lost so far to the pandemic in the U.S. may be the 2017-2018 flu season, the deadliest in the past decade. There were 61,000 influenza-related deaths nationally reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for a roughly eight-month period.

But unlike the Kurds, who agreed to overlook their differences and focus on their common goal of independence, the Sunni coalition has begun to split.

President Joe Biden’s response to the violence in Israel was under the microscope this week, after it was reported that Biden expressed a desire for a de-escalation in aggression in a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The White House appeared to pull back from public statements on the conflict this week, even as some members of Congress ramped up advocacy efforts. India reported 4,500 deaths related to COVID-19 in a 24-hour period, setting a tragic world record. Vaccine giant Serum also signaled that it won’t export doses before the year’s end, meaning the world’s poorest nations will have to wait even longer to be protected. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi echoed calls from advocates to boycott the Winter Olympics in Beijing following China’s alleged human rights abuses in its Xinjiang province.

Question: 'It's Absurd': Trump Officials Brush Off NBA Player Strikes Over Police Shooting

Updated at 2:45 p.m. Top White House officials are brushing off the significance of NBA protests this week over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.  President Trump also weighed in, lamenting Thursday that the NBA has become "like a political organization," but saying he didn't know much about the protests. "I know their ratings have been very bad because I think people are a little tired of the NBA, frankly, but I don't know too much about the protests," Trump said during a visit to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  "But I know their ratings have been very bad and that's unfortunate. They've become like a political organization and that's not a good thing. I don't think that's a good thing for sports or for the country." In interviews Thursday, Jared Kushner, a White House senior adviser and the president's son-in-law, discounted the player strikes. "Look, I think that the NBA players are very fortunate that they have the financial position where they're able to take a night off from work without having to have the consequences to themselves financially," Kushner told CNBC. "So they have that luxury, which is great." On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks said they would not play against the Orlando Magic in protest over Blake's shooting. The 29-year-old Black man remains hospitalized after he was shot seven times in the back by a white Kenosha police officer on Sunday, sparking days of protests in Wisconsin. A 17-year-old from Illinois is under arrest after three protesters were shot, two fatally.  The NBA later postponed all three playoff games scheduled for Wednesday. The WNBA and MLB followed suit, postponing games Wednesday night.  "We're tired of the killings and the injustice," Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill told ESPN on Wednesday. The Bucks quickly put out a statement calling on the Wisconsin Legislature to reconvene.  Lebron James, who plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, tweeted a message of support for the striking Bucks players. The Lakers did not play a scheduled game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night.   "F*** THIS MAN!!!! WE DEMAND CHANGE. SICK OF IT," James tweeted. On Thursday, Kushner told Politico he would reach out to James. "Look, let's both agree on what we want to accomplish and let's come up with a common path to get there," he said. Kushner pointed to the First Step Act, a criminal justice reform bill Trump signed into law in 2018, as evidence that the White House has taken tangible action on social justice issues. But the president has frequently decried protests by professional athletes, namely Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice.  "I think with the NBA, there's a lot of activism, and I think that they've put a lot of slogans out," Kushner said on CNBC. "But I think what we need to do is turn that from slogans and signals to actual action that's going to solve the problem." Marc Short, Vice President Pence's chief of staff, was asked on CNN whether his boss might weigh in on the NBA strike. "I don't know that you're going to see the administration weigh in on that one way or the other," Short said. "In my mind, it's absurd, it's silly." Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh told reporters Thursday that the president will mention what happened in Wisconsin in his nomination speech Thursday, talking broadly about unrest in American cities such as Minneapolis, Seattle, Chicago, Portland, Ore., and now Kenosha. Trump and Pence have often portrayed American cities as violent and lawless, deploying those descriptions to bolster their warnings about a Joe Biden presidency. "We will have law and order on the streets of America," Pence said during his convention speech Wednesday evening. "Joe Biden would double down on the very policies that are leading to unsafe streets and violence in America's cities."  Both Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, have weighed in with messages of support for the player strikes. "This moment demands moral leadership," Biden tweeted. "And these players answered by standing up, speaking out, and using their platform for good. Now is not the time for silence."
